Neb. mom carried non-viable pregnancy due to law | The Associated Press | Nation | San Francisco Examiner
Danielle Deaver was about 22 weeks into her pregnancy when doctors told her she wouldn't be able to carry to term and her child would die soon after birth. Then to her surprise, she learned doctors couldn't end her non-viable pregnancy because of a new Nebraska law barring late-term abortions.
so instead of being able to painlessly end her pregnancy (that she and her doctor wanted, but couldn't) she had to wait around to birth the baby knowing that it was going to die.
another "win" for the fascist social conservatives who want to rule and ruin everyone elses lives
If I correctly understand you position as one of shock and revulsion about the death of this fetus, and the mother being forced to endure watching same, and the horror you experience when you consider the 'fascist social conservatives,' I'm sure you were even more chagrined at the possibility that some elected official, somewhere, might endorse the slow and pitiable death of an 'aborted' fetus that remained alive, and was then allowed to die.
Right? Surely you'll be consistent here, won't you?
"In 2002, as an Illinois legislator,
Obama voted against the Induced Infant Liability Act, which would have protected babies that survived late-term abortions. That same year a similar federal law, the Born Alive Infant Protection Act, was signed by President Bush. Only 15 members of the U.S. House opposed it, and it passed the Senate unanimously on a voice vote.
Both the Illinois and the federal bill sought equal treatment for
babies who survived premature inducement for the purpose of abortion and wanted babies who were born prematurely and given live-saving medical attention.
But
Obama voted against this bill in the Illinois senate and killed it in committee. Twice, the Induced Infant Liability Act came up in the Judiciary Committee on which he served. At its
first reading he voted “present.” At the second he voted “no.”
The bill was then referred to the senateÂ’s Health and Human Services Committee, which Obama chaired after the Illinois Senate went Democratic in 2003.
As chairman, he never called the bill up for a vote."Obama More Pro-Choice Than NARAL - HUMAN EVENTS
