Video: Born-alive survivor scolds Obama on vote protecting infanticide

A new pro-life group comes out swinging today, and it chose a powerful spokeswoman for their cause. Gianna Jesson survived a saline abortion 31 years ago, and has fought to stop the barbaric practice of leaving such living infants to die by abortionists unwilling to face the failure of their procedure. Jesson testified in 2001-2 to get Congress to pass the Born Alive Infant Protection Act, and now she joins Born Alive Truth to point the finger at the only current member of the Senate to have voted against such a bill:
In this powerful ad sponsored by BornAliveTruth.org, abortion survivor Gianna Jesson questions Barack Obama for his active opposition as state senator to IL’s Born Alive Infants Protection Act.
Born Alive was introduced to stop IL hospitals from leaving babies who survived their abortions in soiled utility rooms to die. …
Born Alive passed on the federal level overwhelmingly. The abortion group NARAL even expressed neutrality on the bill, which passed unanimously in the U.S. Senate 98-0.
Barack Obama is such an abortion extremist, he has positioned himself to the left of the entire U.S. Senate and NARAL.
If it were up to Obama, Gianna would not be here today.
We have covered Obama’s track record on infanticide in several posts:
- Infanticide, revisited
- Yes, we can … elect a guy who votes for infanticide
- There are a lot of things above Obama’s “pay grade”
- Team Obama acknowledges infanticide lie
- Obama camp: He only voted against that born-alive abortion bill because it might actually have an effect
- Obama’s support for infanticide breaks into mainstream media
- Obama: Bill unnecessarily burdened doctors with … babies; Update: AOL Hot Seat poll added
- McCarthy: Obama’s moral failing on infanticide
Make no mistake about this. Obama voted four times to protect this barbaric practice, even after hearing direct testimony from a witness about how babies were left to die from neglect after surviving their abortion. Obama worried more about the burden on the abortionists than he did about the child.
Gianna Jesson shows how heartless and cold those four votes were, and is a living reminder of the countless children that Obama failed to protect — and who aren’t around to make this commercial because of Obama’s success in killing the Illinois bill that would have saved their lives.
Update: Jesson appeared on Hannity & Colmes last night:

This election should be about issues – like how McCain doesn’t know how to use E-mail.

Mccain needs to incorporate this ad in a national ad paid for by mccain/palin.Somebody with more clout than me get this done.THATS AN ORDER PRIVATE!!!!

Abortion now, abortion tomorrow, abortion forever.
Loxodonta on September 16, 2008 at 8:53 AM
How do you know people here don’t? Sheesh, Dave, you’re stretching with this one. I’ve been pro-life since I first understood what abortion was, and I have long put my money where my mouth is. Just because you don’t know that and don’t know me doesn’t mean I haven’t acted.
I teach in a public high school and I deal with this often. Often. I’ve put my career on the line more than once to counsel, guide, and help a pregnant student, so don’t give me your self-righteous bombast.
Just go away. You’re beneath contempt.

God has a special place in His “heart” for widows and orphans. How much more orphaned can a baby be than to be left to die on a cold stainless steel table?
davidk on September 16, 2008 at 9:01 AM
So much for eating breakfast this morning… what a horrible way for such a young innocent to die. I’m glad this woman survived to tell her story, and more people need to hear it, even if it takes away their appetite too.
Anna on September 16, 2008 at 9:02 AM
I said mid 2d trimester, in teh end my objection is tied to viability not some magic benchmark week. When I was born we lost a portion of seven month preemies. Medicene is rapidly reaching the point we will be able to create an artificial womb if need be.
If the baby can survive sans the mother the baby should live.

What was pitiful about the interview, was Colmes searching, grasping for some thread of liberal hope…it was just pitiful.

Yes, she blew Colmes away…liberals have a big problem with the truth and reality….

But to the liberals she is just…
Another happy, confident, Christianist.
maynila on September 16, 2008 at 9:28 AM
the contrast between Obama and Sarah Palin on every issue, but especially this issue is night and day. This lady should campaign with Sarah Palin some, force media to cover it.
jp on September 16, 2008 at 9:28 AM
Abortion is sin. Abandoning or killing a baby after a failed abortion is sin. Rationalizing it is also sin.
The madness of Colmes and other pro-choice liberals is all to clear to many who post here. We think, “How could they succumb to such madness”? Conservatives are no less capable of similar madness. We must be cautious to think that we are not.
shick on September 16, 2008 at 9:29 AM

Abortion should be a state by state issue. Let us hope that Roe v. Wade is overturned someday.
Flint Stone on September 16, 2008 at 9:47 AM
There was already a born alive bill in effect in Illinois and at the federal level when Obama refused to vote against a second born alive bill in Illinois.
jim m on September 16, 2008 at 9:47 AM
Then why did he lie about it?
fossten on September 16, 2008 at 9:54 AM
sven, you never stated mid 2nd tri. And you made my point, you can’t pick a trimester, a day, a week when the baby is viable (and I have no idea what you mean “sans the mother”.
Error on side of life, not on what someone thinks is “viable”.
That is the point I was making, no one knows when a baby is viable…from the biblical point, God knows you in the womb…from the secular, they have no idea.

