"I don't want them punished with a baby"
(Senator Obama, in Pennsylvania, speaking about his daughters)

“Punish?” Does he really think that? Maybe we shouldn’t be surprised that Barack Obama thinks of little babies as mere “punishment.” After all, he voted to leave little newborns to die.

When Barack Obama was a state senator in Illinois, the issue of leaving newborns to die was hotly debated. According to sworn testimony, a hospital was performing “live birth abortions.” In this coldly calculated procedure, the abortionist gives the woman a drug to induce delivery. A living, wholly intact baby is born.

The baby isn’t given to his mother’s waiting arms to thrive and grow. He doesn’t go to a nursery. He doesn’t even receive any comfort care. The baby is put on a cold table and left to die.

Barack Obama had the chance to support legislation to ensure that babies who survive abortion are afforded the same legal protections as those who are spontaneously born prematurely. In fact, he had FOUR chances, but he refused to vote in favor of protecting these vulnerable lives all four times.
