Obama and Abortion
Obama has been trying to soften his stance on abortion by trying to talk about reducing the number of them. But he can’t hide from his record.
Since Roe v. Wade, nearly 50 million babies have been murdered in the womb. Abortion is awful in general, but partial-birth abortion represents humanity at it’s worst. In this “procedure,” a baby is brought a out of the birth canal, except for the head, and then the “doctor” sucks that baby’s brains out while their arms and legs are wiggling, so that they are dead before they are “born.”
The idea of partial-birth abortion reminds me of capital punishment by having someone drawn and quartered, which was the most likely influence of the phrase “cruel and unusual punishment” found in the bill of rights. It is reminiscent of the kind of techniques used by Vlad the Impaler in the 15th century, who enjoyed coming up with more and more brutal ways of slow, torturous ways of killing people.
Bill Clinton vetoed a federal partial-birth abortion ban, twice. Bush signed one into law in 2003. It was upheld by the conservative wing of the Supreme Court in 2007, very narrowly. Guess which type of justices Obama would nominate, and which type of justices a Democrat senate would confirm – those who would uphold such a ban, or those who would strike it down as “unconstitutional,” even though no “right to abortion” exists anywhere in the constitution?
Beyond just his support for relativist judges, Obama’s record of support for abortion is on the extreme liberal side of politics. Obama voted against an Illinois partial-birth abortion ban in 1997. He voted to preserve state-funded abortions in 2000. He voted against parental notification when taking teenagers across state lines in 2006. He has received a 100% rating from NARAL, indicating that his voting record is completely consistent with someone who supports unrestricted, government-funded access to abortion, INCLUDING for teenagers.
Michelle Obama once described partial-birth abortion as a “legitimate medical procedure.” Their support for and defense of abortion has few equals in the history of presidential candidates.
To make matters worse, Obama voted against the Born Alive Infant Act in Illinois, which would have required doctors to provide medical care to babies who survived an abortion. Today he tries to spin this and make it sound respectable, but the reality is he voted to kill the bill in committee and spoke against it on the senate floor. His claims today that he supported the federal version of the bill are provably false.
I understand why someone wouldn’t vote on abortion alone. But we’re not talking about voting for someone who supports abortion in a *moderate* sense. We’re talking about someone who has, 100% of the time, voted against any abortion restrictions, who has indicated his support for Supreme Court justices who take a dynamic, relativist view of the Constitution (which is required to support the continued existence of the Roe v. Wade decision), and, in particular, who has defended the most brutal, violent practice ever devised by mankind against a child.
If you can, in good conscience, vote for someone who supports a mother’s right to bring a baby out of the birth canal, except for the head, and then suck that baby’s brains out while their arms and legs are wiggling, so that they are dead before they are “born”, or worse, to deny that child medical care if they happen to survive an abortion, then so be it. Personally, if a candidate can’t even find these two things so heinous, so brutal, and so depraved as to say that they should be illegal in any and all circumstances, then that candidate will never, EVER get my vote. And they (including Obama) shouldn’t get yours, either.
