We’ve Asked for a Vote 18 Times to Ban Infanticide. Democrats Have Blocked Us.

This week, I asked a question, of Congress and our country, on the floor of the House of Representatives.

I requested unanimous consent for the House to consider the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which would ensure that any infant born alive after a failed abortion would receive the same care “as reasonably provided to any other child born alive at the same gestational age,” to quote the text of the bill.

The legislation, which I co-sponsored, would provide equal protection under the law for abortion survivors as for any other newborn.

Democrats denied my request, preventing this legislation from even being considered. It was the 18th time they blocked it.
