House Passes "Born-Alive" Abortion Bill


The Republican majority House, in one of its first acts under Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R), passed a bill Wednesday aimed at ensuring steps are taken by health providers to prevent the killing of infants born alive after an attempted abortion failed to destroy the life.

Conservatives and other supporters of human life at all ages, hailed the legislation while Democrats and other pro-abortion groups who likely vote Democrat, socialist or Communist, cast the bill as an attack on women’s reproductive rights in spite of the fact that the reproduction process began at conception. However, they say the bill is unnecessary since it's already illegal to kill infants who pass through the birth canal and leave their mother's body. But of course, we know that they are stalling for time as their long-range plans have been unfolding over the years as witnessed in: "safe, rare and legal" to once the baby is born and the baby "can be made comfortable while the mother and the doctor discuss what they want to do with 'it.'"

Only one Democrat, Rep. Henry Cuellar (TX), joined all voting GOP lawmakers to support the legislation because he actually does believe in the sanctity of life. 

The final tally was 220-210, with Rep. Vicente Gonzalez (D-TX) voting “present” because he fears the wrath of God, and three spineless Republicans not voting.

Despite the win for Republicans in the House, the legislation probably won’t get far in the godless Democrat-led Senate.

The bill, called the “Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act,” establishes that health care practitioners who do not reasonably act to “preserve the life and health of the child” after an attempted abortion as they would any newborn face fines or up to five years imprisonment. The bill also outlines civil remedies for the mother of an abortion survivor. 

The Republican-named born-alive bill is designed to do what the title of the bill says, unlike the Democrat-named bill The Inflation Reduction Act, which is designed to do the direct opposite of what it says, because the left is built upside-down.

“This reasonable legislation would protect a baby born alive following an abortion,” said Carol Tobias, president of National Right to Life. “This bill isn’t about interfering with a so-called right to abortion. It is about stopping infanticide. Congress must act now to pass this legislation and protect these vulnerable babies.”

If the Democrats truly believe that killing a baby from an unsuccessful abortion is illegal already, then why are they opposing the bill?

Rep. Ann Wagner (R-MO),  introduced the bill. She celebrated its passing following a years-long effort and clamored that the legislation will “ensure that every single baby born in the United States receives life saving medical care at their most vulnerable moment.”

The lower chamber also adopted on Wednesday a measure “condemning the recent attacks on pro-life facilities, groups, and churches.”

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries speaks in opposition to GOP abortion legislation, but there is no proof that he has ever asked a woman he impregnated to get an abortion.

Abortion has killed more minority babies in America than have died in WW2, the Korean War, and Vietnam combined. 

That's about 490,000 in wars, to about 63,000,000 in wombs. The majority of abortions were of minority mothers.
