Obama And Infanticide - Part 2 - 23 Minutes / Documentary Video / The Evidence Against Obama / SB-1093, SB-1094, SB-1095. Images, video clips and text either from Fair Use of the public domain. Produced by Secret of the Rosary Films. Part 3 currently in production.

While Barack Obama was still a state senator in Illinois, in 2001 a bill was introduced in the state Senate that was closely patterned on the federal Born Alive Infants Protection Act, to govern constructions of state law. The proposed Illinois law required that life-sustaining treatment be given for a child in the event the child survived an abortion. The law had three parts divided into three bills. Senate Bill 1093 provided that no abortion procedure which had the reasonable likelihood of producing a live-born child should be undertaken unless a second doctor was present to provide medical treatment for the child. Senate Bill 1094 created a cause of action if a child was born alive after an abortion and the abortionist harmed or neglected the child or failed to provide life-sustaining medical treatment. Senate Bill 1095 provided a definition for a born alive infant.

On March 30, 2001, these three bills were brought to the floor of the Illinois State Senate for discussion. The video contains the actual regular session Senate transcript:

Obama Transcript: "Well, it turned out ­­ that during the testimony a number of members who are typically in favor of a womans right to choose an abortion were actually sympathetic to some of the concerns that you raised and that were raised by witnesses in the testimony. And there was some suggestion that we might be able to craft something that might meet constitutional muster with respect to caring for fetuses or children who were delivered in this fashion. Unfortunately, this bill goes a little bit further, and so I just want to suggest, not that I think itll make too much difference with respect to how we vote, 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 were 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 nine­ 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 is a child, then this would be an anti-abortion statute. For that purpose, I think it would probably be found unconstitutional. The second reason that it would probably be found unconstitutional is that this essentially says that a doctor is required to provide treatment to a previable child, or fetus, however way you want to describe it. Viability is the line that has been drawn by the Supreme Court to determine whether or not an abortion can or cannot take place. And if were placing a burden on the doctor that says you have to keep alive even a previable child as long as possible and give them as much medical attention as ­­as is necessary to try to keep that child alive, then were probably crossing the line in terms of unconstitutionality. Now, as I said before, this probably wont make any difference. I recall the last time we had a debate about abortion, we passed a bill out of here. I suggested to Members of the Judiciary Committee that it was unconstitutional and it would be struck down by the Seventh Circuit. It was. I recognize this is a passionate issue, and so I wont, as I said, belabor the point. I think its important to recognize though that this is an area where potentially we might have compromised and arrived at a bill that dealt with the narrow concerns about how a previable fetus or child was treated by a hospital. We decided not to do that. Were going much further than that in this bill. As a consequence, I think that we will probably end up in court once again, as we often do, on this issue. And as a consequence, I'll be voting Present."

  • Look at all the racist comments XD LMAO ROTF!!! Like Obama is really a M.D. performing these operations & like abortion fucking means anything to the average person. Getting rid of abortion is not gonna put food on the table, keep the lights, get you good healthcare or even pay your mortgage for that matter. Also theres a high correlation of dead women being found in closets when abortion is banned. You wanna see young dead women in closets? Thats your case of Necrophilia.

  • What about Obama's killing of actually born babies in foreign countries with killer drones?

    Does that count, too?

  • Guess what kind of sick demented and twisted sickos wrote these bills.

    ESQUIRES! FOREIGN AGENTS. THE BAR. There used to be a time when esquires would be hung if caught. What happened?

  • obama the biggest turd to be president!!!!!

  • OMFG :(

  • St. Jerome wrote in a similar vein during the fourth century, but about unmarried women who found the Church's teaching on chastity too demanding. First he cites those who have intercourse out of wedlock, but make sure they do not conceive by taking appropriate drugs. Others become pregnant and then commit abortion to avoid exposure of their guilt.
