I received a heads up on the following video from CreativeMinority, its maker. He selected the perfect name for himself. His work is excellent… literally gave me chills.
In only 1:50 mins CM nailed Obama’s depth of depravity in opposing the Born Alive Infant Protection Act along with providing tiny heartbreaking reminders of who Obama would let die for the sake of Roe v. Wade.

I love how you keep bringing Obama into the discussions. Makes my day every time. President Obama. Has a nice ring to it, don’t you think?
No, it doesn’t.
More importantly, did you watch the video, Hal?
Yes, Jill. I watched it. I have no problem voting for Obama. Luckily for you guys, Ted Kennedy, Barbara Boxer and Hillary Clinton will stay in the Senate and be able to beat back Obama’s attempts to mandate infantcide.
It is hard to explain but every time I see a baby that has been aborted I feel sick inside. Every. Time.
Lord, have mercy on us all.
” Luckily for you guys, Ted Kennedy, Barbara Boxer and Hillary Clinton will stay in the Senate and be able to beat back Obama’s attempts to mandate infantcide. ”
is it that you are disappointed that infanticide is prevented. how should i understand this comment.
” Here is what seems to me to be his argument:
1. The Supreme Court has declared laws banning abortion before viability to be unconstitutional.
2. There is no difference between the moral status of a fetus inside its mother before viability and the moral status of a born baby at the same developmental stage.
3. Therefore, banning the killing of a born baby at this stage is morally tantamount to banning abortion at a pre-viability stage. (from 2)
4. Therefore, the law is unconstitutional. (from 1 and 3) ”
we would do well to be certain about what it is we mean and also to understand his logic here.

Hal, 3:15p, said: “Luckily for you guys, Ted Kennedy, Barbara Boxer and Hillary Clinton will stay in the Senate and be able to beat back Obama’s attempts to mandate infantcide.”
I agree with Roger. What did you mean by that?
I was just remarking that the video indicates that you have lots of Senators (even liberal ones) on your side of this issue. Obama’s view, if accurately portrayed (see Roger’s comments above) won’t matter that much if they are really so “out there.”
I read the article Roger linked to, and it seems Obama is trying to grapple with some complicated Constitutional issues, not moral ones. He taught Con Law, I didn’t. So, I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt.
Somewhere in a American, a baby accidentally pops out during an abortion procedure.
Somewhere in America, Barack Obama says its okay to let the baby die in a trashcan because a law that requires a doctor to save the baby’s life would be a violation of abortion rights.
Somewhere in America, people are applauding and shaking hands with Barack Obama at a campaign rally.
Hal, Roger, 3:40p described self-proclaimed constitutional expert Obama’s faulty constitutional logic.
It seems to me you’re comfortable with Obama’s support of infanticide, thinking he’ll never get anywhere with it, so so what.
He’s not supporting infanticide, he’s opposing a law that addresses rights of a fetus/baby. He has concerns about that particular law. He might be right, or he might be wrong, but it doesn’t mean he supports infanticide. He’s not proposing a law requiring doctors to kill babies.
Hal,
Does that mean he’s pro-choice on infanticide?
no. He might very well be against it and would support a properly worded law. I don’t know. I’m sure he’ll be asked before November.
Thanks, Jill, for this important post. Obama is not the knight in shining armour that many people have been fooled into thinking he is. Just because he taught constitutional law doesn’t automatically qualify him as having the last word. In fact, his extreme views put him to the left of the left, even in academia, which is really saying something.
What DO we know about Obama? We know he exercised (at best) extremely poor judgement in his long term association with slum-lord Tony Rezko. We know his views on life issues are way out of the mainstream. We know his views on 2nd amendment rights are out of the mainstream. We know he is a relatively untested senator in only his second year. We know he has exhibited very poor judgement in his usage of illegal drugs. We know he has not disavowed extreme positions taken by the pastor of his church. We know he has said he would ram uninvited into an Islamic republic that possesses nuclear weapons in search of Osama. As to this last point is is hard to picture either Hillary or Obama as commander-in-chief, especially when compared to John McCain, but between Hillary and Obama, Hil seems the better qualified.
Stay tuned for even more revelations. Once the Clinton attack machine really gears up in the final weeks of the primaries, more doubts will be raised about Barack’s qualifications.
He’s not supporting infanticide, he’s opposing a law that addresses rights of a fetus/baby. He has concerns about that particular law. He might be right, or he might be wrong, but it doesn’t mean he supports infanticide. He’s not proposing a law requiring doctors to kill babies.

