Induced Infant Liability Act
77
Sun, 06-08-2008 - 3:20pm

Jill Stanek, a registered delivery-ward nurse who was the prime mover behind the legislation after she witnessed aborted babies’ being born alive and left to die, testified twice before Obama in support of the Induced Infant Liability Act bills. She also testified before the U.S. Congress in support of the Born Alive Infant Protection Act.

Stanek told me her testimony “did not faze” Obama.

In the second hearing, Stanek said, “I brought pictures in and presented them to the committee of very premature babies from my neonatal resuscitation book from the American Pediatric Association, trying to show them unwanted babies were being cast aside. Babies the same age were being treated if they were wanted!”



But Obama voted against this bill in the Illinois senate and killed it in committee. Twice, the Induced Infant Liability Act came up in the Judiciary Committee on which he served. At its first reading he voted “present.” At the second he voted “no.”

Sorry to disagree, but I don't agree with murdering babies.

Are you interested in discussing this or just reacting to what you think is happening?

An E-1 with less than 4 months in service is generally a 17 or 18 year old either in basic training or just out of it and in his/her first training school.

Honestly, I have talked this over with my OB on many occasions.

Every woman's situation is different, though, and neither you, nor your OB, can be aware of every patient's needs.

The majority of late term abortions are not done for the sake of the mother's health.

One thing that I have never understood about this procedure is if the woman can be induced and the fetus partially delivered and killed just before full delivery, why can't they just be delivered and then both mother and baby be given the best possible chance?

In one instance I know of (and I do not know how the procedure was done) the fetus, once born, would have lived for a period of minutes, in absolute excruciating agony and died gasping for air it was physically incapable of breathing.

I am absolutely not against an OB making a life/death decision for his patient, however an induction to save a mother's life, or hospital stay to try and save both is well worth it to me.
