Those of us who are pro-life have some ferocious debates with the people who are pro-abortion, but one thing you'd think all of us could agree on would be that once a child gets outside of the womb it is a child; it deserves medical treatment and legal protection.

However, Barack Obama, during his time in the Illinois State Senate didn't see it that way. In his opinion, a child who survived an abortion and made it outside the womb still didn't deserve a chance to live.

In other words, Obama literally supported killing children outside the womb -- but, don't tell anyone. He gets very upset when people point out the truth about his record,

In response to a political ad noting that Barack opposed a bill protecting babies who survive late-term abortions, the Obama campaign has produced an ad of its own, accusing the woman speaking in the ad -- herself a late-term abortion survivor -- of telling "a despicable lie."

"Can you imagine not giving babies their basic human rights, no matter how they entered our world? My name is Gianna Jessen, born 31 years ago after a failed abortion. I'm a survivor, as are many others . . . but if Barack Obama had his way, I wouldn't be here," says the ad produced by bornalivetruth.org.

The Obama campaign's response, an ad featuring a photograph of Jessen, says Obama's votes against the Born Alive Infant Act, cast when Obama was an Illinois state senator, have been "taken out of context" and that "Obama's always supported medical care to protect infants."

"I think it's interesting that he would say we are basically taking votes out of context," Jessen told CNSNews.com. "I don't know how you can take a vote out of context. It's a vote."

While Obama was in the Illinois State Senate, bills introduced in 2001, 2002 and 2003 were designed to ensure that newborns who survived abortions would be treated as a "person" with a right to the same equal protection of the law as any other person under the 14th Amendment.

When the bill came up in 2001, Obama voted "present," which in the Illinois Senate had the same effect as a "no" vote.

In 2002, when the bill came up again, Obama voted "no."

...While debating related legislation on April 4, 2002, Obama stated his concern about abortionists:

"As I understand it, this puts the burden on the attending physician who has determined, since they were performing this procedure, that, in fact, this is a nonviable fetus; that if that fetus, or child -- however way you want to describe it -- is now outside the mother's womb and the doctor continues to think that it's nonviable but there's, let's say, movement or some indication that, in fact, they're not just coming out limp and dead, that, in fact, they would then have to call a second physician to monitor and check off and make sure that this is not a live child that could be saved."

The death of 30 million children via abortion is by far the greatest evil that has ever been carried out in the history of our country, but defining a living child, outside of the womb, as a non-person so that a physician can let him die? There are echoes of Auschwitz in Obama's words. If only abortion had still been "beyond his pay grade" back then.
