If you have browsed any internet blogging sites in the last few months you will have surely observed (with increasing frequency) the outrageous claims that Sen. Barack Obama is a baby killer, a mass murderer of infants. I am finding it increasingly offensive the more widespread and blatant it becomes!

An example of the typical claim may look like this: 

“you can’t hide the fact that Obama voted for, and believes if the abortion fails, there should be nothing done to save the infant, he would rather it lay there and die for lack of medical help, Obama supports infanticide it is well documented just look up the facts “

Well I have looked up the facts, and the facts dont support the claim!

Generally if you want to know the motivations behind someones actions you should just ask them. Nowhere is Obama recorded as saying he wants infants to die.

Obama didnt vote to approve the that particular bill that was proposed in Illinois because:

a) it was redundant, there were already laws in place stating care should be given, as well as the hypocratic oath all doctors take

b) the particular wording of the bill was designed to acknowledge a fetus as a “person” which would undermine Roe vs Wade

Even the Federal Born-Alive bill had to be re-worded when it was first proposed before it was accepted.

The Illinois bill that was proposed tried to declare a pre-viable fetus as a person, which it is not.

“Nothing in this section shall be construed to affirm, deny, expand, or contract any legal status or legal right applicable to any member of the species homo sapiens at any point prior to being born alive as defined in this section.”

 Obama has said he would have supported the Federal bill with its ammendment
