Republicans are maneuvering to give an abortion survivors protection bill a floor vote in the Democrat-controlled House.
GOP leaders will file a discharge petition to force a vote on the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act on April 2 in an effort to force a vote after Democrats have refused to bring it out of committee. Minority Whip Rep. Steve Scalise (R., La.) is spearheading the effort to gain the 218 votes needed to accomplish that goal. That would require the support of his entire caucus, as well as 21 Democrats. Scalise acknowledged that the maneuver is rarely used, but said it was necessary given the embrace of "radical abortion" positions advancing in blue states, such as New York.
"This is one tool we have, especially as the minority party, to try to bring very important and critical legislation to a vote," he told the Washington Free Beacon. "There is momentum already starting to build … we already have heard from some Democrats and there's been a lot of interest from the pro-life community."
The bill would force abortionists and medical personnel to provide care to infants who survive the procedure and are born alive. Bills in the House and Senate emerged following public outcry when Virginia's Democratic governor Ralph Northam endorsed allowing babies to die on the table if doctors did not receive permission from mothers to care for them. Scalise called the practice "barbaric" and recent late-term abortion legislation in New York has "alarmed people all across the country."

Call it what it is: Democrat-sanctioned murder.
ReplyDeleteAllowing a baby that has survived an abortion to lay on a cold hard table and cry and cry and cry without any intervention until they die is barbaric. But is to be expected out of the democrat party. They are all barbaric and extremely primal and uncivilized. Democrats are a sub species of the human being that never evolved into civilized human beings. And none can deny this as their own actions prove this.
ReplyDeleteIf the baby was butchered during the abortion it would be merciful to end that baby's life and the doctor should be charged with 2nd degree murder.
ReplyDelete@10:40 why wouldnt it be premeditated murder? The woman made an appointment for the doctor to kill her child! Sounds premeditated to me!!!!!
