No one likes the idea of killing babies, but I sure bet the Republican party loves the fact that some people think of Obama as a "baby killer." Many bills about these controversial issues are introduced to congress to play to party politics. For example, this bill about partial birth abortion probably had some other agenda, and it had no real hope of passing. However, it did allow people to come back later and make claims against Obama that are sure to rouse some powerful emotion.

Just something to think about....we have had a republican president for the last 8 years, who has continuously said he is against abortion. As far as I know, he hasn't done anything about it whatsoever. I think both sides present a lot of rhetoric, but really, presidents don't have the power to simply ban abortion at the snap of their fingers. They just use moral issues as a way to sway votes, but ultimately do nothing about them.
