Obama Contradicts 1975 LAw

The Obama campaign and Obama himself in his book insisted the Born Alive infant Protection Act was unnecessary since a 1975 Law already protected infants, but did it, not really, they law did not protect the ones dying at Christ's Hospital. Even if this law did its obvious Obama argued AGAINST the 1975 law:

"adding a -- an additional doctor who then has to be called in an emergency situation to come in and make these assessments is really designed simply to burden the original decision of the woman and the physician to induce labor and perform an abortion."-Barack Obama, Illinois Senate, April 4, 2002, on the Born Alive Infant Protection Act, page 33Obama on the Born Alive Infant Protection Act http://www.ilga.gov/senate/transcripts/s trans92/ST040402.pdf


This contradicts the 1975 law the Obama campaign uses to say made the Born Alive Infant Protection Actn was unnecessary since the 1975 law protected infants. Since the 1975 law REQUIRED the additional doctor Obama ARGUED against:

"Any physician who intentionally performs or induces such an abortion and who intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly fails to arrange for the attendance of such a second physician in violation of Section 6(2)(a) commits a Class 3 felony."-Illinois Abortion Act 720 ILCS 510.6 http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/ilcs/documents/072005100K6.htm
