What say you, Mr. President?

No matter where you stand on the abortion issue, this should outrage you: Lawsuit: Florida Clinic Botched Abortion, Threw Out Live Baby

TAMPA, Florida — Eighteen and pregnant, Sycloria Williams went to an abortion clinic outside Miami and paid $1,200 for Dr. Pierre Jean-Jacque Renelique to terminate her 23-week pregnancy.

Three days later, she sat in a reclining chair, medicated to dilate her cervix and otherwise get her ready for the procedure.

Only Renelique didn't arrive in time. According to Williams and the Florida Department of Health, she went into labor and delivered a live baby girl.

What Williams and the Health Department say happened next has shocked people on both sides of the abortion debate: One of the clinic's owners, who has no medical license, cut the infant's umbilical cord. Williams says the woman placed the baby in a plastic biohazard bag and threw it out....

"The baby was just treated as a piece of garbage," said Tom Brejcha, president of The Thomas More Society, a law firm that is also representing Williams. "People all over the country are just aghast...."

So here's the question: Given that while in the Illinois Senate, Barack Obama opposed the state's version of the Born Alive Infant Protection Act multiple times, what about this little girl? This would be a good opportunity for President Obama to clarify his position -- did she deserve legal protection after being born alive?
