Yesterday, McCormack
uncovered an old video from 2003, when President Barack Obama was running
for the U.S. Senate from Illinois , in which he defends his position
favoring late-term abortions.
As an Illinois state senator,
Obama was so supportive of late-term abortions, he resisted efforts to protect
unborn children born alive after failed abortion
procedures.
When Obama opposed a
bill to stop infanticide as a member of the Illinois legislature, he said he did so
because it reportedly contained language that would have contravened the Roe v.
Wade decision. However, documents uncovered during the 2008 election show Obama
has misrepresented his position.
Obama, as a member of
the Illinois Senate, opposed a state version of the federal Born-Alive Infants
Protection Act, a measure that would make sure babies who survive abortions are
given proper medical care.
It also protected
babies who were “aborted” through a purposeful premature birth and left to die
afterwards.
During the March 2003
committee, Obama voted in support of adding the neutrality clause, but then led
his colleagues on the panel in voting down the anti-infanticide bill on a 6-4
vote.
“Barack Obama, as
chairman of an Illinois state Senate committee, voted down a
bill to protect live-born survivors of abortion,” NRLC legislative director
Douglas Johnson told LifeNews.com at the time.
