Obama: Anti-Life to the Core

We’ve said it before and we’re saying it again because it bears repeating … Barack Obama is anti-life to the core! Here is just a sampling of statements that have come from his own mouth.

“Well, the first thing I would do as President is sign the Freedom of Choice Act.”Obama’s made this promise to Planned Parenthood on July 17, 2007. The Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) would overturn all state laws restricting abortion such as prohibiting taxpayer funding of abortion, prohibiting partial-birth abortion, and requiring parental notification before a minor girl’s abortion.

When does a child receive human rights? “Answering that question with specificity, you know, is above my pay grade.”This was Obama’s response to the question at the Saddleback Forum held on August 16, 2008. John McCain’s response to the same question was “At the moment of conception.”“I don’t want my daughters punished with a baby.”Obama was talking about his young daughters possibly getting pregnant. This comment was made at a forum held in Johnston, Pennsylvania on March 29, 2008.

“I would have been completely in, fully in support of the federal bill that everybody supported – which was to say – that you should provide assistance to any infant that was born – even if it was as a consequence of an induced abortion. That was not the bill that was presented at the state level.”This quote was made by Obama in an August 16, 2008 interview on the Christian Broadcasting Network. The National Right to Life Committee found Illinois state records which indisputably document that as an Illinois State Senator, Obama voted against a bill to provide treatment to living, breathing babies who survive abortion attempts that was virtually identical to the federal law he now claims he would have supported given the chance. Obama has participated in a four-year cover-up of his vote and claims that NRLC is lying about his record, even though FactCheck.org, a non-partisan watchdog group, has reviewed all of the documents and concluded that Obama is the one who is lying about his record.

On the partial-birth abortion ban: “The fact remains, that with no provision to protect the health of the mother, this ban on a legitimate medical procedure is clearly unconstitutional and must be overturned.”This quote is from an Obama fundraising letter in February 2004 signed by Michelle Obama. Obama, who was a professor of constitutional law, knows full well that “health” has been defined by the U.S. Supreme Court to mean all factors relevant to a women’s well-being – in other words, an abortion for any reason!
