That is not a secret. The Obamedia, of course, refused to cover it while they were running down Sarah Palins third-grade report card. The clueless John McCain failed to bring any attention to it. But it was far from unknown. I wrote about it in August 2008, and I was far from alone at least among conservatives. My column was called, Why Obama Really Voted For Infanticide: More important to protect abortion doctors than that fetus, or child however way you want to describe it:
There wasnt any question about what was happening. The abortions were going wrong. The babies werent cooperating. They wouldnt die as planned. Or, as Illinois state senator Barack Obama so touchingly put it, there was movement or some indication that, in fact, theyre not just coming out limp and dead.
No, Senator. They wouldnt go along with the program. They wouldnt just come out limp and dead.
They were coming out alive. Born alive. Babies. Vulnerable human beings Obama, in his detached pomposity, might otherwise include among the least of my brothers. But of course, an abortion extremist cant very well be invoking Saint Matthew, can he? So, for Obama, the shunning of these least of our brothers and sisters millions of them is somehow not among Americas greatest moral failings.
No. In Obamas hardball, hard-Left world, these least become that fetus, or child however you want to describe it.
Most of us, of course, opt for child, particularly when the it is born and living and breathing and in need of our help. Particularly when the it is clinging not to guns or religion but to life.
