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.”

"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.

The kind of abortion you're talking about (if the baby is anacephalic for example) has nothing to do with the law you're spouting.

And for the record, I am absolutely, completely, AGAINST abortion for myself.

Hi, I'll answer here since you bring up a good point and also haven't accused me of, er, "spouting" anything ;)


I, personally, posted to the thread because, like I said, the ban against Intact D&X's doesn't accomplish anything of worth so I'm always stymied when it's brought up as a big bad thing if someone voted against it.


That said, it is *extremely* difficult to keep the arguments around that from bleeding into argument over the right to choose in general.
