SUMMARY: Fox News' Sean Hannity falsely claimed that Sen. Barack Obama "made a statement over the weekend talking about the issue of abortion. If people make a mistake, quote, 'I don't want them punished with a baby,' unquote." In fact, according to CNN, Obama was responding to "a question about how his administration, if he's elected, would deal with the issue of HIV and AIDS and also sexually transmitted diseases with young girls," and replied by talking about the need for effective sex education.
