Newt Gingrich

My mother has asked my why I haven’t been watching the Republican debates.

a.) I’m not voting for any of these fuckers anyway. I’ll catch the highlights (lowlights) on the recycle.

b.) I’d be hard-pressed to listen to this hyperbolic, down right erroneous bullshit right here and not put a hole in a wall.

In reference to Obama voting against the “Born Alive” bill as an Illinois senator (PolitiFact):

When Obama was a state senator, abortion opponents proposed “born alive” legislation in 2001, 2002 and 2003. The proposals’ intent was to require doctors to provide immediate life-saving care to any infant that survived an intended abortion. The legislation, which included multiple bills, specified that an infant surviving a planned abortion is “born alive” and “shall be fully recognized as a human person and accorded immediate protection under the law.”

The bills’ supporters said it gave added emphasis to laws already on the books, deterring the death of abortion survivors from neglect. (One of the bills’ strongest supporters was a nurse who said she had witnessed infants left to die in dirty utility rooms.) Abortion-rights proponents, on the other hand, said the legislation was a back-door attempt to stop legal abortions.

Illinois already had a law on its books from 1975 that said if a doctor suspected an abortion was scheduled for a viable fetus — meaning able to survive outside of the mother’s body — then the child must receive medical care if it survives the abortion. The new laws didn’t distinguish between viable and nonviable, meaning that an infant of any age that survived an abortion should receive care.

Edit: Do a shot everytime a candidate references the Bogeyman that is the elite media.
