President Infanticide: Dem Abortion Platform Does Not Exclude Partial-Birth Abortion
by John Nolte23 Aug 2012450post a comment
President Clinton believed abortion should be “safe, rare; and legal.” But Clinton also believed in a work requirement in his welfare reform bill.
President Obama apparently disagrees on both counts.
After unilaterally allowing states to waive the central pillar of the landmark and bipartisan 1996 welfare reform act — the work requirement — Obama has also proven himself to be a wild-eyed extremist on the issue of abortion and way out of step with at least two-thirds of the American people. And his convention platform backs this extremism up.
In 2008, the Democrat Party platform on abortion read this way:
The Democratic Party strongly and unequivocally supports Roe v. Wade and a woman’s right to choose a safe and legal abortion, regardless of ability to pay, and we oppose any and all efforts to weaken or undermine that right.
Obama was in charge of the Democrat Party in 2008, and there’s been no scuttlebutt whatsoever about any change that might include an exception for children who are already partially born and very much alive — but still aborted. The practice known as partial-birth abortion is infanticide — nothing more, nothing less. It’s a horrifying procedure (more here) that over two-thirds of Americans believe should be illegal.
And there’s little hope the 2012 platform will calibrate towards sanity and include this exception. After all, Obama is still in charge of the Democrat Party, and while running for the U.S. Senate in 2003, Obama defended late-term abortion:
Worse still, as a state senator in Illinois, Obama opposed the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act and in his defense said something that should put a chill up every mother’s spine:
There wasn’t any question about what was happening. The abortions were going wrong. The babies weren’t cooperating. They wouldn’t die as planned. Or, as Illinois state senator Barack Obama so touchingly put it, there was “movement or some indication that, in fact, they’re not just coming out limp and dead.”
