So said Sen. Barack Obama, accusing the National Right To Life Committee of lying about his vote against the Born Alive Infant Protection Act in Illinois. He was the ONLY person in the Illinois state senate not to support it (in classic Obama fashion, he courageously voted "present.").  Sen. Obama says that the state bill he opposed was different from the federal bill because it didn't include a "neutrality clause" re: Roe v. Wade.  That's what Sen. Obama says, and anyone who says differently, well,  "these folks are lying."

Sen. Obama is right about one thing. Somebody IS lying:

Sen. Obama is currently misleading people about what he voted against, specifically claiming that the bill he voted against in his committee lacked “neutrality” language on Roe v. Wade. The bill did contain this language. He even participated in the unanimous vote to put it in...

[I]n 2003, in the health committee which he chaired, Obama voted against a version of the bill that contained the specific “neutrality” language — redundant language affirming that the bill only applied to infants already born and granted no rights to the unborn.

So again: after the above amendment was added to change the original bill making it identical to the federal Born-Alive Infants Protection Act, Obama and five other Democrats voted to kill it.

 

I realize that 90% of all MSM reporters are pro-abortion, but does that mean they shouldn't do their job?  Despite Obama's cowardly cop-out that the abortion issue is "above my pay grade," America--and every other modern Western society--have laws governing this controversial medical procedure.  Sen. Obama has the most radical position on abortion of any candidate in American history, and he has a voting record to prove it.  Now he's shamelessly lying about his voting record and the MSM is letting him get away with it.  This morning, CNN played the video of Sen. Obama's denial in its entirety, and didn't challenge a single word. 

 

That's not reporting--that's just pathetic.

 

UPDATE: This video from the Saddleback event tells voters everything they need to know about Obama vs. McCain on abortion and, more importantly, leadership.
