Obama: Born-Alive Infant Protection Act
After Rick Warren’s Saddleback Presidential Forum, Barack Obama was interview by a reporter where Obama accused the National Right to Life Committee (NRLC) of lying about a claim that he did not support legislation that would give babies who survive an abortion the right-to-life. So who’s telling the truth, Obama or the NRLC?
The Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission’s Richard Land sorts it out on his radio program, Richard Land Live! In the program, Land reports that even though “Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) has claimed since 2004 that he would have supported the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act in the Illinois state Senate if the [proposed legislation] tracked the federally-enacted bill with clarity in its protection of Roe v. Wade” . . . “his claims are false” - says Land.
Richard Land and a host of others, including NRLC, have verified that Obama did indeed deny such infants born alive the right-to-life, and it is Obama who has lied - not the NRLC. You can download the report here.
