Hey Will: here's the blogger's response to your note:

Overzealous, liberal responder:

The Born-Alive Infants Protection Act of 2001 was introduced in U.S. House on June 14, 2001
(H.R. 2175) and U.S. Senate (S. 1050).
Both Sens. Hillary Clinton (NY) and John Kerry (MA)voted “yes”. This legislation was not limited to Illinois. It simply stemmed from there.
I understand there is some controversy over the "verbiage" of the bill and that is now why Obama says he voted against it (before he voted for it). This is a typical dilemma for politicians. They don’t get everything they want and refuse to vote a certain way until they get their way. Well, it is my opinion that this was worth putting pettiness aside. Babies were suffering and being left to die (outside of their mother’s womb).
President-elect Barack Obama is one of the most pro-choice politicians of our time. Few would argue that fact. I am against abortion. You can bet that if I hear of brutality against children and politicians do nothing (or worse, make it easier for the acts to occur), I’ll be looking into it and writing about it.
I appreciate the opposition. It keeps me on my toes, but I firmly stand by my words.
Calling Stanek a "wing-nut" does not discredit her claim. This woman witnessed brutal acts against born infants. Her points were valid. If they were not, the issue never would’ve made it to the House and Senate. She had nothing to personally gain by exposing this horrible process.
Lastly, the venom in your words leads me to believe that you are pro-choice and most likely believe that my views stem from some crazy, religious, self-righteous background. I assure you, they do not. My views on abortion relate to my humanity, not my religion.
I take pride in what I write and if I am ever factually incorrect, I would hope that it would be respectfully brought to my attention. I would like you to know that I do research and check facts. It’s not some opinion I spout without serious thought.
I ask that you do not dismiss my words because you don't agree with them. I will do my best to offer you that courtesy in return.
Thank you for taking the time to read and thank you for your comments.
