Four Democratic senators who voted against protecting newborns sponsored a bill designed to protect baby cats.
Senators Jeff Merkley (D., Ore.), Cory Booker (D., N.J.), Gary Peters (D., Mich.), and Tom Udall (D., N.M.) cosponsored a bill designed to put an end to animal testing using kittens. The KITTEN Act of 2019 came after it was revealed that the Department of Agriculture was testing suspect Chinese meat on cats, posing a potentially fatal risk to the felines. It was introduced about a week after all of those Democratic senators voted to block legislation that would have required doctors to provide medical care to newborns who survive abortion.
The contrast between those two positions prompted public outcry from those working to safeguard the lives of children. Lauren Fine, spokeswoman for Rep. Steve Scalise (R., La.), said that Democrats should show as much compassion for infants as they do for cats.
"There is nothing more valuable than human life, and as a society we must defend it at every stage," she said. "It's unfathomable that Democrats can find time to defend the lives of kittens, but at the same time are vehemently opposed to even the consideration of legislation designed to protect infants born alive during an abortion from being killed."
None of the Democratic senators responded to request for comment.

Grrrrrrr!
ReplyDeleteThis speaks volumes for just how the liberal left feels about humanity. I like kittens too but the exhilarating squeals of our year old grand daughter during her first ride on a swing melts the heart. How can these people be so insensitive? I get that women should have the right to chose what they do to themselves but the left gets more radical by the day with regard to what extent.