Shivas Irons on September 16, 2008 at 10:01 AM
But that bill (existing one) had in it the clause of “under doctors discretion”, meaning it had no real purpose, it still left the decision to the “doctor” in charge. And to add to that, it was the “doctor in charge”, which could be an administrator telling the nursing attendant to proceed. Which was the case with Gianna, the doctor in charge left the nurse and she called 911.
right2bright on September 16, 2008 at 10:05 AM
I’m glad this is finally getting some airplay. Obama’s opposition to BAIPA alone should be enough to disqualify him from getting elected…and for that matter from belonging to the human race.
MechEng5by5 on September 16, 2008 at 10:06 AM
That bill has loop-holes (ie doctor’s discretion). The other bill was designed to remedy that.
Now if you had a loophole you didn’t want closed, how would you have voted? Just like Obama.
Spirit of 1776 on September 16, 2008 at 10:06 AM
Uuh, I don’t post at Ace’s much so I have no idea what you’re saying, Shivas.
Here’s a part of the Illinois 1975 Abortion Act (and the date of the federal act preceeds the second Illinois bill):
(720 ILCS 510/6) (from Ch. 38, par. 81‑26)
Sec. 6. (1) (a) Any physician who intentionally performs an abortion when, in his medical judgment based on the particular facts of the case before him, there is a reasonable likelihood of sustained survival of the fetus outside the womb, with or without artificial support, shall utilize that method of abortion which, of those he knows to be available, is in his medical judgment most likely to preserve the life and health of the fetus.
(b) The physician shall certify in writing, on a form prescribed by the Department under Section 10 of this Act, the available methods considered and the reasons for choosing the method employed.
(c) Any physician who intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly violates the provisions of Section 6(1)(a) commits a Class 3 felony.
(2) (a) No abortion shall be performed or induced when the fetus is viable unless there is in attendance a physician other than the physician performing or inducing the abortion who shall take control of and provide immediate medical care for any child born alive as a result of the abortion. This requirement shall not apply when, in the medical judgment of the physician performing or inducing the abortion based on the particular facts of the case before him, there exists a medical emergency; in such a case, the physician shall describe the basis of this judgment on the form prescribed by Section 10 of this Act. Any physician who intentionally performs or induces such an abortion and who intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly fails to arrange for the attendance of such a second physician in violation of Section 6(2)(a) commits a Class 3 felony.
(b) Subsequent to the abortion, if a child is born alive, the physician required by Section 6(2)(a) to be in attendance shall exercise the same degree of professional skill, care and diligence to preserve the life and health of the child as would be required of a physician providing immediate medical care to a child born alive in the course of a pregnancy termination which was not an abortion. Any such physician who intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly violates Section 6(2)(b) commits a Class 3 felony.
So the question is why a third law was needed.
jim m on September 16, 2008 at 10:06 AM
Then why did Obama lie about it?
fossten on September 16, 2008 at 10:09 AM

From the FOX interview, Gianna Jesson calls her Cerebral Palsy “a gift.” This is an extraordinary & inspiring woman.

Shivas Irons on September 16, 2008 at 10:17 AM
Read the existing Illinois law and the Federal law (which the new Illinois law was supposed to mimic), Shivas, and explain why the third law was neede.
jim m on September 16, 2008 at 10:18 AM
The Liberal “But” Monkey as expressed by Alana Colmes. You have an extraordinary story, BUT I can never admit I am wrong.
Gianna Jesson is a real sweetie. I enjoyed listening to her and seeing her on H&C. I was touched by her story. No hate, no venom – just here I am and this is what happened to me.

