Obama's abortion voting record under fire

The interview with Jill Stanek last night on Hannity & Colmes.   We'll start here.

The Chicago Tribune's Eric Zorn's column today sets up a defense for Obama's lead in rejecting state legislation with the same wording as the 2002 federal proposal he now says he would have supported.  He give more details in an online-only 4000 word "What you need to know about the `Born Alive' controversy and Barack Obama [according to Eric Zorn]."

Simply put, in 2003, Obama voted "No" in an Illinois Senate committee against the same legislation he claims he would have supported as a U.S. Senator.  This past Saturday, Obama accused National Right to Life of lying about his 2003 committee vote. 

Zorn spent a considerable amount of time researching the confusing history of this state legislation that ultimately did pass in 2005, after Obama went to the U.S. Senate.  The Illinois General Assembly's final version of the Born Alive Infant Protection Act was weaker and less substantive than the federal version that became law in 2002.

The inescapable fact is that for years, Barack Obama, Planned Parenthood lobbyists, the ACLU lawyers and the cooperating rabid pro-abort Democrats in the Illinois General Assembly denied babies born alive constitutional protection for one reason and one alone -- because those babies were unwanted by their mothers.  In the mind of Obama and his puppet masters Planned Parenthood and the ACLU, those expectant mothers' right to abortion outweighed their babies' right to life. 

Illinois remains one of the only states in the nation with absolutely no abortion restrictions in effect.

More to come . . .
