Discovered: Obama article on abortion rights in 1990

Politico found the unsigned law review article penned by Barack Obama in 1990. Excerpts:

The six-page summary, tucked into the third volume of the year's Harvard Law Review, considers the charged, if peripheral, question of whether fetuses should be able to file lawsuits against their mothers. Obama's answer, like most courts': No. He wrote approvingly of an Illinois Supreme Court ruling that the unborn cannot sue their mothers for negligence, and he suggested that allowing fetuses to sue would violate the mother's rights and could, perversely, cause her to take more risks with her pregnancy.

... And he concluded the article with a flourish: "Expanded access to prenatal education and heath care facilities will far more likely serve the very real state interest in preventing increasing numbers of children from being born in to lives of pain and despair."

But wait, I thought Obama advocates hope. I guess he thought that these little ones only had despair to look forward to in their future. Better to end their lives then see them live in pain, I guess. What sort of hope is this?!
