More on Obama and Babies

Between Two Worlds has a quick run down of Obama's opposition to the Born Alive Infant Protection Act:

IL Senate 2001

Senate Bill 1095, Born Alive Infant Protection Act
Voted "no" in the Senate Judiciary Committee (March 28, 2001)
Argued against the bill on the IL Senate floor (March 30, 2001) (see pp. 84-90 of this PDF)
Voted "present" for the bill (March 30, 2001)

IL Senate 2002

Senate Bill 1662, Born Alive Infant Protection Act
Voted "no" vote in the Senate Judiciary Committee (March 6, 2002)
Argued against the bill on the IL Senate floor (April 4, 2002) (see pp. 28-35 of this PDF)
Voted "no" for the bill (April 4, 2002)

IL Senate 2003

Senate Bill 1082, Born Alive Infant Protection Act
Obama, who chaired the Health and Human Services Committee, held the bill from receiving a committee vote and stopped the senator sponsor from adding the federal act's clarification paragraph, which made the bills absolutely identical.
