Obama is right - BAIPA strikes at choice!

Jill Stanek addresses Obama's Born Alive facts.

I think Obama is right - as far as his conclusions are concerned. The Born Alive Infant Protection Act does strike at a woman's choice because it removes an available abortion technique.

During the Partial Birth Abortion Ban SCOTUS hearings Planned Parenthood's own attorney argued that later term D&E techniques pose a substantial risk to women, and that delivery of the fetus would mitigate that risk.

What Obama was defending was using birth as an abortion technique. That really was his focus - without a thought about the cruelty inflicted both on the premature person being born, or the role of birth in our society.

He, as well as other pro-choice advocates can play semantic games all they want. They still can't get away from the fact:

Using birth as a means of abortion is abhorrent.
