It looks like Obama owes the pro-life groups an apology for slandering them. His campaign admits that the state bill protecting babies born due to botched abortions was identical to the federal bill:

His campaign yesterday acknowledged that he had voted against an identical bill in the state Senate, and a spokesman, Hari Sevugan, said the senator and other lawmakers had concerns that even as worded, the legislation could have undermined existing Illinois abortion law. Those concerns did not exist for the federal bill, because there is no federal abortion law.

So much for defying “common sense” and “imagination!”
