Abortion Survivors.

It's hard to believe that any infant could survive an abortion. They are ripped and pulled from the womb or forced with caustic chemicals. But according to ex-abortion nurses, many do survive, with beating hearts and breathing lungs. These are either killed post-abortion, or are merely left to die, some in cold filth.

The life of Gianna Jesson is a story of one who survived the entire abortion ordeal 31 years ago, and now wishes her story to be known. As a fetus she was subjected to 18 hours of scorching with saline solution, and was aborted. She survived, a "botched abortion", but the scorching led to cereberal palsy. Some babies are injected in the head with saline; some actually survive but with little hope for normal life. At the age of 19, she testified before Congress. Her Congressional tesimony can be found here. Jesson now appeals to Obama to change his stance on medical care for surviving victims of abortion, in other words, living babies.

Jill Stanek was a nurse in the abortion clinic at Christ Hospital, Oak Lawn, IL, where she observed living human babies left to die after having survived abortions. She testified before Congress in 2000 and 2001. She was fired in 2001, ostensibly for her activism. She then "was invited by President George W. Bush for his August 2002 signing of the Born Alive Infants Protection Act, which will protect live aborted children from infanticide. Was also asked to his signing of invitation when he signed the Partial Birth Abortion Ban in November 2003, which protects partially delivered babies from being killed by abortion."

These two have combined forces into the BornAliveTruth brigade. Preparing a commercial that is critical of Obama's vote against the provision of health care to abortion survivors, they played the commercial in New Mexico and Ohio. Obama's response was quick: the ads source is a "sleazy, despicable liar". But not actually denied.

According to the Wall Street Journal,

"The Obama campaign rejects the premise of the BornAliveTruth.org ad, pointing out that Sen. Obama has said that had he been a U.S. senator at the time, he would have voted for the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act. The federal law, enacted in 2002, requires a fetus that survives a botched abortion to be considered a person. Sen. Obama opposed a similar law while in the Illinois state senate partly because he said the state already had a law on the books that would have required doctors to provide medical care in circumstances of failed abortions."

Obama's final lie - there is no such Born Alive protection on the books - is allowed to stand with no analysis or critique by the WSJ. However, Obama's ad Hominem, ""sleazy, despicable liar", is sloshing into a box canyon in the new media (blogs) and the return wave will possibly swamp him.
