As for your checkmate, you appear to be debating someone other than myself. I've never denied living abortions took place...rather that if they did they would be illegal in Illinois under state law.

You've really not challenged anything I've said, other than rant about abortion.

Let's recap.

Obama has always supported protecting a living aborted fetus outside of the womb.

Obama opposed amending state law because he thought it presented an obvious judicial challenge to Roe V Wade (which he obviously supports) and that the practice would already be illegal.

Obama supported the Federal law signed by President Bush.

And to you Obama's complicit in infanticide.

"Obama has always supported protecting a living aborted fetus outside of the womb."

Spence, have you been painting inside with the windows shut? You need to open the windows a crack. Not once, not twice, but three times, Obama blocked proposed bills that would have required doctors to care for babies born alive, regardless of perceived viability (and that's what the law you cited called for...unfortunately, viability is very subjective). The 3 proposed laws stated specifically that care would be required for babies that were born, and outside the womb. That's not remotely close to abortion.

If you read the factcheck link I posted earlier, they say that the 3rd time the bill was proposed (and blocked by Obama), there were no discernable differences between the bill Obama blocked and the one passed by the US Senate. And the bill passed by the US Senate, last time I checked, had no impact on a woman's right to abortion.
