As a U.S. Senator, the President-Elect Barack Obama Voted for  Legislation which would have to Killed Gianna Jessen who was Born Alive  after a BOTCHED Abortion 
Gianna Jessen is 31 years old whose life and survival has been the  subject of intense media interest in light of the debate that she  sparked during the recent U.S. presidential campaign. She was born in  California in 1977 to a mother who tried, albeit unsuccessfully, to  undergo an abortion. At the age of 17, when many girls her age were  planning what they would be wearing on prom night, Gianna's mother, who  was six weeks pregnant, decided to end her pregnancy and her unborn  baby's life by submitting to an injection of saline solution whose  purpose was to burn the embryo she was carrying. Demonstrating a fierce  will to survive, even at that tender age, Giana, diagnosed with Cerebral  Palsy and numerous other disabilities because of the attempted  abortion, managed to survive when the odds were decidedly against her.  By pure chance, the abortionist was not present when Gianna was born,  for had he been present, there is almost no chance that she would have  lived. An experienced nurse quickly sent Gianna for emergency care at a  local neonatology intensive care department where the doctors kept her  alive, assuming that there was no chance she could. Weighing only 2  pounds there was little hope, and when she did "make it" she was placed  in foster care. The diagnosis was she would probably never be able to  walk or crawl, lift her head or sit up by herself. Eventually, demonstrating a fierce sense of personal drive, she  eventually learned to sit up, crawl, then stand. She learned to walk  with leg braces and a walker by the time she was four years old.  Physical therapy became a routine in her life, and after undergoing four  surgical procedures, she learned to walk unassisted. Walking led to walking faster and eventually she overcame the obstacles  and started running. Running led to racing, led to competitions and she  soon entered marathons (26.2 miles) a rare achievement for a person who  started out in life on such shaky ground. What does this have to do with America's dazzling president-elect -  himself a "poster image" of excellent health? Little other than the fact  that according to Ms. Jessen, early in his political career, Mr. Obama  was unwilling to support legislation which would have protected the  lives of "botched abortions". Gianna views Mr. Obama's opinions on the  matter as being seriously detrimental to the chances of people like her  surviving if they manage to do so by some miraculous means.  Gianna went so far as to publicize her concerns about Mr. Obama's  legislative record, and her views, and the candidate's positions were  widely viewed as opposing campaign advertisements. The advertisements  and attendant publicity resulted in public statements, accusations and  denials becoming part of their outspoken debate.  As Gianna sees it, Mr. Obama has lost his sense of objectivity due to  political ambition and expediency, as reflected in his attack on her  during the campaign. All she asked of him publicly was to support  medical care and protection for infants who survive abortion. Gianna  claims that Obama voted against such legislative protection and care  four times even though the U.S. Senate voted 98-0 in favor of a bill  identical to the one Obama opposed. Again, according to Ms. Jessen, in  the words of Mr. Obama's own misleading ad, his position is totally  unacceptable. In defending his position, Mr. Obama said that the  question of when babies should receive human rights was above his pay  grade. Gianna's response to that very wishy-washy explanation: That type  of vacillation in public policy almost left her to die. No one should  have to go through what she experienced.
