Is the title fair?
Obama on the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act.
After the baby is born alive (failed abortion), they let the baby die outside the mother’s womb.
This is a research done by Jill Stanek:
IL Senate 2001
- Senate Bill 1095, Born Alive Infant Protection Act
- Voted “no” in the Senate Judiciary Committee (March 28, 2001)
- Argued against the bill on the IL Senate floor (March 30, 2001) (see pp. 84-90 of this PDF)
- Voted “present” for the bill (March 30, 2001)
IL Senate 2002
- Senate Bill 1662, Born Alive Infant Protection Act
- Voted “no” vote in the Senate Judiciary Committee (March 6, 2002)
- Argued against the bill on the IL Senate floor (April 4, 2002) (see pp. 28-35 of this PDF)
- Voted “no” for the bill (April 4, 2002)
IL Senate 2003
- Senate Bill 1082, Born Alive Infant Protection Act
- Obama, who chaired the Health and Human Services Committee, held the bill from receiving a committee vote and stopped the senator sponsor from adding the federal act’s clarification paragraph, which made the bills absolutely identical.
Jill Stanek’s interview on O’Reilly,
[…] friend had promoted a website shamelessly flaunting the irony in its name. A cursory look at conservative blogs sees a frenzy of eager-to-slander bloggers jumping on this chance to regurgitate the rumor […]
I like how the comment above, which link this blog entry as an example of a conservative blog spreading ‘rumors’ that is slandering Obama, failed to show where we were wrong. I also do not think the blog for comment 1 even read the Senate’s bill himself. The blogger is guilty of the same thing he is accusing this blog of committing: That is, he is slandering us with something that is not true: We are not spreading rumors and we have linked to the bill itself from the Senate. Maybe he should read the definition of born alive again in that bill.
