There was a major abortion bill passed in 2003 called the Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act.  It declared illegal the practice of Intact Dilation and Extraction, a form of late term abortion where birth is induced through drugs and the child is killed while being delivered, and partially outside the womb.  Further making the issue controversial was the fact that some children who survived were allowed to die OUTSIDE THE WOMB.  This was testified by key witnesses such as Allison Baker and Jill Stanek, and played a key part in the federal case.

Obama in Illinois as a state senator at the time voted against the Illinois version of this federal bill that would go on to become the most major victory for the pro-life movement in its history, and the only major federal bill to successfully bar a form of abortion.  The bill is now federal law, and in the Congressional findings as I will show, Congress differentiated between the practice of intact dilation and extraction, also known as live birth abortion, partial birth abortion, infanticide, and late-term abortion, and regular abortion.  Indeed, Congressional findings even referred to the act of Intact Dilation and Extraction as both infanticide and partial birth abortion, and the fetus in question also as a child/infant.  --[[User:Jzyehoshua|Jzyehoshua]] 07:20, 30 December 2009 (EST)
