No it wasn't. He voted for an amendment to make it identical to the federal law. It wasn't amended. The final version said "any". All versions of the IL bills included pre-viable.

Viability has nothing to do with what happens after a child is born alive. Not morally and not legally. Babies who are born following an unsuccessful attempt to suck the life out of them are entitled to medical treatment. I find it hard to believe that anybody could dispute that position and even harder that anybody could go on record with that position and then become president of the United States of America. It is mind boggling. If I had voted even once for such a man, I would be begging for forgiveness.
