This is on YouTube. It’s his voice. I cannot vouch for the authenticity of it, but I trust the friend who sent it to me.
In the audio, Obama raises a new argument against the Born Alive Infant Protection Act that he has not raised in public during the present discussion. The description of the YouTube clip sums it up:
In this audio Obama coldly claims two doctors helping a baby born alive after a botched abortion would be a burden for the aborting mother when he is arguing against the Born Alive Infant Protection Act at the Illinois state legislature April 2002

Obama's Final Solution
Octavian Wednesday, August 20th at 9:17PM EST (link)So I guess it is safe to conclude that Barack Hussein Obama’s final solution for the abortion issue is to promote infanticide. I don’t even think Josef Stalin’s conscience would have allowed him to permit infanticide like Barack Hussein Obama.
Bright lines
SteveLA (Diary) Wednesday, August 20th at 9:25PM EST (link)I’m one of those moderates on the abortion issue, but even moderates have bright lines of right and wrong. This is wrong. “The One” is wrong, and a coward to not have the courage of his convictions.
I hope Senator McCain in the coming days hammers Nobama over and over the head with his lack of moral courage and inability to tell right from wrong. Something that even Babs Boxer and Di Fi were able to do when the Federal version of this bill passed 98 to 0.

jimmuy8 (Diary) Wednesday, August 20th at 9:59PM EST (link)That’s bad. Real bad.
He’s saying that calling another doctor in after a baby survives an abortion attempt is too burdensome. Really? What other life saving procedures (advocated and made necessary by your pal Edwards) can we now call an “additional burden?”
But further: There is a lot of ugly things one could say, “perhaps such and such befell your mother or your daughter or your wife,” what life-saving procedure would be an “additional burden” and not worth the effort? Why, then, should not the same be extended to a infant?
PS: maybe this is the tapes hinted at in leaked Hillary memos? It explains why they weren’t released–if you support abortion, you really have no standing to criticize the extremes, do you?
PPS: How’s that floor vote for Hillary looking, Barak?

Why was this released right before the Dem convention?
Anteater (Diary) Wednesday, August 20th at 10:50PM EST (link)The best strategy would have been to release this tape one nanosecond after the delegates select Obama.
If this is not a hoax, Obama is finished. Even if this tape never existed, Obama is finished if McCain pushes the BAIPA issue.
If the Dems figure it out quickly enough, they will throw the nomination over to Hillary … which is not good for us since Hillary is a stronger candidate.

Tomlinson Douthat (Diary) Wednesday, August 20th at 10:51PM EST (link)From pp. 33-4 of this pdf.
This was transcribed rather that copied/pasted, because of the “security permission” of the pdf, so some errors might have crept in. There’s also some back-and-forth on the same topic between Obama and another senator in the surrounding pages of the document.
From what I can tell, the bill failed by a single vote.
Obama is making McCain look good
mikejmoe Wednesday, August 20th at 11:11PM EST (link)McCain is on the up and up in the latest Zogby Poll with a 5 point lead. This latest round of ammunination given to McCain is showing that McCain is unfit for command.
You see with the lack of experience and political judgment that Obama lacks, McCain has a greater advantage in the election as folks know where he stands and voters feel more confident.
Stump speeches like these from Obama don’t win elections. McCain will prevail.
Not a chance at this point that the Ds switch horses

A mind twisted in knots by nuance.
Loren Heal (Diary) Thursday, August 21st at 1:49AM EST (link)Obama loves to redefine words and argue against his own definitions.
He plays on the word ‘viable’, which doctors use to mean ‘able to live, if assisted’ and redefines it to mean ‘able to live without assistance of any kind’.
Confronted with the testimony that physicians performing abortions in fact had allowed babies in need of assistance to die, he argues that no physician would allow the death of a child not in need of assistance.
But his real point is that the bill he’s voting against would put in place a safeguard which would be a hindrance to abortion generally, making them incrementally harder to get.
It’s like arguing that guns should not have safeties, because it would make them more expensive and harder to use.
But somewhere along the way he forgets that he’s voting for infanticide. If physicians will do the right thing, then why doesn’t he vote in favor of that right thing?

