I will never be able to vote for Senator Barack Obama based on one issue. He voted against Partial-Birth Abortion. The procedure is one of the most disgusting things imaginable. There’s really no argument to justify its existence. Many times abortion advocates lean on the “health of the Mother” excuse, but that’s just a red herring.
The Untied States Supreme Court has upheld the law passed by Congress a few years ago. Unfortunately Obama’s problems aren’t just contained with Partial-Birth Abortion. While he was a State Senator in Illinois Obama voted against the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act. The law states that any baby that has been born alive after a botched abortion is to be legally considered a person. The law passed the US Congress by unanimous consent, but when it came up for a vote in Illinois Obama voted no. This is significant because Obama voted “present” most of the time. In order to avoid sticky political issues the future presidential candidate would not vote. However, in this case Obama raised his voice. Even the very liberal NARAL did not oppose the law. Obama has given some excuse about a “neutrality clause” but that’s been exposed as a lie. Obama is way out of step with mainstream Americans on this issue, and I cannot vote for anyone that believes that a baby that survives a botched abortion should be killed.
