Akin's Opposition to Rape Exception Vs. Obama's Infanticide Support
Obama's support of abortion to the point of condoning infanticide could not be clearer. It is grotesque, barbaric, sick and yes, crazy. It is the radical belief of our current president of the United States.
And the press continues to minimize, distort, rationalize, or ignore it, because the press is pro-abortion and likes Obama.
But the press will take a guy who believes babies shouldn't be murdered because their fathers are rapists and call that guy grotesque, barbaric, sick, and crazy. Ref. Source 7
New Audio Surfaces of Obama Defending Infanticide in Illinois
That President Barack Obama was the only member of the Illinois legislature to not support a bill to provide medical care for newborns who survived failed late-term abortions is one of the key reasons pro-life voters will never support him.
Now, Weekly Standard reporter John McCormack has uncovered new audio of Obama, as a state legislator in Illinois in 2003, defending his position. Obama essentially argues that there is no need for the law because he trusts abortion practitioners to provide medical care for the baby they unsuccessfully tried to kill in an abortion. Ref.

The list is long on speakers who have spent their entire political careers advocating for abortion. Missing among the roster of notables speaking at the convention? Anyone who shares the pro-life view a majority of Americans hold on abortion. Ref. Source 9
Michelle Obama: My Husband Stands for Promoting Abortion
First Lady Michelle Obama made it clear just what President Barack Obama 'stands for" as he campaigns for re-election to another four-year term in the White House: abortion.

Obama Campaigns on Abortion to Hide His Economic Failure
In the three days of 'speechifying" that constituted the 2012 Republican National Convention, precious little time or rhetoric was devoted to the topic of abortion. While Messrs Romney and Ryan (along with notable speakers including Condoleezza Rice and Marco Rubio) delivered rousing speeches certain to ignite the conservative base, the American people heard little from Republicans about the death toll of the unborn in America - a staggering number which tops 55 million and continues to climb.
Instead, the focus of Republicans this election cycle is on jobs, the economy, and the debt/deficit debacle. It is on these issues that the President is most vulnerable, and these issues that are most pivotal to independents whose support is so critical to Romney's chances come November. Ref. Source 9
Obama Backed Infanticide: Pro-Lifers Had It Right All Along
The title of Ramesh Ponnuru's excellent post today captures a powerful truth-"Obama and Infanticide: The media still insist on defending his votes in favor of infanticide." We will quote at length from his analysis, but it is very much worth reading in full at National Review Online.
Mr. Obama and those who defend his actions as a state Senator have offered a number of explanations for his opposition to a bill in Illinois that would have provided legal protection to babies who survived abortion. For example, as Ponnuru explains, "They said he opposed it because the law lacked a clause clarifying that it did not protect fetuses within the womb. In fact Obama opposed a version of the bill that contained one (not that there was ever any need for it)." Ref. Source 3
