Obama and "born alive" babies

I posted this to a message board on October 9, 2008:

FactCheck has an article defending Obama's view on abortion.

At the misnamed Christ Hospital in Illinois, babies that survived abortion were left to die.

If the previous Illinois bill protected these babies, then why was it necessary for another bill?  Obama said his objection was that it would lead to banning abortions, and yet he voted against a bill that included a provision that it would not affect other abortions.

Obama said: "Number one, whenever we define a pre-viable fetus as a person that is protected by the Equal Protection Clause or the other elements in the Constitution, what we're really saying is, in fact, that they are persons that are entitled to the kinds of protections that would be provided to a child, a 9-month-old child that was delivered to term. That determination then, essentially, if it was accepted by a court, would forbid abortions to take place. I mean, it would essentially bar abortions, because the Equal Protection Clause does not allow somebody to kill a child, and if this were a child, this would be an anti-abortion statute."

What is his definition of a child? The baby is outside of the womb and still alive! I read a comment by someone that said: Why is it illegal for a woman to kill her child, but it is legal if it is still inside of the womb? The left is also ambiguous on what is considered a right.

Some Obama supporters had the gall to launch a pro-life website.

NARAL rated him 100% from 2005 to 2007.
