What Does the President of the United States Believe about Infants Born Alive after a Botched Abortion?

What Does the President of the United States Believe about Infants Born Alive after a Botched Abortion?


As momentum builds for ending the media’s refusal to cover the facts about the horrificKermit Gosnell abortion-mill case, I think it’s worth remembering that President Obama dealt for several years with the question of whether or not infants should be protected when born alive after a failed abortion. Here is one quote:
[I]f we’re placing a burden on the doctor that says you have to keep alive a previable child as long as possible and give them as much medical attention as—as is necessary to try to keep that child alive, then we’re probably crossing the line in terms of unconstitutionality.
—Senator Barack Obama, March 30, 2001, arguing against the the Born Alive Act before the Illinois General Assembly
