In the last presidential debate, Obama dodged the issue of voting down the "Born Alive" act in Illinois by basically saying the law was unnecessary to protect the children that survived botched abortions, but in fact a danger to the life of the mothers, since there was no provision for such. He said the doctor's Hippocratic Oath would protect the children. This is a doctors oath to do no harm and to save lives whenever possible. But wait a minute! If the Hippocratic Oath was enough to protect the children, why wouldn't it be enough to protect the mother? In fact, once the child and mother are separated (i.e. the baby is born alive), why should there be any conflict between the preserving the life of the mother and the child simultaneously? The reality is that children were being left to die when surviving botched abortions and the legislation was in response to that horrific fact, and Obama opposed it because he feared it would weaken the all-holy-grail of liberalism: the right to an abortion! The legislation was necessary to protect the lives of innocent children! How dare Obama try to fool us with such sloppy and pathetic reasoning! The doctor's Hippocratic Oath!? Since when has that stopped the millions of abortions that have already taken place!? Shame on him for telling such disgusting and calculated lies! Shame on him for not passing that needed bill to protect the most innocent of us in the world of the living! Shame on him for not defending the most basic human right: LIFE!
Pass this on to any that believed Obama's pathetic explanation for his vote on the Born Alive Act.
