Audio from 2002 of Obama Defending Opposition to the Born-Alive Bill

Here is an audio recording of Barack Obama on the floor of the Illinois State Senate in 2002.

I suspect that doctors feel that they would be under that obligation, that they would already be making these determinations, and that essentially adding 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.

Here's more of Obama's speech on the senate floor:

It looks like abortion wasn't above Obama's pay grade back in 2002. He had full faith and trust that an abortionist would make an accurate decision as to whether the child he failed to kill was "viable". That's to say nothing of Obama's blithe disregard for the little girls who could not survive outside the womb born-alive non-viable fetuses who gasped for air during the few hours they lived after birth.
