BAIPA the Born Alive Infant Protection Act / Obama's stand?

BAIPA the Born Alive Infant Protection Act which stated all live born babies were guaranteed the same constitutional right to equal protection whether or not they were wanted.

Obama voted against it twice. He supports partial birth abortions.

A nurse in Illinois discoved babies being born alive and shelved on utility carts and left to die.

This is acceptable, according to how Obama voted.

Is this infanticide?

What do you think?

    this is absolutely not acceptable. infants feel pain just as adults do. and anyone who can be in favor of the torture of an infant is capable of any inhumane act... is this who we want running our country? i certainly dont

    @Noah, it's not a rumor it's a fact.

    But, it doesn't matter now anyway.

    Obama voted against it in 2002, but in late 2002 the federal bill passed anyway, and Bush signed the Born Alive Infant Protection Act into law.

    Partial Birth abortions were also banned by Bush in 2003.

    The only purpose that records of these votes serve now, is to let people know who voted for what.

    Hillary always voted FOR allowing Partial Birth abortions (so did Bill), too. But even Hillary didn't vote against the Born Alive Infant Protection Act. I still don't like Hillary, though.

    This is from Wikipedia: "Obama expressed displeasure with the Supreme Court ruling that upheld a ban on 'partial-birth' abortions saying the ban didn't sufficiently consider the mother's health" Partial birth abortion is when only the head is inside a viable infant and instead of letting the head exit the vagina they stick a scissor in her neck and kill her. What medical condition would require that they head cannot exit without hurting the mother? And the head exists anyway!

    Anyone that votes to let babies die should not be president. Of course I haven't heard about it, but I will check it out. I still think Hillary will make the better candidate for president. Go Hillary 08

    First of all, suprised that he was present to even cast a vote. Second, I'm not suprised at his take on this issue. It's clear that he doesn't care about these babies. I can't imagine how people can leave babies to just die. Sad.

    VOTE FOR HILLARY CLINTON!!!!!!!!!!!

    I am ambivilant about there being government regulation of abortion at all levels. But it seems to me that with a viable child it is pretty clearly murder. Why don't state laws already cover that?

    And yeah, I knew about his vote. And yeah, it sure sounds like infanticide to me.

    No it is certainly not acceptable. Who else will he want to let die. Next it will be the elderly so we can make room for the younger generations.

    I guess he thinks our population is too high anyway, so let them die.
