Obamacide!

Obamacide


How does one properly describe another who would – for purely selfish political reasons and with deliberation – intentionally refuse a thirsty child water or a hungry child food?

More specifically, what does one call a lawmaker who would condemn to death the child survivor of a botched abortion by permitting doctors to refuse that child, once born alive, potentially life-saving medical treatment and nutrition?

A number of things come to mind. Mr. President isn't one of them.



Based on National Journal's vote ratings – an objectively tallied assessment of congressional voting records – Barack Obama has properly earned the dubious distinction as the single most liberal senator in Congress during his brief, albeit overstayed, tenure. But a cursory review of his words, deeds and associations reveals that this ivory-towered Harvard boy is no run-of-the-mill lefty. He's an extremist among extremists.


Put aside for a moment some of the highly suspect (even criminal) characters within Obama's circle of friends, such as the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, William Ayers and Tony Resko. Forget the many anti-American sentiments to which prospective first lady Michelle Obama has given voice.
And ignore, for now, the socialist, peacenik, MoveOn. org positions Obama holds on a host of fiscal, social, and national security-related issues. Instead, for the sake of brevity, take a look at Obama's demonstrably radical stance on just one issue: abortion.


Last year the U.S. Supreme Court upheld in Gonzales v. Carhart the federal ban on the barbaric practice of partial-birth abortion. Congress overwhelmingly passed the ban in 2003. Even some of the most liberal members of Congress experienced unexplained fits of common sense, voting for the ban in the face of angry demands from mouth-foaming feminists.


Although the American Medical Association has determined that partial-birth abortion is never necessary under any circumstances, Obama threw a hissy, nonetheless, after the opinion came down. While deriding the Court for its ruling, he whined, "For the first time in Gonzales v. Carhart, the Supreme Court upheld a federal ban on abortions with criminal penalties for doctors.
"

So what, exactly, did the ban ban? What "hard-won right" – as he later called partial-birth abortion – was Obama so steadfast to preserve?

During a partial-birth abortion, the abortionist pulls a fully developed, fully "viable" child – often kicking and thrashing – feet first from her mother's womb, leaving only the top of her head in the birth canal. He then stabs her through the skull with scissors or some other sharp object, piercing her brain until her kicking and moving about suddenly and violently jerk to a halt. Her brains are then sucked out – collapsing her skull – and her now limp and lifeless body is tossed aside like so much garbage.


Again, medical science has determined that this horrific practice, which is nothing short of infanticide, is never necessary. But Barack Hussein Obama – the man who would be President – doesn't see it that way. He called the partial-birth abortion ban, "a concerted effort to roll back the hard-won rights of American women.
"

Although Obama's love affair with partial-birth abortion has served to chip away at his finely polished veneer, his opposition to the Born Alive Infants Protection Act (BAIPA) has revealed to the world that backward extremism permeates his marrow.


BAIPA very simply requires that when a baby survives an attempted abortion – when she is "born alive" – further attempts to kill her must immediately cease, and steps must be taken to ensure her health and well-being.


Makes sense, right?

Not to Barack Obama. While serving in the Illinois state senate, he led the fight against a state version of Born Alive that was substantively identical to the federal BAIPA. In 2002, BAIPA passed the U.S. Senate with unanimous, bipartisan support; yet, Obama vehemently opposed its Illinois twin. This places him on the furthest fringe of pro-abortion extremes. The man's devotion to the pro-abortion industry is so fixed that he would rather allow the murder of newborn babies than give an inch to the sanctity of human life.


When called on the carpet in 2004 for his complicity in facilitating infanticide, Obama began an extensive cover-up, accusing those who exposed the scandal of lying. But in recent days, based on documentary evidence unearthed by the National Right to Life Committee, the Obama campaign has been forced to admit that it was Obama, in fact, who had been lying all along. He not only led the charge to allow the continued practice of infanticide in Illinois, he carried the flag.


During his recent "not-ready-for-primetime" appearance at Pastor Rick Warren's Saddleback forum, Obama was asked at what point "a baby gets human rights." His answer was shocking: "Well, uh, you know, I think that whether you're looking at it from a theological perspective or, uh, a scientific perspective, uh, answering that question with specificity, uh, you know, is, is, uh, above my pay grade," said Obama.


What?! Above my pay grade? And this man wants to be the leader of the free world? Even the most ardent pro-abortion wactivist would have likely said that a baby gets human rights as soon as it's born, right? But Obama couldn't say that. His opposition to Born Alive proves he doesn't believe it. And if he had said it, he'd have been called on it.


Well, I'm calling him on it anyway.


So, we now add a new word with a dual definition to our modern political lexicon: Obamacide. It means (1) killing the newborn survivor of a botched abortion through a deliberate act of omission; and (2) that which a nation commits upon itself by electing one who would allow such a thing.

I got about that far, and rolled my eyes at the realization that this was not going to be a fair and objective look at the issues.

I don't think obama will win. His steam is already low, he came out the gate great, but has no stamina. McCain is passing him in the polls during the DNC, that is unheard of. He should have went up at least 5 points in the polls during the dnc.

Ill defend the rights of abortion in specific cases just as much as Ill defend our right to free speach and to own a gun. There are reasons for it. Do I support 3rd trimester ones no. But what that retardly biased article fails to point out is anything else was on those bills.

Its like when GWB vetoed the childrens health care act. How can anyone be against health care for children? Its really easy to be when the bill contains a payoff to the state of Michigan for 1 billion dollars for them to do whatever the hell they want to do with it, it was just there to get the Michigan representatives on board with the bill.

People look at these issues and all they see is black and white. This bill is on abortion, yeah, and what else? There is a reason most politicians are lawyers or businessman they are used to reading the legal bull**** that goes into most bills and they can find loopholes in them and make **** up just to stick in the bill.

Sometimes, I feel like I am the only person looking at this election with an objective eye. Trust me when I say I see things in Obama that make me not interested in having him be our next President. But McCain is no better.

It should boil down to what issue(s) you are most concerned about and who has the better plan.

Abortion is an emotional-based issue that no president is going to rest his/her Presidency on addressing in first few years of a term and unless they have a compelling case and a majority in Congress, wouldn't tackle it in the second term either.

That's BS, or in a nicer term, one way of looking at it.

Abortion will depend on when someone retires from the Supreme Court and who makes the nominations and appointments for their replacements. Roe v. Wade is hanging on by one vote. If the balance changes, it will be overturned. . . or not.

But we can't take another 4 of McBush. Oh yah this is an IMAGINARY recession. I'm just dreaming the economy has gone to hell. I guess I'm imagining my business is rapidly dying and the lumber yards are closing, that there are record forclosures, that banks aren't going under and gas is three times higher than 8 yrs ago, that friends and family have DIED in a war we were LIED INTO.

Damn I have a good imagination, and a depressing one too.

And overturning it RvW will stop abortion? Hell NO. It was going on before and will continue after if it's overturned.....drugs are illegal yet they are running rampant and on the increase, and tied to a major portion of crimes commited. If people spent half the time and money in preventing these pregnancies there would be no need for abortion without just making it illegal. This is a social problem, not a legal one. If parents were involved with thier kids, and if adults would show some common sense and restraint it would reduce the demand for abortion by 80%. We could cut the demand for abortion by making alcohol illegal, a large number of abortion cases are a result drunken stupidity and reduced inibitions, so overturn RvW but at the same time, outlaw alcohol.
