We are a nonpartisan, nonprofit “consumer advocate” for voters that aims to reduce the level of deception and confusion in U.S. politics. We monitor the factual accuracy of what is said by major U.S. political players in the form of TV ads, debates, speeches, interviews and news releases. Our goal is to apply the best practices of both journalism and scholarship, and to increase public knowledge and understanding.
FactCheck.org is a project of the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania. The APPC was established by publisher and philanthropist Walter Annenberg to create a community of scholars within the University of Pennsylvania that would address public policy issues at the local, state and federal levels.
Prior to fiscal 2010, we were supported entirely by three sources: funds from the APPC’s own resources (specifically an endowment created in 1993 by the Annenberg Foundation at the direction of the late Walter Annenberg, and a 1995 grant by the Annenberg Foundation to fund APPC’s Washington, D.C., base); additional funds from the Annenberg Foundation; and grants from the Flora Family Foundation. We do not seek and have never accepted, directly or indirectly, any funds from corporations, unions, partisan organizations or advocacy groups.
In 2010, we began accepting donations from individual members of the public for the first time, responding to many unsolicited offers of support from our subscribers. We launched our first public appeal for donations in April 2010.
At that time we also decided to disclose our finances in greater detail, so that our readers may judge for themselves whether or not any of those individual donations could influence us.
Our policy is to disclose the identity of any individual donor giving $1,000 or more. We also disclose the total amount, average amount and number of individual donations under $1,000.
Note: In addition to the sums reported here, FactCheck.org receives in-kind support from the Annenberg Public Policy Center including office space, utilities and technical support from APPC staff. We do not attempt to assign a dollar value to these in-kind services, which are funded from the APPC’s own resources.

Illinois’ preexisting protections were “loophole-ridden” and only applied to babies who were considered to have “sustainable survivability,” leaving pre-“viable” newborns unprotected.
The Chicago Tribune reported that “prosecutors in IL entered into a consent decree in 1993 agreeing not to prosecute doctors for apparent or alleged violations of the law based on ‘born alive’ definitions or other definitions.
A de facto legalization of infanticide under certain conditions was already in place in Illinois, and Obama’s votes blocked measures to end it.
This is old news, but important.
We on the right want to limit abortion, and we're "nutjobs"
0b0mba voted to NOT help keep failed abortions alive, and he's main steam, according to some.

He's mainstream with his HHS Sec. Kathleen Sebelius whose gubernatorial campains in Kansas included Dr. Tiller (the baby killer) as a major contributor.
Eugenics is a central pillar to the ideology of Progressivism. As such Progressivism is the anti-liberty party.
This is really old news & common knowledge. Look it up yourself. It is a matter of voting record in the Illinois legislature. Quite a bit was made about this prior to the 2008 election. Of course the pro-abortion/pro-infanticide/pro-war Obama voting base couldn't care less.
In fact supporting infanticide is a badge of honor. Libs love killing babies as well as aborting them. They also love atheists. Gay rights are paramount but babies rights? Not so much. Not burning fossil fuels, great. Starving the poor with high gasoline costs? Tough.

The really amusing thing about this, let's fresher up a failed line of attack from 2008, tactic is how desperate the GOP must been. We know Obama doesn't want to kill babies but with these clowns they're parading around what else do they have, lies.
