Obama Attacks Abortion Survivor!

Obama is so desperate to continue the cover-up of his four votes as an Illinois State Senator to deny lifesaving treatment to babies who survive abortions that he is airing an ad bashing Gianna Jessen. Gianna survived a late-term abortion 31 years ago and appears in her own ad questioning why Obama would deny treatment to babies like her.

Clearly, this issue is getting under his skin, because anyone who talks about it is immediately branded a liar. “…Obama’s always supported medical care to protect infants,” his ad indignantly proclaims. Really. There are four recorded votes in the Illinois Senate of Obama voting against legislation to provide lifesaving treatment for abortion survivors.

Obama even spoke against one of the measures on the Senate floor, essentially saying that “pre-viable” babies who survive abortions do not deserve care. In other words, if a woman wants a dead baby, we should preserve her “right” to one, even if the baby is alive and breathing and fully separated from her.
Obama has come unglued over the discovery of committee votes by the National Right to Life Committee which indisputably prove that as a committee chair, he voted for language to make the Illinois bill before his committee virtually identical to the federal law which was approved unanimously by the U.S. Congress. Obama then voted against the amended bill. He continues to weakly claim he would have voted for a bill that was the same as the federal one, given the chance.

Even FactCheck.com has looked at the evidence and concluded that Obama is not telling the truth about his committee vote.

In an interview with LifeNews.com, Jessen said, “Obama is clearly blinded by political ambition given his attack on me this week. All I asked of him was to do the right thing: support medical care and protection for babies who survive abortion — as I did 31 years ago….In the words of his own false and misleading ad, his position is downright vile.”

Stay tuned for a lot more on this issue, especially in battleground states.
