Gingrich reminds us that the press never questioned Obama over his support for allowing doctors to kill live babies that survived abortion procedures.
From 'What you need to know about the `Born Alive' controversy and Barack Obama' in a August 20, 2004 article at the Chicago Tribune:
Here's some of what Obama said on April 4, 2002 during floor debate in the Illinois Senate: The source of the objections of the (Illinois State) Medical Society (was that this proposal) puts the burden on the attending physician who has determined, since they were performing this procedure, that, in fact his is a non-viable fetus; that if that fetus, or child—however way you want to describe it—is now outside the mothers' womb and the doctor continues to think that it's non viable but there's, let's say, movement or some indication that, in fact, (the fetus is) 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 only plausible rationale, to my mind, for this legislation would be if you had a suspicion that a doctor -- the attending physician -- who has made an assessment that this is a non-viable fetus and that, let's say for the purposes of the mother's health, ...that labor is being induced, that that physician a) is going to make the wrong assessment and b) if the physician discovered, after the labor had been induced, that, in fact, he made an error, or she made an error, and, in fact, that this was not a non-viable fetus but, in fact, a live child, that that physician or his own accord or her own accord would not try to exercise the sort of medical measures and practices that would be involved in saving that child. Now if—if you think that there are possibilities that doctors would not do that, then maybe this bill makes sense. But I suspect --and my impression is that the Medical Society suspects as well --that doctors feel that they would be under that obligation, that they would already be making those determination and that ,essentially adding an additional doctor who then has to be called in an emergency situation to come in and make these assessments is really designed simply to burden the original decision of the woman and the physicians to induce labor and perform an abortions. Now if that's the case... I think it's important to understand that this issue ultimately is about abortion and not live births.
Pro life activist Jill Stanek noted then senator Obama's 10 reasons for supporting infanticide in an article on WorldNetDaily.com in January of 2008. Among the reasons was #10: "10. Babies who survive abortions are not protected by the Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution.
Obama, the sole opponent ever to speak against BAIPA, stated on the Illinois Senate floor on March 30, 2001: I just want to suggest ... that this is probably not going to survive constitutional scrutiny.Number one, whenever we define a previable 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. ... I mean, it -- it would essentially bar abortions, because the equal protection clause does not allow somebody to kill a child, and if this is a child, then this would be an anti-abortion statute. For that purpose, I think it would probably be found unconstitutional."
Obama quoted the Bible and leaned on his supposedly "Christian" faith to support raising taxes on some Americans to give it to others which is theft. At least he didn't even attempt to use his "phony theology" to try to support the idea of killing babies outside the womb.
The gruesome abortions by abortionist Kermit B. Gosnell highlight the real world results of what Obama was defending. Children were born and then killed by putting scissors in the back of their neck and snipping their spinal cord. One woman, 41-year-old Carnamaya Mongar, died in 2009 after receiving an overdose of anesthesia. Photos from inside the clinic show unsanitary, squalid conditions with jars and bags of aborted fetuses. Fetal remains were found in a refrigerator that the employees used to store their lunches. The abortionist, Kermit B. Gosnell, has been named in 46 lawsuits, but his clinic had not been inspected by state officials since 1993. None of the employees had any medical training. A high school student was employed as an anesthesiologist. The doctor used unsterilized instruments, infecting patients with venereal disease and often punctured uteruses and intestines.
But hey, if Messiah Obama said it was OK, its OK. Right?

Mitt's got momentum. Rick's on a roll. Paul's got passion.
And Newt Gingrich?
WOFL: "Where is Newt Gingrich? He seems to have fallen off the face of the map."
C-SPAN: "Newt Gingrich in need of cash."
CNN: "Trouble for Newt Gingrich no doubt about it."
The former house speaker placed fourth — essentially, last — in Maine's caucus. And he took third in a small but influential Conservative Political Action Conference straw poll. Mother Jones Washington editor David Corn put it this way:
"Perhaps the most significant aspect of CPAC poll is Gingrich receiving just 15%. If he can't impress that crowd, it's a bad sign."
To boot — The New York Times is reporting Gingrich is hitting a roadblock in fundraising.
And Monday morning — the editorial board of the conservative National Review Online urged the speaker to leave the race and make room for the other not-Mitt candidates.
"When he led [Rick] Santorum in the polls, he urged the Pennsylvanian to leave the race. On his own arguments the proper course for him now is to endorse Santorum and exit."
But Gingrich has vowed to stay in the race. And analysts on WTXF say — he's banking on the southern states of Super Tuesday for a super comeback.
"We have those two now, two-man race, Santorum and Romney. It depends, Gingrich should win Georgia. That is his home state."
A Public Policy Polling poll finds — without Gingrich in the running — Rick Santorum gets 50 percent of the GOP vote. But does that mean Gingrich should drop out? The Washington Post's The Fix blog says, not necessarily.
"Gingrich could point out that the poll analysis is wrong — were Gingrich (or Santorum) to drop out, polling shows it would only help [Romney] expand his lead. So those hoping to rally voters around a single 'conservative alternative' are misguided. He could argue that Santorum has an equally difficult path to victory."
The week will be relatively quiet in terms of high-profile campaign events. The next contests are in Arizona and Michigan at the end of the month.
