Obama: live babies pose burden

Posted 21 Aug 2008 in 2008 election, abortion, Barack Obama, outrage

The primary point of contention in any debate about abortion hinges on the point at which a fetus officially becomes a human being. For pro-life advocates, life begins at the moment of conception. For pro-abortion advocates, life begins at birth. That is how abortion before the moment of birth is justified.

But when an abortion is performed and the fetus is delivered alive, is it not at that point a living human being worthy of human rights?

Not according to Barack Obama. If the mother initially wanted it dead, it is to be killed in spite of its inconvenient birth.

And contrary to his disingenuous accusations that “folks are lying” about his position, Obama did in fact argue in the Illinois Senate numerous times against providing basic healthcare for babies who survive abortions.

The audio clip and transcripts have surfaced (Ed Morrissey has the entire passage, and Infidels Are Cool has the audio).

“I suspect that doctors feel that they would be under that obligation, that they would already be making these determinations, and that essentially adding an additional doctor, who then has to be called in an emergency situation to come in and make these assessments, is really designed simply to burden the original decision of the woman and the physician to induce labor and perform an abortion.”

Yeah, we wouldn’t want to burden the doctor and the birth mother with the annoying fact that her child somehow survived their clinical murder attempt. Even if one was to argue in favor of abortion for the health of the mother, how would treating a live infant threaten the health of the mother?

The only folks lying are those trying to deny that Obama favors infanticide for convenience sake. How else can you classify unrestricted abortion on demand for all babies up to and past the point of delivery?

People, they took live babies at Christ Hospital in Illinois and put them in a closet to die. How much more horrific does it have to be? That’s abandonment, neglect, and murder.

Would it help if they had fed them to wild dogs or smashed their skulls with a hammer? Perhaps the doctors in Illinois should be more professional and inject the baby’s heart with poison after delivery, as they do to unwanted babies while they’re still inside the mother. Then we could just call it post-birth abortion so everyone could feel better about this new “choice”.

Sorry, I know that was over the top, but this is change I can’t believe in.
