FOCA: Freedom To Kill Act

The signs were clear. While serving as an Illinois state senator, Barack Obama voted four times against the Born Alive Infant Protection Act, an Illinois bill to protect babies who survive abortions. The Democratic Party platform (under his leadership) dropped the words meant to show moderation on abortion — “safe, legal and rare” — and added “unequivocally” to its support of abortion. Mr. Obama criticized the Supreme Court for upholding the ban on partial-birth abortion. No more extreme candidate has run, much less won, the presidency. And he did it by claiming he wants to “reduce the number of abortions.”
