So it would seem a disgruntled employee was fired and taking shots back?

**********

If what she saw was so horrific, why not call the authorities. By her own testimony she held one of the dying botched abortions in her arms for 45 minutes.

"One night, a nursing co-worker was taking an aborted Down's Syndrome baby who was born alive to our Soiled Utility Room because his parents did not want to hold him, and she did not have time to hold him. I could not bear the thought of this suffering child dying alone in a Soiled Utility Room, so I cradled and rocked him for the 45 minutes that he lived. He was 21 to 22 weeks old, weighed about ½ pound, and was about 10 inches long."

Why not call the police and show them what was going on. Why not call anyone. Maybe because she had an agenda.

"Abortion is a cancer that is literally killing America. It is killing our children while it is killing our consciences. It began when we took God out of our decision-making and proclaimed that the little beings growing inside of women were "products of conception" and not little girls and little boys."

Color me skeptical that any of it happened.

I think, and Jodi correct me if I'm wrong, that we both feel the comfort and dignity of the child, and the child's family, is what's at issue here, in that order. I wouldn't treat my neighbors cat that way, and I hate cats.

Was there truly a national investigation over something that never happened?

While at college I was a pharmacy tech at our local hospital and this is not something they would ever had allowed. As I said, I think if this did happen , people should have been fired. But I also know this was championed by the anti choice people. As far as Obama supporting it and others didn't, like the war in Iraq he stood for his beliefs that this law was to far reaching, even though it was not popular.

Can you imagine being a senator that voted against this. It like that old question "Have you stopped beating your wife?" 

I am anti abortion,  but I do not think I should make this choice for others.

Obama wisely (not politically wisely, but wisely in the human being sense) realized that the bill was a trap set by abortion foes - it gave them the wedge they needed to advance their cause.

The other Senators went along with it because they had to - they were concerned about this sort of thing - that agents like that nurse would smear their name as people who supported baby killing (even if it didn't even happen, or she herself was to blame)  - but Obama, a professor of Constitutional law, knew that this was a stunt being used to play to emotions and advance a cause, not save a life.

Anyone who feels any anger or disgust that the baby in the closet died?  Blame that nurse.  Why didn't she do anything to keep it alive?  She manipulated the death of a baby to move her cause forward.  I can think of nothing so vile.

This doesn't happen.  Doctors aren't thowing babies in closets to die.  That does not happen.  And if and when it does, the police should be notified and the doctor's licence to practice medicine should be removed. Anything else is like saying we need to cancel welfare because someone saw someone buying booze with food stamps.  If a person breaks the law, you get them for it, you don't enact oppressive laws that effect the people who obey the law.

Well What did you all think?

Now that the debate is over...

Obama wisely (not politically wisely, but wisely in the human being sense) realized that the bill was a trap set by abortion foes - it gave them the wedge they needed to advance their cause.

Mike, so Obama was the only wise one in the entire Senate?
