Obama Favors Partial Birth Abortions

edited May 2008 in A Moving Train
Can anyone explain this to me?


Obama supports partial birth aboritons.
That is, he would seek to remove the current ban on the proceedure.

Can someone here explain the medical necessity of this process of either simply murdering a birthed child, or inducing labor to then stab the child in the back of the head with scissors?

Yay liberal values!

    I will dig through ilga.gov right now, but I remember that bill very well, and it was an amendment tacked on to a bill for sole political purposes like this. If any Dems voted for it, the whole "partial birth abortion" line could be used against them.

    If he had his way he would abort all pregnancies. Democrats LOVE abortions. Free abortions for all.




    I like the "partial birth" saying too. It was "partiallY" born, but we wanted to terminate it. yippeeee.

    You really put all your ignorance out on the line on that one didn't you. I'm a Democrat and am somewhere between pro-choice and pro-life.

    I'm assuming you are a Republican (or a right wing conservative) where you prefer your abortions to wait 18 years by sending young and women into war and fighting for oil.

    Sarcasm. I thought it was obvious enough

    My bad. On the old board the universal sign for sarcasm was the green arrow underneath this. Lo ciento amigo.

    I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that Obama likes to travel to third world countries and actually PERFORM abortions, both elective and forced ones. I've never seen someone like him before, not even Cheney.... he must be stopped.
  • This is all part of Obama's "anti-baby" policy. It's the under-3 demographic that's really damning America these days.

    There's no such thing as "partial birth abortion". It's not a medical procedure, just a catch-phrase meant to incite outrage. And it seems to have worked on many Americans. I'm thankful Obama can see past the rhetoric.

    2nd- and 3rd-trimester abortions (and 1st-trimester ones too), are sometimes medically necessary to save the life or health of the mother.

    i don't think you read the story closely enough. The FORCED abortions will only be white babies in small town America.

    As if killing the babies before they were born wasn't enough, now they want to kill them when they come out! Wooo!!

    Filthy murderers.

    I'm exaggerating for effect. :p

    Besides, don't most politicians eat babies?

    I like mine fried up first thing in the morning alongside a big bowl of lucky charms.

    I just can't believe they've outsourced your work and your own product like that. :p

    If loving St Patrick's bone marrow based lucky charms is wrong, then I don't wanna be right!!




    Okay, I'll stop now. :p

    Yeah, thread integrity, right? :p

    Um... the concept of St. Patrick's bone marrow based lucky charms is about as silly as thinking Obama is gonna wantonly slaughter new-borns.

    Hooray! :D

    Actually, slaughtering a percentage of newborns might make universal healthcare more conceivable to some folks - less people to pay for with their precious taxes. :p

    Sell it, man! Sell it! :p

    That argument might actually work on some of those tax haters, sadly.

    Especially since it'd mean less demand for all sorts of resources - gas, food, what have you. Prices would plummet.


    I'm actually starting to buy my own rhetoric. Elect me! :D
