Record on Abortion: Barack Obama

Co-sponsor of "Freedom of Choice Act" (nullifies all federal and state limitations on abortion, including what is currently permitted by the Supreme Court). Supports the legalization of partial birth abortions. Voted against an amendment that would permit states to give federally subsidized healthcare insurance for an unborn child. As a member of the Illinois State Senate, he opposed the "Born-Alive Infants Protection Act" (would allow for the protection for babies who survived abortions, as well as for babies who are born prematurely). Voted against a bill that requires an abortionist to contact the parents before performing an abortion on a minor from another state.
