BY LifeSiteNews.com By John-Henry WestenWASHINGTON, August 28, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The mainstream media has yet to notice, but Senator McCain last week directly accused Barack Obama of courting infanticide.  While the pro-life movement in the nation has been on the issue for weeks, McCain himself delivered the punch line in his radio address for August 23.McCain noted Obama’s vote against the Illinois version of the Born Alive Infants Protection Act, which McCain described as a "law to require medical care for babies who survive abortions."  McCain added to that description: "living, breathing babies whom Senator Obama described as, quote, ‘previable.’"McCain also accused Obama of lying on the matter, a fact which is well known to pro-life Americans who have followed the saga.  "At Saddleback, he [Obama] assured a reporter that he’d have voted ‘yes’ on that bill if it had contained language similar to the federal version of the Born Alive Infants Protection Act," said McCain. "Even though the language of both the state and federal bills was identical, Senator Obama said people were, quote, ‘lying’ about his record."  McCain concluded: "When that record was later produced, he dropped the subject but didn’t withdraw the slander. And now even Senator Obama’s campaign has conceded that his claims and accusations were false."Taking a shot at Obama’s now famous "above my pay grade" cop out on the question of when life begins, McCain concluded his message saying: "I can assure you that if I am president, advancing the cause of life will not be above my pay grade."Full Text of Senator John McCain’s radio address of August 23http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2008/aug/08082708.htmlTo listen to the audio version click here: http://www.johnmccain.com/Downloads/082208_B.mp3 http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/mccain-himself-accuses-obama-of-courting-infanticide/
