Do you agree or disagree? Does this conflict with the Democrats' frequently stated concern for "the children?"

The article itself described testimony that some infants do indeed survive an abortion.

How could ANY civilized human being agree with that stance?

As time goes on we will learn more about all of the new batch of candidates running for President than most of us care to know. For me, this was a very telling vote, and I absolutely disagree with him. As for the Democrats concern for "the children", I sometimes wonder, but am not prepared to say that all Democrats lean the same way on children's issues or on issues of life. I have concern for very liberal judges that are not putting offenders away for ever, but that's a different topic for a different day.

As his Marxist schedule is being uncovered further and further on a daily basis, maximum clever everyone seems to be turning remote from him. His approval score is under 40% now.

He of course does not desire to communicate or have a bipartisan dialogue approximately his regulations, so all that's left is to close down any dissent. all of us understand that maximum of people who oppose Obama's schedule are no longer racists, even though it might desire to be that all and sundry who help him are. the two that or they simply hate this u . s . a .. We do understand that Obama himself is a racist and that he attended a racist church for 20 years. and truthfully he's greater desirable than tripled the deficit. His plan is to improve the deficit via 10 situations and if no longer stopped he would be effective in this destruction of our as quickly as large u . s . a ..

I can't take it out of context, I will have to look at it more. But rights of choice are women's rights, so it is a woman's issue. I wonder if Ilinois has a 'first trimester' rule on abortion like Michigan does? If so, there is no point of that legislation since those are not viable fetuses. It would be making a law for the sake of making a law, and as a conservative, i believe in less law, not more.

This kind of callus indifference to human life is a tragedy and no person should be allowed to wittiness those acts and not be held accountable .
I am not in the health field but I can tel you this .Anyone who watched as a child was delivered and did nothing to save its life is contributing to the death of a person . That nurse should of stepped in grabbed the child and taken it to recieve care . That she failed to do so only shows that saving her job was more important then saving a life .
Some times doing the right thing involves breaking all the rules .As far as Obama goes he is a (mother ******* ******* who should rot in hell )along with all those who voted down this law and those who participate willingly in the process .If there was A God and at times I do wish for One then they would certainly suffer for their actions .

Abortion issue is right down my list of priority of importance when I go to vote. There are more important issues for America to consider in times of war.
Those who go around saving embryos should be held financially and personally responsible for taking care of the embryos... and not pooled out of the taxes collected from all American citizens.

I agree with the answer slightly above me. Infants do not survive abortion. So, that Bill is basically irrelevant.

No I don't agree with him, he just speaks well. He is a liberal and as such, a elitist moron. Liberals have a very narrow focus. Its like looking though a rolled up paper, so you don't see the entire picture. Conservatives look beyond the edge to see the many aspects to the picture.

I agree with Obama (and thats a first for me) on that because the bill is stupid.
Infants NEVER survive abortions, because of the way that they are done.
If you have a strong enough stomach, research that.
In addition, if an infant CAN survive removal from the womb, then its an illegal late-term abortion, because legal abortion is required to be before the point of viability.
Viability is the point in time that a fetus could survive outside the womb (and that point changes with medical technology increases).

I don't agree with abortion in any form.
I don't feel a child's life should end because of the sins of its parents.
