BIG LIE!
Obama didn't vote FOR infanticide.
He voted against the "Born Alive" bill in IL because a similar law was already on the books from the early '70's requiring a doctor to administer medical care to an infant born alive during an abortion.
He opposed it because it was an attempt to give "personhood" status to the infant beyond what the current law already said and didn't distinguish between a viable or non-viable born alive infant.
According to Politifact (and Factcheck bears this out also):
We researched Obamas position on "born alive" legislation extensively during the presidential campaign. Obama favors abortion rights generally, and he opposed the state version of Illinois "born alive" measure as a state senator. But he never said that premature children, The federal legislation (the law Santorum sponsored in the Senate) became law in 2002. The federal legislation included a so-called "neutrality clause," which said the law would not change the legal status or legal rights of anyone prior to being "born alive." Abortion rights advocates said the clause was necessary to make sure the bill would not affect current abortion laws.
Obama said as far back as 2004 that he would have supported the federal bill and that he would have supported the Illinois versions if they had included a similar neutrality clause. The laws the full Illinois Senate voted on in 2001 and 2002 did not have such a clause, but 2003 is a different story even those who survived an abortion, could be killed.
...Obama never said that "any child prior to nine months of gestation would be able to be killed" or that "any child born prematurely can be killed," as Santorum said.
...
Our ruling
To reiterate whats not in dispute: Obama opposed "born alive" legislation in Illinois and gave several reasons for opposing the proposals. But at no time did he make the argument that infants who survived botched abortions should be killed.
Do the libs have an infanticide exception clause in their abortion platform?
dude you look desperate.

Every link is an interpretation of his votes. His votes are on record in the Illinois legislative files.
Sorry. No one can spin their way out of it.
He's also on voice record.
No spin zone.
I just heard Chris Matthews say a new poll has Obama leading Romney among women by 28 points. It should be much higher.

Link?
Per the poll, Obama has a 22-point lead (52%-30%) on caring about average people, as well as a 28-point advantage (52%-24%) on issues concerning women. These are what we call our “gut check” questions, and Romney is trailing here — and trailing badly.
