The Inconvenient Truth About Abortion


I am really proud of this latest blog post I wrote for abolishabortion.com. I encourage you to give it a read despite its length! (If you've caught on at all, I tend to be a bit long-winded.) 
The topic is Obama's voting record on the Born Alive Infant Protection Act as Illinois State Senator. His votes against this life-protecting Act was and still is of extreme interest to pro-lifers, and a fact they like to tout when exposing Obama's pro-abortion record. However, I'd read conflicting things about it from the other side, and struggled with the oft-made statement which seemed extreme to me that "Obama supports infanticide!"  So I wrote this, an informed, balanced, pro-life account of the facts and a possible way to interpret them without being an extremist. Make no mistake, I think it's abhorrent that Obama voted against BAIPA, but I think we need to be educated before making claims. I conclude with why I think that, regardless of his defenses, voting against this Act was pretty darn unacceptable.
