Silent on Gosnell, Obama Once Had ‘Confidence’ Abortionists Would Not Kill Born-Alive Babies

While the Obama administration will not comment on the murder trial of Dr. Kermit Gosnell, charged in Philadelphia for the murder of seven born babies and one woman, President Barack Obama said when he was a state legislator in Illinois that no laws are needed to protect babies born alive after a botched abortion.

“It’s important to understand that this issue ultimately is about abortion and not live births,” then Illinois state Sen. Obama said on April 4, 2002. “Because if these are children who are being born alive, I, at least, have confidence that a doctor who is in that room is going to make sure that they’re looked after.”
