Born Alive would I have Rights?

Please get past the first paragraph to understand what I am asking. Let me start by saying
that I am 100% PRO LIFE and proud to be so. I do not dance around my disdain for the
practice of abortion; to me it is tantamount to murder. But it is the law of the land, a
judicial activist law of the land. If you want it legal the states should be the ones deciding,
not the federal government and definitely not a judge. Now that I have that out of the
way and hopefully I have not lost everybody.

With abortion being legal in this country, the Center for Bio-Ethic reform reports that
Number of abortions per year: 1.37 Million (1996) and Number of abortions per day:
Approximately 3,700 in the United States. Somewhere between 50 and 80 children per
year survive the abortion process and are alive and breathing. Meaning that they are born
in the United States but yet they are not afford the Rights guaranteed to all citizens. How
can this be? Are they not American Citizens once they breathe on their own? Even though
the mother wanted an abortion, does this child deserve protection?

So my first quest to the readers is do you believe this should have child has rights? Does
this child deserve all means necessary to save their life?

Let me paint another picture for you. A child is a child whether the child is willingly wanting
born. The child is no less a child if born alive even if the child is born from the result of a
botch abortion. The child born in a botched abortion is in trauma having been torn from
the womb. The child gasp for breath, reaches for something to grab, kicks and cry aloud.
We are talking about the most defenseless of all people, the new born child of a botched
abortion attempt. I simply ask that you imagine, put yourself in that room.

The room is cold and bright, screams of a crying newborn can be heard. The child; having
been taken out of the comfort and warmth of the womb, the only place the child has
known. The Child rushed out of the darkness of the womb into the cold and bright lights
of a loud cold room. The Child now lying on the floor or in a bucket is tossed aside;
screaming, scratching, and clawing to cling to its precious short lived life. This Child is left
to die. This is repeated 50 to 80 times a year in this country. Could you leave the room?
Could you let the child sit there and die? Answer the question honestly. Could you leave
the child that has been ripped from the womb into a bright sterile cold room and tossed
aside to die, could you would you leave the room? If you did would it haunt you? Would
you look at your own child and ever wonder?

I refuse to believe that anyone that believes in GOD or has any morals could leave that
room. But it happens 50 to 80 times a year. Now let me ask would you support a law
requiring that the baby born in a botched abortion be afforded the same rights that you
have.

 Would you support that law?

 Would you think any less of someone that would let the child die or not support this
law?
o Answer it honestly and I believe you could have not respect for someone that
could not support this law.
 Now let me ask could you vote for a politician that could vote against the law?
 Could you support a politician that not only voted against it but openly advocated
against the law?
 If you do still support them, are you not condoning the killing of a child?
o Could you kill the child yourself?
 By voting to for this person are you inadvertently condoning the killing of this child?

Well you may have already done so. First let me state unequivocally I am not a racist, but
this is the reason I could never support Barack Obama. Also let me point out the there is a
so called fact finding group called FactCheck.Org. It is funded by the Annenberg
foundation. For four plus years (1995-1999) Barack Obama spent as founding chairman of
the board of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge. So they tried to claim the following part of
my story as false but later admitted that it was true. I take the rest from Illinois State
Senate records.

. While Barack Obama was a State Senator he advocated for abortionist. He crossed the
line however in 2001, a line that frankly should have been heavily reported and he should
have been questioned about. What came up in the Illinois state legislator was an
argument over babies being born alive after a botched abortion.

Here is the actual legislation being debated. It was called the Born Alive act.

1 AN ACT concerning infants who are born alive.

2 Be it enacted by the People of the State of

Illinois,
3 represented in the General Assembly:

4 Section 5. The Statute on Statutes is amended by

adding
5 Section 1.36 as follows:

6 (5 ILCS 70/1.36 new)

7 Sec. 1.36. Born-alive infant.
8 (a) In determining the meaning of any statute
or of any
9 rule, regulation, or interpretation of the
various
10 administrative agencies of this State, the words
"person",
11 "human being", "child", and "individual" include
every infant
12 member of the species homo sapiens who is born alive
at any
13 stage of development.
14 (b) As used in this Section, the term "born
alive", with
15 respect to a member of the species homo sapiens,
means the
16 complete expulsion or extraction from its mother
of that
17 member, at any stage of development, who after that
expulsion
18 or extraction breathes or has a beating heart,
pulsation of
19 the umbilical cord, or definite movement of
voluntary
20 muscles, regardless of whether the umbilical cord
has been
21 cut and regardless of whether the expulsion or
extraction
22 occurs as a result of natural or induced labor,
cesarean
23 section, or induced abortion.
24 (c) A live child born as a result of an abortion
shall be
25 fully recognized as a human person and accorded
immediate
26 protection under the law.

27 Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes

effect upon
28 becoming law.

This law would simply require doctors to do everything to save the child once the child was
born. A child is a child whether the child is willingly wanting born. The child is no less a
child if born alive even if the child is born from the result of a botch abortion. The child
born in a botched abortion is in trauma having been torn from the womb. The child gasp
for breath, reaches for something to grab, kicks and cry aloud. We are talking about the
most defenseless of all people, the new born child of a botched abortion attempt.

I simply ask that you imagine, put yourself in that room.

The room is cold and bright, screams of a crying newborn can be heard. The child; having
been taken out of the comfort and warmth of the womb, the only place the child has
known. The Child rushed out of the darkness of the womb into the cold and bright lights
of a loud cold room. The Child now lying on the floor or in a bucket is tossed aside;
screaming, scratching, and clawing to cling to its precious short lived life. This Child is left
to die.

Well Barack Obama did just that. On March 30th 2001.

On the Illinois Senate floor he debated and stated and I took from their records. Obama
argued- “Number one, whenever we define a previable fetus as a person that is
protected by the equal protection clause or the other elements in the Constitution, what
we're really saying is in fact, that they are persons that are entitled to the kinds of
protections that would be provided to a -- a child, a nine month-old-- child that was
delivered to term. “ Again we are talking about a child, not a fetus; the child is kicking and
screaming outside the womb. And this child is fighting for its life. Obama did not vote for
the bill, he did not vote present, he voted against it. He voted against it again in 2002. In
2003 he was the Illinois Senate's Health and Human Services Committee, Obama in
committee voted for it to go to the floor. But when it made it to the floor he voted against
it again. Three times he could have saved the CHILD, he chose to ignore the CHILD and let
it die an agonizing death.

This is the line he willfully crossed. This logic and reasoning that Obama used to take this
stand; makes me conclude in the end, Obama is truly heartless man. But I am more
troubled by why is a University founded on Religious values inviting this man to speak?