We already have a law that allows doctors to kill babies. Obama opposes the Born Alive Infant Protection Act because it recognizes there is no “magic point of viability” that justifies abortion. At least you admit that “he might be right or he might be wrong” about it. That’s a start.
MK, Elizabeth this weekend is our best chance to schedule a get together if we are going to have one. Or anyone else that lives in the Chicago area :)

Bingo.
It’s an end-run to declare ANY stage of pre-natal development an “infant.” It could potentially redefine manslaughter.
“The bill contains only two main sub-sections: The first defines the words ‘person’, ‘human being’, ‘child’, and ‘individual’, as including “every infant member of the species homo sapiens who is born alive at any stage of development.” Although the term “infant” normally refers to a newborn baby, here its meaning is extended to also include a fertilized ovum, pre-embryo, embryo and fetus.
The second explains the term “born alive.” As defined for a
“… member of the species homo sapiens, [it] means the complete expulsion or extraction from its mother of that member, at any stage of development, who after such 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.” 3
Yes, Laura, because zygotes normally breathe, have a beating heart, and have definite movement of voluntary muscles.

The quotation marks and notations make it clear that I quoted the information from another source.
When you quote scripture are you plagiarizing?
“Here is the law. It says that if a baby is born alive, whether by intended delivery or by failed abortion, it is legally a person, a human being, a child, and an individual.”
(From Roger’s website)
How low we have sunk that we need a law to tell us this. It is self-evident.
We are currently attempting to pass the same type of law in Canada. It received second reading in our House of Commons today. Please pray that this law passes in Canada.
WE have no restrictions on abortions in Canada at this time.
WE have also had a rash of murders of mothers and their unborn babies. The mothers were targeted by partners whose intent it was to kill the child they did not want.
The majority of Canadians support this law.
What a great video post. I don’t think the US can count much on Ted Kennedy preventing infanticide – didn’t he already have a run in with this sort of thing in a car accident once……seems to me a pregnant girlfriend/lover……
Most powerful 2 minutes I’ve seen!
CM will go far. May his truth rock this nation.
Sadly, I fear there are way too many who will
do little more than shrug their shoulders.
Ho hum!
Patricia,
I will commit to praying for Canada. Please keep the prayer requests coming!
God Bless!
DEAR SENATOR OBAMA,
As an immigrant from Kenya, your father found new hope in America
Sherif Girgis will get no response from Obama. He has no time for little people. His is all ears for those with power and money. They will get what they expect from him. He talks about working together with everyone. Yet he has the slimmest record of doing so.
He’s losing! He will NOT be our next president!

Obama is losing?
of course.
wanna bet?
yes. Hal, America is just putting on a front. They are hyping people to BELIEVE that we may actually be ready for a black president. We are not ready, and it won’t happen.
skin color doesn’t matter to me. If he were a strong conservative republican I would vote for him. I just think he’s an over rated motivational speaker with nothing but deep thoughts that won’t take America very far.
He keeps touting that he will be the one to bring Americans together. Does he think that conservatives are going to drop their morals and values and miraculously become liberals?
I think not.
” It seems to me you’re comfortable with Obama’s support of infanticide, thinking he’ll never get anywhere with it, so so what. ”
no jill i am not comfortable with his position. i think that the logic reveals the true nature of abortion.
“yes. Hal, America is just putting on a front. They are hyping people to BELIEVE that we may actually be ready for a black president. We are not ready, and it won’t happen.”
Apparently, you don’t have HOPE. If Powell or Rice were running, would you say the same thing? r is it just a black liberal we’re “not ready” for?
The fact that a couple of people are trying to defend denying care to babies so that they die is very sad. Take this as a loving call to go home and rethink your life’s priorities!
Obama’s losing? Thats news to me, last I checked he garnished more of the popular vote alone than all the republican candidates combined in a huge number of the primaries, I think Clinton even came close to the same.
As for the accusation that he thinks conservatives will drop everything and become liberal: no he doesnt, but he is willing to work and compromise as his record shows if you look at bills he sponsors as well as cosponsors, etc.
As for the “we’re not ready for a black president” that is complete and utter crap. We are ready, and in a matter of a few months we’ll have one. May wanna get used to the idea ;)

………………………………………………………
What kind of care is being denied? Singing lullabies? What this bill is attempting to do is force the medical community to attempt extraordinary measures to magically turn a non viable fetus born too soon, into a viable infant. There is a wild story held near and dear to the PL that thousands of feti are ‘born’ alive after an abortion and they are being clubbed over the head like baby seals.
The whole silly concept will force thousands of dollars of expenses upon tax payers, insurance companies and grieving parents.
Sally…wake up. “Parents” in abortion clinics are hardly “grieving”…except when the baby survives it’s murder attempt.
Sally, you have a cold heart.
Dan, what news channel are you watching? I’ll bet you 1 million dollars that he will lose.

……………………….
How do you think dead embryos and fetii are removed? They often don’t come out on there own you know. Abortion is often required. Don’t know much about pregnancy do you Mike.
What do you call ‘born alive’ Mike? No brain or no functional lungs but a heart beat for a few minutes? What are you going to do Mike? Brain transplant from another preemie? Lung transplant? Exactly what?
Sally, you have a cold heart.

Heather, you have a dull brain. Do you really think that resortiong to attempted insult supports your position?
You support this legislation. Explain to me what you think should be done to save the incapable of living?
I’m sure all guys who write comments are teens or even younger. If you are older, than shame on you!
It’s gratifying to see not only that such positive things happen, but that they are being REPORTED.
