Obama, Late Term Abortion, & Infanticide. (Chicago Senate Bill 1662)

Part of me wants to chicken out of posting this video… but this time I can’t.  I have MANY dear friends that are voting for Obama this November.  I see some of the appeal.  Some of these people are some of the most sweet, compassionate, beautiful people I know.  They feel Obama is the best way to help the poor, get everyone health care, and improve our image around the world.  In some terms I disagree in others I don’t.  For example, the rest of the world will probably like us more with Obama as our president.  But when it comes down to November, for many reasons, he will not get my vote.  

A sweet friend, whom I agree with a lot politically sent me the video below.  It is hard to watch.  If you have a dry eye you are either one super anti-depressants or maybe you need a heart check.  

Last time I posted on Obama and his refusal to support the ban on Late Term Abortion (a barbaric practice) I recieved many emotional comments that took the post out of context.  With some I wonder if they even read it.  I said no where in the post that the president could overturn abortion.  I have a brain and understand how our 3 branches of government work.  Please do not comment if you did not pay careful attention to my words and watch the video attentively the whole way through.  

Why do Obamas extreme (even for his party) views of abortion ensure I will not vote for him this November? (let me be clear though, this is NOT the ONLY reason I will not vote for him, but those are other posts.) 2 main reasons:

1. It is likely the next president will be choosing a supreme court judge.  Obama would make sure a pro Roe v Wade judge is in.  McCain will more likely choose a judge that would support overturning it.  Could overturning it be a long shot?  Possibly.  But while many of those in my generation have given up on the pro-life movement even though they personally are pro-life.  I have not.  I know of no where else in our laws where we are able to murder our own people, and I consider abortion a form of murder.  Therefore I just can not follow the crowd on giving that issue up.  To me it is not a choice that fits under the free will God’s grace has given us.  

2. As my first big Obama, late term abortion post, was about…  I feel that someone that could know fully about the Late term abortion procedure and vote the way he did must have many character issues.  We may not see them yet, but that is a character issue.  And now, knowing what this video explains, that Obama at one point was in support of babies that are born alive being left to die.  I’m beyond sickened.  

Please don’t comment here about how this isn’t true when there are provable written records to prove it.

Now all disclaimer and explaining aside… the video.

EDIT A FEW HOURS LATER:
My friend Velvet who sent me the first video posted a link to this one in the comments, if you want further information watch this video.  I’m working on getting even more concrete proof.

EDIT A FEW MORE MINUTES LATER:

Here is a link to the bill that Obama Proposed.  Senate Bill 1662.  The bill basically says (if you don’t want to go to the link to see the proof.  

   Amends the Statute on Statutes.  Defines "born-alive  infant"  to
   include  every  infant  member of the species homo sapiens who is born
   alive at any stage of development.  Defines "born alive" to  mean  the
   complete  expulsion or extraction from the mother of an infant, at any
   stage of development, who after that expulsion or extraction  breathes
   or  has  a beating heart, pulsation of the umbilical cord, or definite
   movement of voluntary muscles, regardless  of  whether  the  umbilical
   cord  has  been  cut  and  regardless  of  whether  the  expulsion  or
   extraction  occurs  as  a result of natural or induced labor, cesarean
   section, or induced abortion.  Effective immediately.

On Obama’s own site there is a chart from planned parenthood defending what bills “threatened” Roe V Wade. They saw defining a baby as alive once born as a THREAT! A THREAT! Here planned parenthood has shoved down the throat of my generation the lie that an inutero baby is not alive and therefore has no rights. Now they even say that of the born alive baby??? This is absolutely counter-intuitive.  

Go here to view Obama’s “no” vote in the Senate Judiciary Committee on March 6, 2002.  Bill 1663 Was a direct copy of bill 1662 and considered a “companion bill.
