Obama on Life and Crime

Barack Obama has been the media's cause célèbre lately because he's the biggest liberal with what they perceive to be the best shot of winning the presidential election in 2008.

This post focuses on Obama's pitiful record on abortion, capital punishment and punishing sex offenders.

Abortion:

Barack Obama is actually against the " Born Alive Infant Protection Act" (having failed to support it on four occasions) which states, in part:

... the term ''born alive'', with respect to a member of the species homo sapiens, means the complete expulsion or extraction from his or her mother of that member, at any stage of development, who after such expulsion or extraction breathes or has a beating heart, pulsation of the umbilical cord, or definite movement of voluntary muscles, regardless of whether the umbilical cord has been cut, and regardless of whether the expulsion or extraction occurs as a result of natural or induced labor, cesarean section, or induced abortion.

In other words, not only does Barack Hussein Obama believe that an unborn child is not a living thing, he believes that until you cut the umbilical cord that thing that just came out of that woman has absolutely no rights - including a right to life. This law passed the U.S. Senate 98-0 (before Obama was a senator).

Death Penalty:

Being the hypocritical liberal that Obama is, he protects the life of murderous gang members more than those of newly-born infants. He voted against that " Severo Anti-Gang Amendments of 2001" in the IL State House. The bill sought to qualify gang members that murdered first responders for the death penalty (Obama was one of only nine to vote against the bill).

Punishing Sexual Predators:

No other group of criminals have proven themselves to be more vial and un-reformable as sexual predators. It stands to reason that the representatives of the American people have enacted tough laws to not only keep them off of our streets, but to punish them for the heinous things they've done. That's why it's so outrageous that Barack Obama was the only senator in Illinois to vote against SB 485, a bill that sought to deny sexual predators early release for "good behavior".

The summary of SB 485 reads:

Amend the County Jail Good Behavior Allowance Act. Provides that a person in a county jail may not receive a good behavior allowance if he or she is convicted of criminal sexual assault in which the victim was under 18 years of age at the time of the offense and he or she was a family member or if he or she is convicted of criminal sexual abuse or aggravated criminal sexual abuse. Effective immediately.

No wonder Obama supports abortions-in-the-case-of

-incest-and-rape*, he has to fix the damage from when he votes against the laws that prevent incest and rape.

*(you'll only hear a liberal say the word "abortion" if "in-the-case-of-incest-and-rape" is attached. Otherwise they use the term "choice," usually connected to the word "right.")
