Obama Lied About Abortion Record
New Book, The Case Against Barack Obama, Sets the Record Straight
The Obama camp is now acknowledging that Barack Obama lied about his abortion voting record on the Born Alive bill, as reported weeks ago in the New York Times bestseller The Case Against Barack Obama by David Freddoso.
The New York Sun reported that Obama's campaign has admitted that the senator voted against giving medical care to babies born alive after an abortion attempt"a fact that the campaign originally dismissed as a "smear." The reality behind Obama's rhetoric is that he worked against efforts to ban the gruesome practice of leaving babies who survived failed abortions to die. When confronted with the facts, Freddoso says the senator did what is typical among politicians"he lied.
In fact, as Freddoso points out in The Case Against Barack Obama, Obama has made several untrue statements over the course of this debate. While Obama said that he would have supported the federal version of the Born Alive bill if it had come up in Illinois, when it did come up, he in fact did not support it.
Additionally, he falsely accused the National Right to Life Committee, and those who have been pointing out his extreme and cruel position on this issue of being liars. Even in his book, The Audacity of Hope, Obama smears all pro-lifers saying they have discouraged compromise that would reduce the number of partial-birth abortions simply because the image of a partial-birth abortion helps win converts to pro-life groups.
The Case Against Barack Obama is currently #5 on the New York Times bestseller list. It has been received with much acclaim as the first book to truly prove that Obama deserves his liberal label and that his claim to be a reformer is a lie.
Human Events will continue to present the case against Barack Obama, including his failures in energy, education, and Eastern Europe.

@Miller,
The abortion issue shouldent be a test of the presidency. I am against most forms of abortion but the republicans had the presidency for eight years and congress for six years and did nothing but talk about the abortion isue. Talking about a problem is not solving a problem.

Rabel,
Getting two pro-life Supreme Court justices onto the court is hardly "nothing but talk". Fact of the matter is, that a candidate's position on abortion is a litmus test of sorts for many Americans on both sides of the aisle.
For Obama to state that he sees and understands the moral and ethical implications inherent in the issue, yet somehow be unable to come up with a single situation wherein he'd unequivocally permit the fetus to live, even after birth, is very problematic.
@Miller,

May I humbly request you to belittle a candidate by exposing his weakness in other field?
Why the hell Abortion is the main subject to attck the person who wish to CHANGE the AMERICAN DREAMS which are not yet fulfilled?
