DC: The Born-Alive Survivors Protection Act, which would have ensured that babies who survive abortions are given medical attention, failed to pass the U.S. Senate Monday evening.
The bill failed by a vote of 53 to 44. The Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act would have mandated that babies born alive after an abortion would receive the “same protection of law as any newborn.” The bill required 60 votes to pass.
Democratic presidential hopefuls Kamala Harris of California, Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, Cory Booker of New Jersey, Sherrod Brown of Ohio, Kirsten Gillibrand of New York and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts voted against the bill. Independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders also voted against the measure. Democratic Illinois Sen. Tammy Duckworth described the bill as an obvious effort “to bully doctors out of giving reproductive care,” and voted against it.
Democratic Sens. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, Bob Casey of Pennsylvania, and Doug Jones of Alabama voted in favor of the bill.
Republican Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski didn’t vote. Republican South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott was reportedly on his way to vote in favor of the measure. “He would’ve absolutely voted for it,” a National Review writer tweeted.
Sasse: The Dems ‘Constantly Lied’ About The Born-Alive Abortion Bill.
“I do feel strongly about this. This is about the most simple thing you can say, which is that a baby is a baby and they have dignity and they have worth. It’s not because they’re powerful, it’s because they’re babies,” Sasse began. “Today is a sad day in the U.S. Senate. I remain hopeful long-term because, ultimately, the United States Senate today could have a bunch of people, 44 of our members decided to try to stick their head in the sand and pretend that a baby isn’t a baby.”
“Were you surprised? Was there anybody who voted against this that you had spoken to who you thought maybe was going to be on board?” MacCallum asked.
“I’m surprised that all 44 people who voted no, frankly because the way this bill was characterized by the big abortion industry shows how desperate they are because they just lied constantly about the bill,” Sasse stated. MORE
Trump Slams Senate Democrats On Born Alive Bill: ‘One Of The Most Shocking Votes In The History Of Congress’.
“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,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “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.” MORE
There is a real Lake of Fire and real people will go there.
There are those who say the Lake is not literal, that it is merely symbolic of something else.
Okay. If that’s true, it’s a dreadful symbol for something far worse, something beyond comprehension that cannot fit into our minds, something that the righteous and holy Creator and Judge of the universe says is the only place eternally suited for those unrepentant of sins.
A woman always has choice over her body…unless her body is inside another woman’s body…
How many more ways can they prove just what a reprehensible group of scum they really are? They’re completely void of any compassion and sympathy for their fellow humans.
This is the number one reason I will never vote for a democrap ever again. And I haven’t voted for a democrap since 1984.
Ghouls
Hey Me Too, how many girls are murdered in the womb?
…liberals sure want to kill their babies…just a matter of time before they claim the “right” to kill YOURS, too…ask China how that’s worked in the past, and look at AOCs response to babies impacting “climate change” for how it will work in future…weird thing is, they will probably decide which babies are more harmful to the environment based on the parent’s politics…
And remind me, who’re the real NAZI’s?
God Help Us.
If there was any question who was behind every piece of legislation that deprived humanity of its God-given rights in this country, this should clear up any confusion and settle the argument once and for all. Democrats and their Leftist ideology are a horror show.
It won’t be long now, be ready for it.
Looks like a hand full of “Republicans” voted against this with the dems. Who were they? I want names.
When leftists talk about an increase in volcanic activity I tell them it’s because of all the pro abortion types going straight to hell. THAT fires em up! Way too much fuel in those fires.
They know it’s a baby. THEY HAVE ALWAYS KNOWN.
