Unfortunately, I was going to vote, but under the circumstances, I just moved out to an out of state. I'd rather getting to know State/local politicians first, though. Both McCain and Obama do not impress me at all. Ah, the lesser of two evils principle!
I was reading Obama's Illinois Legislative Voting Record. It was interesting..
ABORTION:
SB 230 (1997)
To prohibit partial-birth abortion unless necessary to save
the life of a mother and makes performance of the procedure a Class 4 felony for the physician.
Obama's vote: NO
HB 709 (2000)
To prohibit state funding of abortion and induced miscarriages except when necessary to save the life of the mother. Excludes premature births from funding except to produce a viable child when necessary to save the life of a
mother. Would permit funding in cases of rape or incest
when payment is authorized under federal law.
Obama's vote: NO
SB 1661 (2002)
A part of the Born Alive Infant Protection Package. Would
create a cause of action if a child is born alive after an abortion and the child is then neglected through failure to provide medial care after birth.
Obama's vote: NO
CRIME
SB 381 (1997)
To require prisoners to pay court costs for frivolous lawsuits
against the state.
Obama's vote: NO
SB 485 (1999)
To give no offer of “good time” for sex offenders sentenced
to the County Jail.
Obama's vote: NO*
*Obama was the only vote against this measure
