Illinois 93rd General Assembly. SB 1082, 19 Feb. 2003.
http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/BillStatus.asp?DocNum=1082&GAID=3&DocTypeID=SB&LegId=3910&SessionID=3&GA=93
As originally proposed, the 2003 state bill, SB 1082, sought to define the term "born-alive infant" as any infant, even one born as the result of an unsuccessful abortion, that shows vital signs separate from its mother.
****The bill would have established that infants thus defined were humans with legal rights. It never made it to the floor; it was voted down by the Health and Human Services Committee, which Obama chaired.***
Illinois 93rd General Assembly. SB 1083, 19 Feb. 2003.

If a child is born alive after an induced labor abortion or any other abortion, a parent of the child or the public guardian of the county in which the child was born may maintain an action on the child's behalf for damages, including all costs of care to preserve and protect the life, health, and safety of the child, punitive damages, costs of suit, and attorney's fees, against any hospital, health care facility, or health care provider who harms or neglects the child or fails to provide medical care to the child after the child's birth.
When the Senate bill 93-1083 went to the Health and Human Services committee which Obama chaired, it was ammended to have the Federal "preservation clause" That amendment added the words, "Nothing in this section shall be construed to affirm, deny, expand, or contract any legal status or legal right applicable to any member of the species homo sapiens at any point prior to being born alive as defined in this Section.." Exactly the words that were added to the federal bill that led to its passage.
***It was a party-line vote, with Democrats Barack Obama, Mattie Hunter, Maggie Crotty, Susan Garrett, Carol Ronen and Jeff Schoenberg voting no; Republicans Dale Righter, Christine Radogno, Dave Syverson and Kathleen Wojcik voting yes.***
