Abortions Do Sometimes Produce Live Births

by Mona Charen

Appearing on C-SPAN last weekend I mentioned that Barack Obama had opposed the Born Alive Infants Protection Act when he was an Illinois state senator — a position he has attempted to deny or obfuscate ever since. The liberal blogger who appeared on the program with me erupted with indignation. She didn't deny that Obama had opposed the bill. She denied, hotly, that babies are ever born alive after an attempted abortion. Since I have actually met Gianna Jessen, who survived an attempted ...

does a woman who has as undergone a failed abortion which produced a live birth now have the right to refuse "exta-ordinary medical care" for this baby? the woman is now a mother that can still refuse treatment for an infant? how do you legislate for that?

Thank you for your article. I read a similar article by Pat Buchanan regarding Barack Obama's record on the partial birth abortion ban. I am hopeful your article will help fuel the need to stop the Obama's. Yes, we do need a good economy, financial stability, and peace, but we also need to allow our children to be born and live. They are our future and how many future leaders have we aborted since the passing of Roe vs. Wade. Sadly, many people will ignore these facts, and go to a short-term solution based on rhetoric. Thank you for bringing these facts to light. Hopefully more people will listen and vote with a pro-life conscious - all else will fall into place.

Dear Mona, I live in a very rural community in Kentucky. The town I live in only has about 600 people in it. I am a dedicated Christian and was very shocked to say the least about reading about abortions sometimes having live births. I have been and always will be against abortion, but had no idea that this was even happening. I am located exactly in between Lexington, Kentucky and Cincinnati, Ohio. Cincinnati is travel wise more convenient for us. When I read what was going on I just couldn't believe it. I am going to contact the editor of our small county newspaper and see if she will run the article that you had on "Abortions Do Sometimes Produce Live Birth's". I doubt if she will run it, because it will probably be to graphic for her sensibilities, but hey some how the word needs to get out there about what is going on. If you need the name of our county paper it is "The Falmouth Outlook". By the way the information about your column was passed on by a dear Christian friend who tries to keep us all informed about the happenings in our world. Keep up the excellent work. Have a good day and God bless.
