Yes, there were similar provisions, but remember that this was all going on at the same time. Obama felt the issue was better handled at the Federal level so the State amendment wasn't used to challenge Roe V Wade in the State courts. I don't believe the refined state amendment (with wording to protect the right for the abortion in the first place) wasn't even added until 2003...after the Federal bill was already signed into law.


Exactly why Obama supported the Federal legislation.

Did you notice how your hero Newt was claiming that Obama "voted to legalize infanticide" in that recent debate?

"Actually he only voted against the legislation once."

He blocked it 3 times, twice in committee.

'Did you notice how your hero Newt was claiming that Obama "voted to legalize infanticide" in that recent debate? "

No, I didn't notice. But good for Newt, he's stating precisely what happened.

Again Spence, I'm sorry if Obama's actions here are self-explanatory in their monstrocity. Don't blame me for what he did, and don't pretend it didn't happen.
