U.S. House passes Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act
Today, the U.S. House of Representatives has passed H.R. 4712, also known as the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, by a vote of 241-183. 235 Republicans voted in favor of the bill, along with six Democrats (Cartwright, Cuellar, Langevin, Lipinski, Peterson, and Walz). According to Congress.gov, this bill had 131 co-sponsors and “amends the federal criminal code to require any health care practitioner who is present when a child is born alive following an abortion or attempted abortion to: (1) exercise the same degree of care as reasonably provided to any other child born alive at the same gestational age, and (2) ensure that such child is immediately admitted to a hospital.â€
Democrats in opposition to the bill, such as Reps. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.) and Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) — both of whom have received campaign funding from the abortion industry and who immediately demanded an end to the Select Investigative Panel on Infant Lives, which eventually resulted in several criminal referrals against various members of the abortion industry — rose and claimed that the bill was not necessary, and that the 2002 Born Alive Infants Protection Act already prohibits the killing of abortion survivors. But in the reading of the text of that Act (BAIPA), it lists few penalties, or “teeth,†so to speak, should an abortionist violate the Act.

It's something, I would have voted for any GOP candidate, that are pro-life, Cruz, Kasich, Bush, Trump.
Where do people fall on the litmus test? If you aren't pro-life, are you even conservative? Where are those griping about Trump all the time to be found on this issue? We'd be watching ISIS continue to be very powerful as well without the GOP in the White House. Cruz is very passionately pro-life, his supporters? Don't ask.
