After the info about Obama not even supporting the Unborn Survivors Act came out, he went on the offensive (& that is truly what his actions were, offensive) calling what Gianna Jesson, an abortion survivor, said a dispicable lie. The irony is FactCheck.org said his ad was misleading. (They claimed her's was also, but if it was, how come the law that supposedly exists hasn't been enforced? Any doubts, just ask Jill Stanek.)
Gianna Jessen: Mr. Obama is clearly blinded by political ambition given his attack on me this week. All I asked of him was to do the right thing: support medical care and protection for babies who survive abortion as I did 31 years ago. He voted against such protection and care four times even though the U.S. Senate voted 98-0 in favor of a bill identical to the one Obama opposed. In the words of his own false and misleading ad, his position is downright vile. Mr. Obama said at the recent Saddleback Forum that the question of when babies should get human rights was above his pay grade. Such vacillation and cowardice in public policy almost left me to die and no one should have to go through what I went through.
BornAliveTruth.org Exec. Dir. Jill Stanek: "It is despicable, repulsive and beneath contempt that Barack Obama would attack Gianna Jessen. She is a courageous abortion survivor and living miracle who would not be with us today if Obama's policies had been in place when she was born. Mr. Obama continues to mislead the American people on this issue, he voted four times against medical care and protection for babies who survive abortions in the Illinois State Senate, while the U.S. Senate was voting 98-0 to pass an identical bill. Mr. Obama needs to come forward and tell the American people that he understands people like Gianna Jessen, and that he will support and enforce Born Alive Infant protections -- that these are living, breathing human beings who have come into our world and deserve protection in the law and should receive medical care at health care facilities. These babies have the same rights as the rest of us."

For more, including how Planned Parenthood got caught admitting to live births, check out my blog.
And for those who would excuse Planned Parenthood, saying, "Well, those are 22-week babies at the oldest. They couldn't survive even if you did provide them with medical care," I looked at how accurate ultrasounds are -- how far off the doctors might be when they say these babies are 22 weeks.
It turns out that it's just as likely that a "22 week" baby, with a less than 10% chance of survival, is actually a 24 week baby, with a 40-70% chance of survival.
Unless, of course, you wrap them in a towel and stick them in a closet, in which case they have a 0% chance of survival.
