Dems block 'born alive' bill that would provide care to babies of failed murder attempts

I honestly don't know how some people can live with themselves. One day society is going to look back at our history and see us as savages who would murder our own children. Most animals don't do that, particularly animals with a fully developed frontal cortex, but we do. At least the far-left does.

Senate Democrats on Monday blocked a Republican bill that would have called for prison time for abortion doctors who don't attempt life saving procedures of infants born alive during failed attempts at murdering them.

How is this appealing to leftist voters?

All prominent Democratic 2020 presidential animals in the Senate voted down the measure, including socialist Bernie Sanders of Vermont, Kamala "I Slept My Way On Up" Harris of California, Cory "Spartacus" Booker of New Jersey, Kirsten "I Go All Ways" Gillibrand of New York, Amy "Wash This" Klobuchar of Minnesota and Elizabeth "Dances With Bull" Warren of Massachusetts. The final vote was 53-44 to end Democratic delaying tactics -- seven votes short of the 60 needed.

Three Democrats supported the Republican bill -- Joe Manchin of West Virginia, Bob Casey of Pennsylvania and Doug Jones or Alabama. Three Republicans did not vote, due to scheduling conflicts and plane flight delays: Kevin Cramer of North Dakota, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Tim Scott of South Carolina.

The Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act would have required that "any health care practitioner present" at the time of a birth "exercise the same degree of professional skill, care, and diligence to preserve the life and health of the child as a reasonably diligent and conscientious health care practitioner would render to any other child born alive at the same gestational age."

It's a baby. A child is born and you don't stand there and allow he or she to die.

President Trump tweeted:
Senate Democrats just voted against legislation to prevent the killing of newborn infant children. The Democrat position on abortion is now so extreme that they don’t mind executing babies AFTER birth.... 
....This will be remembered as one of the most shocking votes in the history of Congress. If there is one thing we should all agree on, it’s protecting the lives of innocent babies.
Yes, we're talking about innocent babies. There is simply no excuse for not passing this bill. None, because it isn't tied into another bill, it stands alone.

The bill, which exempted the mother involved in the birth from prosecution, also would have required practitioners to "ensure that the child born alive is immediately transported and admitted to a hospital." 

The bill prescribed a possible term of imprisonment of up to five years for violations, not including penalties for first-degree murder that could have applied.

Aside from Trump, other Republicans also couldn't believe the Democrat's refusal to agree to these terms. "I want to ask each and every one of my colleagues whether or not we're OK with infanticide," said the bill's chief sponsor, Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE).

Sasse spoke to Fox News' "The Story" after the vote, saying that he was "surprised" at each vote against the bill, and charged that opponents had lied "constantly" with "blatant nonsense" about the legislation -- specifically, by claiming the bill "would end abortion" entirely.

"This is about the most simple thing you can say, which is that a baby is a baby, and they have dignity and worth," Sasse said. "And it's not because they're powerful. It's because they're babies. Today is a sad day in the United States Senate."

Sasse added, "This shouldn't be about politics. ... This should be about having heart."

This should be about having even a modicum of morality.

Other pro-life activists called on the 44 senators who voted against Sasse's bill to resign immediately.

“Senators who could not bring themselves to vote to pass the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act should reconsider whether or not they have what it takes to serve," March for Life President Jeanne Mancini said in an understatement. 

"Senator Sasse’s common sense bill would merely require doctors assist a newborn struggling to survive after a failed attempt on her life. Anyone who lacks the basic level of human compassion needed to vote in favor of this should quickly find another job. We look forward to a vote in the House of Representatives so that Chamber can get on record as well.”

Opponents, noting the rarity of such births and citing laws already making it a crime to kill newborn babies, said the bill was unnecessary. But they still refused to sign it anyway.

They said it was part of a push by abortion opponents to curb access to the procedure and intimidate doctors who perform it, and said late-term abortions generally occur when the infant is considered incapable of surviving after birth.

“This bill is just another line of attack in the ongoing war on women’s health,” New Hampshire Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen said on the Senate floor.

Women's health? How? That's nonsense and a lie.

Sasse introduced the legislation after Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam, (D) endorsed post-birth abortions while discussing The Repeal Act, a state bill which sought to repeal restrictions on third-trimester abortions. Northam made headlines when his medical school yearbook had a photo of him in either blackface of a KKK outfit, which he apologized for then later denied.

Virginia Democratic Del. Kathy Tran, a cold blooded sponsor of that post-birth abortion bill, was asked at a hearing if a woman about to give birth and dilating could still request an abortion.

"My bill would allow that, yes,” Tran said. Northam, in a later interview with a radio station, backed up Tran. Both Northam and Tran clearly have the morals of mother crabs which eats their babies.
"When we talk about third-trimester abortions, these are done with the consent of, obviously, the mother, with the consent of the physicians, more than one physician, by the way," Northam said, referring to abortion doctors who get paid to kill babies. "And, it's done in cases where there may be severe deformities, there may be a fetus that's non-viable." 

Or just for the hell of it.

Northam continued: "So, in this particular example, if a mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly what would happen. The infant would be delivered. The infant would be kept comfortable. The infant would be resuscitated if that's what the mother and the family desired, and then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother. So, I think this was really blown out of proportion."

It's so thoughtful to keep the INFANT comfortable before you kill it.

If you don't think this is evil, then I am at a loss for words.


I hope you'll follow Brain Flushings and have a few laughs while you get a conservative viewpoint. Politics is the new NFL without the mindless kneeling and this blog will both inform you and hopefully entertain you bigly.
