Baron's Obamassiah Endorsement Questioned

From the letters section of the Indianapolis Star:

Obama's abortion vote leaves Hill to explain endorsement

Barack Obama opposed the Born Alive Infants Protection Act in the Illinois state legislature, a bill that would make it illegal to kill a baby that survives an abortion and is born. This is a window into Obama's overall philosophy and his character. It indicates a radical pro-abortion ideology that shatters the myth of a moderate politician. It indicates a moral blindness to serious violations of basic human rights.

This is relevant for 9th District voters because Baron Hill endorsed Barack Obama just a few days before the Democratic Party primary in May. Obama's opponent, a tireless advocate for "abortion rights" herself, voted for the Born Alive Infants Protection Act at the federal level. Hill decided, perhaps due to the enthusiastic support Obama has in Bloomington, to support an extremist who opposed closing a loophole to ban all infanticide.

Why did Hill endorse a radical who opposed a bill banning infanticide? Why did Hill, who claims to be a moderate, endorse a candidate who is anything but moderate? Baron Hill owes it to 9th District voters to answer these hard questions.

Baron's endorsement of America's most liberal senator gives him a lot to answer for.

But Baron also has to answer for his own repeated votes to increase the funding for Planned Parenthood, to continue that funding when it could have been stopped, and to send our tax dollars overseas to fund abortions in foreign countries (also here).

Baron campaigned on upholding Hoosier values. The right to life for the most innocent among us is a fundamental value, and Baron has repeatedly acted against it. He has voted against it, and he has endorsed a presidential candidate who is even more radical when it comes to such simple and important Hoosier values as well.
