You are reading way too much into this. We aren't talking about children that could survive the "botched abortion". That was never the intention of the original bill. ANYONE that has even the slightest chance of survival is already protected by law. What this bill was intended to do was to undermine the current stance of pro-choice held up by the standards that are used today. If there is any possible chance of survival, that child born of a botched abortion already has the rights of a human. What the essential effect of the law without the proper clauses would have done was give rights to a unborn child that twitched after being removed from the mother. It still can't survive and wasn't ever really alive in my opinion, but since the mother was the one that chose to have the abortion and the aborted fetus didn't survive, she is now guilty of murder, essentially removing her right to have the abortion in the first place. Obama doesn't support killing a child once it's born, just because the intent was to have an abortion. He is simply trying to protect a woman's choice to have the abortion in the first place.
