Obama the Baby Killer

Hillary goes after Obama because he's not pro-choice enough. Liberal Democrats fighting over who can be the most brutal to the innocent unborn. Newsweek:

It may not be easy to tell now, but Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have a lot in common. One example: they're both strongly pro-choice. Planned Parenthood and the National Abortion Rights Action League have awarded each of them perfect 100 percent scores for opposing abortion restrictions. So Democrats in New Hampshire might have been a bit surprised when Clinton began criticizing Obama for not being pro-choice enough. "A woman's right to choose demands a leader who will stand up and protect it," read a mailing sent out to Democrats in the state on the eve of last week's primary.

Without giving details, the flier knocked Obama for votes he cast years ago on several anti-abortion bills when he was an Illinois state senator. Along with a block of other Democrats, Obama had voted "present" instead of "no"—a maneuver intended to rob Republicans of fodder to use against them in campaign attack ads. (A vote of present essentially counted as a no, since a bill needed a majority of affirmative votes to pass.) The anti-abortion measures failed.
But we will give you the details. Obama is the most pro-abortion candidate ever. Townhall:

Barack Obama is the most pro-abortion presidential candidate ever.

He is so pro-abortion he refused as an Illinois state senator to support legislation to protect babies who survived late-term abortions because he did not want to concede -- as he explained in a cold-blooded speech on the Illinois Senate floor -- that these babies, fully outside their mothers' wombs, with their hearts beating and lungs heaving, were in fact "persons."

HT Illinois Review.

P.S. The subtext of Hillary's attack is that Obama is all talk, no action. We would add that he's all heart...except when he's heartless.
