NRLC: " Obama Cover-up On Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Bill"

National Right To Life Committee investigates Obama's defense of his vote against the Illinois version of the Born Alive Infant Protection Act:

"Newly obtained documents prove that in 2003, Barack Obama, as chairman of an Illinois state Senate committee, voted down a bill to protect live-born survivors of abortion -- even after the panel had amended the bill to contain verbatim language, copied from a federal bill passed by Congress without objection in 2002, explicitly foreclosing any impact on abortion. Obama's legislative actions in 2003 -- denying effective protection even to babies born alive during abortions -- were contrary to the position taken on the same language by even the most liberal members of Congress. The bill Obama killed was virtually identical to the federal bill that even NARAL ultimately did not oppose."

Thanks to the NRLC for doing their homework and acquiring the "smoking gun" documents.