Anything, ANYTHING to compromise McCain’s Pro Life principle, to mitigate this Obama disaster or spin it away. McCain must be able to address this issue decisively with a VP who stands in unity with him on abortion.

Humans only species that murder their own young
Octavian Thursday, August 21st at 7:43AM EST (link)Correct me I am wrong but I think Humans are the only species that proactively try to kill their unborn young for reasons other than saving the life of the mother. Even mother spiders sacrifice themselves as food for their offspring.

Data point from the delivery room
Uma Richie (Diary) Thursday, August 21st at 9:02AM EST (link)I know I don’t have to convince anyone here on this point, but in case you run into a hard core Obama supporter…
When I delivered my youngest, I noticed an obvious code word on the wall near the phone and asked the nurse what it meant. She explained that it was the hospital’s established procedure to have a pediatrician in the hospital at all times in case a neonate wasn’t looking healthy (low APGAR score). The code word simply paged the pediatrician to the delivery room.
Mine was a small hospital, delivering about 40 babies per month. Based on the virtual nursery online, Christ Hospital, where Jill Stanek worked, delivers at least 120 babies per month. If a small hospital can easily bring in a second physician to assess a newborn, it should be no additional burden for Christ Hospital.
Humans only species that do not murder their own young
tjexcite (Diary) Thursday, August 21st at 4:51PM EST (link)Many animals murder there own and even eat their offspring. Mice will kill and eat all of their own litter if the mother is threated from a predator. Lions kill all offspring in the pride that are from another male. Only Humans (at least) do not kill the weak. (unless they are liberals)

Barack and Michelle a Kill the Baby Dynamic Duo
MosesOBrien Thursday, August 21st at 9:05PM EST (link)Looks like Barack and Michelle were a match made in “full term viable baby aborting” heaven. Michelle Obama wrote a scathing letter against the ban on Partial Birth Abortion stating the following…
Michelle Obama sent out a letter on Barack’s behalf in 2004 that denounced a federal law banning partial-birth abortion, writing that “this ban on a legitimate medical procedure is clearly unconstitutional.” Clearly!
Barack’s lies are piling up. I knew this guy was a bold faced liar the first time I heard him say he’d never heard anything like the hateful bigoted rantings of his pal and whitey hating pastor Reverend Wright.
What’s also interesting is that I’ve heard the hospital doing these type of abortions was a so called religious hospital. It was the United Church of Christ and the hospital was located just blocks from Barack’s church of the same denomination. It’s beyond my comprehension they were leaving breathing babies alone in storage rooms to die. It’s barbarism pure and simple
I think Obama supporters
blooch Friday, August 22nd at 8:03AM EST (link)were deluding themselves into thinking that PUMA’s were ready to accept a WOTH* as VP and whistling past Sebelius’ abortion graveyard. The Obamabus is slowing down to a crawl, the door is opening, and Sebelius is being advised on the best way to hit the ground running.

Hot on the heels of his explanation for why he no longer wears a flag pin,
presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama was forced to explain why he
doesn’t follow protocol when the National Anthem is played.
According to the United States Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171,
During rendition of the national anthem when the flag is displayed, all present
except those in uniform are expected to stand at attention facing the flag
with the right hand over t he heart.
‘As I’ve said about the flag pin, I don’t want to be perceived as taking
sides,’ Obama said. ‘There are a lot of people in the world to whom the
American flag is a symbol of oppression. And the anthem itself conveys a
war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air and all. It should
be swapped for something less par ochial and less bellicose. I like the song
‘I’d Like to Teach the World to Sing.’ If that were our anthem, then I might
salute it.’
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this could possibly be our next president!!

Flag Pin & Anthem
NamVet Thursday, September 4th at 4:40PM EST (link)I’m a Viet Nam vet. I, like many others, fought for Obama’s right not to be respectful of our/my flag and national anthem. My answer to him would be, “If you don’t like our flag or our national anthem, you have my permission to move to Russia, Cuba, or China. Go somewhere else where they think like you do. Don’t dishonor those who have died for that beautiful flag and anthem. You are disrespectful to those who have given their all, and I don’t like that. I don’t take it from my family nor will I take it from you. I told my oldest son once, when he said he would move to Canada rather than serve in the military, that if he moved there, then don’t come back. Obama, move and don’t come back!!!!”
