re: #759 The Shadow Do

And then there is Obama who finds that if they survive abortion then …kill ‘em!

You know the history of that bill. No one is killing babies born alive under current law. The objection to the new law was defining a fetus that was born alive was then a baby, regardless of viability. That was simply written in to open the door to deciding when life begins even if the fetus is not viable. From the fact check web site.

“What we can say is that many other people – perhaps most – think of “infanticide” as the killing of an infant that would otherwise live. And there are already laws in Illinois, which Obama has said he supports, that protect these children even when they are born as the result of an abortion. Illinois compiled statute 720 ILCS 510/6 states that physicians performing abortions when the fetus is viable must use the procedure most likely to preserve the fetus’ life; must be attended by another physician who can care for a born-alive infant; and must “exercise the same degree of professional skill, care and diligence to preserve the life and health of the child as would be required of a physician providing immediate medical care to a child born alive in the course of a pregnancy termination which was not an abortion.” Failure to do any of the above is considered a felony. “
