Obama's support for semi-infanticide

While recurrent polls indicate that a majority of Americans still support Roe v. Wade, they also report that a large majority of the American people oppose that semi-infanticide called "partial-birth abortion."

Life News.com reports a 2004 letter written by Mrs. Barack Obama during her husband's campaign for election to the U.S. Senate.

This letter contends the federal ban on partial-birth abortions "is clearly unconstitutional" and "a flawed law."

"The fact remains, with no provision to protect the health of the mother, this ban on a legitimate medical procedure is clearly unconstitutional and must be overturned," Michelle Obama writes in the letter.

The Supreme Court later sided with Bush and Congress in saying the ban is legitimate.

In candidate Obama's hometown of Chicago, my fellow talk-radio host Sandy Rios, in a commentary headlined "Why I'm afraid of a President Barack Obama," notes, among other things, the following:

"He boasts a 100 percent voting record in opposing pre-born human life. The enthusiastic endorsement of NARAL's Pro-Choice America gives a glimpse at his certainty. Barack Obama has given us little reason to believe that he has opposed abortion, at any time, for any reason."
"He was appalled that the Supreme Court in Carhart vs. Gonzales upheld a ban on partial-birth abortion (that last trimester method that pulls a baby from the womb, feet first, inserts scissors in the head, sucks out the brains and crushes the skull before removing its murdered body). He was outraged that a woman's 'right to choose' had been impeded."
"He is against parental consent and notification laws and favors what can only be called infanticide – continually opposing legislation that would require medical treatment and food for children born alive with disabilities after a failed abortion. I fear more brutality on the unborn and more erosion of the value of human life."

Talk show host Rios also declared:

"If Barack Obama is elected president of the United States, I fear our enemies will smell the blood of weakness and rise in retaliation here and abroad. While Obama makes sweeping promises to end the war in Iraq, he never projects the consequences. Radical Islam is waging a holy war against us – and they have no intent on ending their war against the West. Withdrawal will be perceived as surrender, and the election of a president sympathetic to their cause will embolden them like nothing else. Iraq will recede into bloody, sectarian retaliatory violence."
"I fear the loss of free speech. I am concerned talk radio and independent news sources will be regulated to the point that they are effectively silenced. I fear more cases like that of Crystal Dixon, associate vice president for human resources at Toledo University, who was recently fired for writing a column as a private citizen, making the case as an African-American that homosexuality cannot be equated to race in a civil rights debate."
"I fear the loss of our national identity thru the flood of more illegal immigration already championed by Obama, draining our resources and creating further burden on the educational and health care systems."

Note, ladies and gentlemen, that this comes from Chicago, where Barack Obama is a resident and is well-known, and was elected to both the Illinois State legislature and the U.S. Senate.
