Had Barrack Obama ever written or been recorded as saying he wants to throw live babies into the garbage? I ask, because I strongly suspect the answer is no.

He is on record fillabustering the bill that would have made it a felony offense in the state of Illinois and pulling other shannigans to prevent it from being put up for a vote.
I understand your skepticism on this Kraichgauer, I was about the only person in my family that wasn't under the impression that Sean Hannity had lost it, concerning all the stuff he dug up about Obama. I had done some digging of my own, since I'm well aware of how people on the spectrum have a hard time telling when someone is lieing to them, so I actually had dug up stuff on my own which backed up what Sean Hannity said. I also knew from reading one of Sean Hannity's books, that he is a pretty meticulous researcher.
Fact of the matter is that my family ended up with the more scary scenario that Sean hadn't lost his mind, and Obama really did have all those skeletons in the closet.
Actual Text of Bill 1:
SB1095 Engrossed LRB9206290REdv
1 AN ACT concerning infants who are born alive.
2 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3 represented in the General Assembly:
4 Section 5. The Statute on Statutes is amended by adding
5 Section 1.36 as follows:
6 (5 ILCS 70/1.36 new)
7 Sec. 1.36. Born-alive infant.
8 (a) In determining the meaning of any statute or of any
9 rule, regulation, or interpretation of the various
10 administrative agencies of this State, the words "person",
11 "human being", "child", and "individual" include every infant
12 member of the species homo sapiens who is born alive at any
13 stage of development.
14 (b) As used in this Section, the term "born alive", with
15 respect to a member of the species homo sapiens, means the
16 complete expulsion or extraction from its mother of that
17 member, at any stage of development, who after that expulsion
18 or extraction breathes or has a beating heart, pulsation of
19 the umbilical cord, or definite movement of voluntary
20 muscles, regardless of whether the umbilical cord has been
21 cut and regardless of whether the expulsion or extraction
22 occurs as a result of natural or induced labor, cesarean

You may think this source is biased, but that doesn't change the fact what they are saying is accurate and can actually back it up with sources.

He also voted against the third bill in 2003, after amending to change some small bit of wording... He lied about what was in the bill during the Presidential Election until he finally was forced to admit he lied.
But whether or not one accepts those arguments, it is not the reason Obama had been giving for his 2003 opposition. He told Brody that the federal bill "was not the bill that was presented at the state level." That's technically true; though the "neutrality clause" was identical in the federal and state bills, there were other minor wording differences elsewhere. But the Obama campaign statement says that "Illinois And Federal Born Alive Infant Protection Acts Did Not Include Exactly The Same Language." That's true for the earlier versions that Obama voted against. In the case of SB 1082, as it was amended just before being killed, it’s false.

Standard drive-by right-wing nutjob media smears
http://mediamatters.org/research/2009/0 ... bor/150407
Quote:
her May 20 column, Ann Coulter asserted that "[a]s an Illinois state senator in 2002-2003, [President] Obama repeatedly blocked and voted against the 'Born Alive Act,' which would have allowed doctors to give medical care to babies who somehow survived abortions and remained alive, wholly apart from their mothers." However, the suggestion that at the time Illinois law did not already "allow doctors to give medical care to babies who somehow survived abortions" without the "Born Alive Act" is false. In fact, as Media Matters for America has repeatedly noted, Obama and other opponents said the bill posed a threat to abortion rights and was unnecessary because, they said, Illinois law already required doctors to provide medical care for "babies who somehow survived abortions."
As Media Matters noted, when tasked by the Illinois attorney general's office with investigating allegations that fetuses born alive at an Illinois hospital were abandoned without treatment -- the alleged incident that inspired the "Born Alive Act" -- the Illinois Department of Public Health reportedly said that it was unable to substantiate the allegations but said that if the allegations had proved true, the conduct alleged would have been a violation of then-existing Illinois law. Obama himself has cited specific provisions of the Illinois Compiled Statutes in stating that the "born alive principle was already the law in Illinois."
Coulter, nationally syndicated radio host Rush Limbaugh, Fox News host Sean Hannity, and several other conservative commentators have previously claimed that Obama's votes against this legislation mean that, in Limbaugh's words, Obama "believes it is proper to kill a baby that has survived an abortion."

Praise God for Media Matters!
So you're saying that the actual text of the bills from the State of Illinois's own government website has less credibility than mediamatters? Do you really think anyone here is stupid enough to believe mediamatters when Factcheck.org and the Government of Illinois own transcripts concerning the bills in question contradict mediamatters?

I said no such thing.

Yes, because the right enjoys watching clowns at work.
No because if you, being a liberal, don't like it then it must be good.

So, by your reasoning, as liberals would hate having the atmosphere ripped away from the earth, leaving us all to die in the cold, airless void of space, that makes it a good thing?
