re: #216 Dave the…..

Charles, since you are pretty much always right on facts (but we disagree on opinions many times), I will accept that.

Here are the facts:

The Born Alive Infant Protection Act was not simply a bill to protect infants “born alive.” It was an attempt by the anti-abortion lobby to change the way abortion is defined in the law, and undercut Roe v. Wade. The bill Obama opposed was intended to increase the liability for doctors and hospitals that perform abortions.

This is a good post about it, with lots of quotes from the actual bills and the deceptive language introduced by the Stanek-Santorum crowd:

This is NOT as simple as “Obama supports baby-killing.” I am NO FAN OF BARACK OBAMA, but there’s a lot of dishonesty going on in this issue — from the right-wing side.