jim m on September 16, 2008 at 10:46 AM
ARGHHH. I probably would have decked Colmes for that one. It doesn’t matter how you try to interpret the law Colmes, Barry voted to kill kids outside the womb who survived an abortion.
Four count them FOUR TIMES.
theguardianii on September 16, 2008 at 10:47 AM
This woman was awesome on Hannity and Colmes last night! You could sense her struggling to make her point through her “gift” of cerebral palsy, and doing an admirable job. Her ad should run in every “swing” state until Barry O publicly explains why she shouldn’t live, and why he shouldn’t be President.
Steve Z on September 16, 2008 at 10:49 AM
My four year old was a “product” of date rape.
There was not a moment that I wasn’t pulled by my revulsion and shame over the act and the knowledge that this 8 week old (when I found out) “fetus” was alive and well and needed me.
He is now a little brainiac, super into geography and the solar system, plays kiddie soccer and loves his adopted daddy and looks just like me.
My prayer had been only, “Lord, if you would have me parent, rather than place for adoption, please give me love which surpasses what happened to me…for my baby.” And, the provision has been undeniable.
But, this goes beyond mere “personal choice.” The fact is, either it begins at conception or not. Science is proving again and again that humanity begins at that point…it is either killing human like or it isn’t. Very stark. Zero wiggle room.
Mommypundit on September 16, 2008 at 10:51 AM
Someone get Ms. Jesson’s mom on camera and ask her if her daughter was a “punishment”.
Dr.Cwac.Cwac on September 16, 2008 at 10:52 AM
Perhaps you’ll re-think your stance on the topic, in that case?
I’m curious. In your opinion, what should be the statute of limitations on an abortion? At what point in the child’s life should a mother not be able to murder him or her?
leetpriest on September 16, 2008 at 10:58 AM
Wow. Since when did County (Parish for ya’ll Louisiana folk), City, State, and Congressional elections cease to exist?
Come on, Dave, surely you can do better than this?
Nah. Probably not. Go back to sucking off dKos editors.
leetpriest on September 16, 2008 at 11:05 AM
I’m curious. In your opinion, what should be the statute of limitations on an abortion? At what point in the child’s life should a mother not be able to murder him or her?
Your point well taken.
My answer would be when a baby would be viable outside the womb. I wonder why Dr’s and Hospitals don’t, or do they, have already arranged relationships between their facilities and adoption agencies for mothers who would prefer to abort/murder while carrying a viable child?
I’m mostly a 51 yr old social mod/lib, with a Berkeley degree, who has had to make serious choices about his vote… and frankly, I’d vote for Bush if he were running again.
Cause on the most important stuff to me, he’s stood strong.
Lovin’ life in San Clemente.

Shivas Irons on September 16, 2008 at 11:35 AM
I used to give Colmes the benefit of the doubt, thinking he simply held his nose and toed the party line, but this is yet another example that proves he really is a POS tool.
PJ Emeritus on September 16, 2008 at 11:36 AM
My mother was a teacher of severely and profoundly handicapped children. A large number of them had cerebral palsy. Obviously, the condition has degrees. Most of the children in her classes were incapable of speech and wore adult diapers. In comparison, Gianna’s condition is not that extreme. But I do know, that even a minor case makes it much harder to function in society.
And the fact that Alan Colmes just got royally schooled by someone with cerebral palsy, is quite amusing to me.
I think she’s an inspiration. She should be on a national McCain ad.
otcconan on September 16, 2008 at 11:36 AM
They ought to play this ad in every battleground state.
Even pro-choice people see this as murder. I’m sure Obama felt all “I’m so brave,” but this will hurt him badly, and it should.
PattyJ on September 16, 2008 at 11:47 AM
No doubt, but we spend decades putting a murderer through trial and the death penalty…decades to prove he is guilty. But moments to kill a baby.
Maybe it would be difficult, maybe near impossible, but don’t we owe the innocent at least the same as the guilty?

Poor Colmes. If he had any balls he would just have said, “You are an inspiration and I have nothing more to say.”
But, he’s an effeminate, knee jerk liberal so….
Metro on September 16, 2008 at 12:47 PM
I saw this piece last night and,to be honest, I started to feel a bit sorry for Alan Colmes…it seems he is often left to defend the indefensible.
There is no answer to this. Ms.Jesson is living proof of what went on, what is going on and what Sen. Obama refused to oppose.
Mr. Colmes tried to turn this into a discussion on infanticide, but Ms. Jesson’s reply was the best because of its simplicity…”What do you call it?”
The real question, unasked and unanswered, was this: Leaving aside that Ms. Jesson survived the abortion, what made it okay to try to kill a viable (obviously super viable) baby at 7.5 months?
Blaise on September 16, 2008 at 1:09 PM
Jesus wept.
I mean literally.
You gotta be kidding me. I’m not exactly naive … but this happens? Babies survive abortions and then are left to die … AND LIBERALS SUPPORT THAT? While they’re marching to save the spotted minnow from extinction?
Seriously?
I ask sincerely: can a liberal please explain this view? I understand, to some degree, how they ignore the possibility of life in the first trimester and bleat on about “reproductive rights.” It’s easy to lie to yourself when its a clump of cells. Hell, maybe they’re even – after all, I don’t know when life begins, either (although unlike them, I figure we ought to err on the side of caution).
But THIS? How do you support this? How is this a “right” for women? How is this “liberal?”
No, really. I realize there’s a simple explanation: that they are evil, amoral, soulless sociopaths.
But I know *they* don’t think that. So what DO they think?
Dear God, I wish I hadn’t read this. I feel like crying for Pete’s sake.
And I’m going to slap the next conservative that tells me McCain’s not worth voting for. If nothing else, he might put justices on the Court that will end this … atrocity. That alone makes him infinitely better than Barack the Baby Killer.
Sorry. I’m just stunned. I’m not even very fervent on this issue … but Jesus. C’mon. This is horrible. This is evil.
Professor Blather on September 16, 2008 at 1:12 PM
Wait. I just had an even more disturbing thought:
HOW DO THEY GET A DOCTOR TO DO THIS?
Sorry. I just can’t get past this. A doctor? A DOCTOR? How is that even legal? How do they keep their license?
I feel like puking. And kicking the next Obama supporter I see in the head.

