Obama's Sudden Concern for the Life of Children: From the Infant Born Alive Protection Act to Sandy Hook

Tonight, we saw Obama show great concern for the future of children as he quoted Christian scripture. He went as far as saying we would need to make changes (lose gun rights) in order to protect the freedoms of these young children.

"We will have to change....We can't tolerate this anymore, and to end them we have to change. Evil...cannot be an excuse inaction. I'll use whatever power I hold...in an effort in preventing more tragedies like this. Are we prepared to say that we are powerless? Are we prepared to say that such violence visited upon our children year after year is the price of our freedom?"

I find it ironic that Obama cares about the children when there is political gains to be made from it. You see, while I am trying hard not to sound cold, because I am saddened by the events of Connecticut, I am also from Illinois, and I understand Obama's voting record when it comes to protecting innocent children.

We all know Obama is very pro abortion. Tonight, as he talked about protecting the children it was hard to put remove from my mind that Obama is also the only legislator to vote against the Infant Born Alive Protection Act. You see, in Illinois, when Obama served in the Illinois Senate, he seemed to not have much concern for the lives of innocent children.

“When he was in the Illinois state Senate, Barack Obama voted to deny basic Constitutional protections for babies born alive from an abortion .”

The bill was written after it was discovered in 1999 that an Illinois hospital was shelving babies to die in a soiled utility room who had survived their abortions.

Think about the irony of all this. Obama seemed to care tonight. I want to believe that he genuinely cares, but his record towards life speaks a whole different language.
