*Links to Barack Obama's votes on IL's Born Alive Infant Protection Act*

I'm receiving more and more email requests for corroboration of *Barack 
Obama's* votes on *IL's Born Alive Infant Protection Act* as state 
senator. So I'm going to write a permanent post.

I'm also posting, right, an August 25, 2004, /*Chicago Sun-Times*/ 
cartoon by *Jack Higgins*, printed on page 49, pictorially admonishing 
Obama for his opposition to Born Alive.

A package of Born Alive bills was introduced three times during Obama's 
tenure.

The cornerstone bill was the Born Alive Infant Protection Act, which 
defined legal personhood. This definition was identical to the federal 
BAIPA <http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=h107-2175> 
which was drafted from the definition of "live birth" created by the 
*World Health Organization* 
<http://www.who.int/healthinfo/statistics/indunder5mortality/en/> in 
1950 and adopted by the *United Nations* 
<http://unstats.un.org/unsd/demographic/sconcerns/natality/natmethods.htm> 
in 1955....

Here I will only post links to Obama's actions and votes on the 
cornerstone bill, the Born Alive Infant Protection Act. The bill number 
changed every year it was reintroduced.

_*2001*_

*Senate Bill 1095* 
<http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/legisnet92/status/920SB1095.html>, Born 
Alive Infant Protection Act

Obama's "no" vote in the Senate Judiciary Committee on March 28, 2001, 
is no longer available online.

Transcript of Obama's verbal opposition to Born Alive on the IL Senate 
floor <http://www.ilga.gov/senate/transcripts/strans92/ST033001.pdf>, 
March 30, 2001, pages 84-90

Obama's "present" vote on the IL Senate floor 
<http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/votehistory/srollcalls92/920SB1095_03302001_030000T.PDF>, 
March 30, 2001

_*2002*_

*Senate Bill 1662* 
<http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/legisnet92/status/920SB1662.html>, Born 
Alive Infant Protection Act

Obama's "no" vote in the Senate Judiciary Committee on March 6, 2002, is 
no longer available online.

Transcript of Obama's verbal opposition to Born Alive on the IL Senate 
floor <http://www.ilga.gov/senate/transcripts/strans92/ST040402.pdf>,

Obama's "no" vote on the IL Senate floor 
<http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/votehistory/srollcalls92/920SB1662_04042002_014000T.pdf>, 
April 4, 2002

_*2003*_

*Senate Bill 1082* 
<http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/BillStatus.asp?DocNum=1082&GAID=3&DocTypeID=SB&LegId=3910&SessionID=3&GA=93>, 
Born Alive Infant Protection Act

Democrats took control of the IL Senate with the 2002 elections. They 
sent Born Alive to the infamously liberal *Health & Human Services 
Committee*, chaired by Barack Obama 
<http://www.ilga.gov/senate/committees/members.asp?GA=93&committeeID=85>.

As can be seen on the Actions 
<http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/BillStatus.asp?DocNum=1082&GAID=3&DocTypeID=SB&LegId=3910&SessionID=3&GA=93> 
docket, Obama held Born Alive on March 6, 2003, from even being voted on 
in committee. It is also important to note from the docket that on March 
13, 2003, Obama stopped the senate sponsor from adding the lately 
discussed clarification paragraph 
<http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/fulltext.asp?DocName=09300SB1082sam001&GA=93&SessionId=3&DocTypeId=SB&LegID=3910&DocNum=1082&GAID=3&Session=> 
from the federal BAIPA, to make the bills absolutely identical.