“HOW DO THEY GET A DOCTOR TO DO THIS?”
These “doctors” are the lowest of the low. Someone has to finish at the bottom of the class of bottom of the barrel foreign medical schools and these guys are it.
Most of them are enthusiastic fanatics about abortion. They enjoy the work. Dr. Mengele would be proud.

I understand, my follow up meant to be right away, but I was distracted by a business call so the my original answer looked pretty bleak.

Leaving a Baby that is born and alive to die without care or any medical treatment, is gross negligence and the Doctor should be prosecuted or even charged with murder.

I was thinking the same thing myself last week. It was triggered by a news article about the conviction and sentencing to death of a murderer. I realized that the execution would take place years later, if ever. Yet a teenage girl can get an abortion without her parents’ permission. Think about that the next time someone opposes the death penalty, but supports abortion.
Snidely Whiplash on September 16, 2008 at 7:31 PM
I’m pretty sure it’s NOT Obama who wanted you dead…try asking your mommy about it instead. You silly little fetus-freaks never learn: abortions are just like guns…try and outlaw them and the black market will thank you. Why? because you can’t turn off unprotected sex and UNWANTED babies…just ask Palin’s daughter or better yet…ask that redneck who knocked her up.
DanKenton on September 16, 2008 at 7:54 PM
I don’t think that Republicans are fighting the abortion issue correctly. Voddie Baucham sums it up better than I can:
“The Palin pick presents a dilemma for conservatives and liberals in a number of areas. Chief among them is the abortion debate. We all see the problem liberals have. How do you attack a woman as being anti-woman, or not understanding the issue (especially in light of the recent birth of her son, Trig)? I must admit I am waiting with bated breath to see what Biden does in the VP debates. However, few see the trap conservatives have set for themselves. Conservatives gleefully watch liberals squirm, but instead of ‘beating them at their own game,’ we’ve just acknowledged the superiority of their rules. We have agreed with them that abortion is about a woman’s right to choose by touting Palin’s ‘decision’ to have Trig, and her daughter’s ‘tough decision’ to go through with her pregnancy. We’ve agreed with them that it takes a woman to understand the issue. We’ve agreed with them that this is a pragmatic question as opposed to a theological and philosophical one. And we’ve agreed with them that the real battle is a battle for cultural hegemony.”
Send_Me on September 16, 2008 at 8:12 PM
Even an atheist like me can see that an abortion in the last trimester is murder, and Obama is an accomplice to that murder.
I do not watch H&C primarily of the C. Colmes was defending the indefensible.
Pelayo on September 16, 2008 at 8:15 PM
ALL babies are wanted, not always by their mothers, but they are indeed wanted. Millions of loving couples are waiting for babies to adopt. God wanted these babies born or He wouldn’t have given them live. We are endowed by our Creator with the unalienable right to life. It’s not up to some liberal MD to take the very life that God created.

This is Hannity’s interview with Gianna. She’s amazing. What a reminder as to the value of human life PERIOD!
Mojave Mark on September 16, 2008 at 9:13 PM
What I find amazing about Obama’s position is how diametrically opposed it is to the remainder of liberal philosophy. For everything else, any amount of government intrusiveness and denial of rights is to be lauded if it saves “even one life”.
So, howcum this doesn’t get the same consideration? [that was a rhetorical question -- I know that the real reason is that abortion is a sacrament to the left, no matter how many lives are destroyed]
AZfederalist on September 16, 2008 at 10:37 PM
Jim, actually the Illinois law we are discussing was in the docket long before the federal one was. Consider the fact that, to have the timeline you state, Obama would have had to have been an Illinois state senator after he was a United States Senator. The order of offices he has held is reversed from reality in your timeline.
In addition, you put the entire section of the code and you didn’t notice all the holes around the words “knowingly” and “in his medical judgement” — weasel words imputing a worth to intent (which can be measured only in the mind of the performer, not by any external act)?
The fact is, for whatever reason, Obama has signalled his willingness to let Gianna’s peers die on the table.
