Democrats block Senate bill requiring medical care for babies that survive abortion

Senate Democrats on Monday blocked an effort to pass legislation clarifying that babies who survive attempted abortions must receive medical care.

Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., rejected the motion to pass the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, authored by Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb., and co-sponsored by other Republicans. Sasse had sought to pass the bill via unanimous consent, meaning that one senator could stop it by objecting.

"You’re either for babies or you’re defending infanticide," Sasse said before the vote.

GOP senators were aiming to pressure Democrats to state whether they believe any limits should be placed on abortion after controversial comments appearing to indicate otherwise from Democratic Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam.

Northam and Virginia Del. Kathy Tran, both Democrats, appeared to indicate last week that they supported a state bill that would allow abortion at the time of birth. Tran later said she misspoke.

The bill had the backing of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., who said during his opening remarks on the Senate floor Monday that the legislation was "the very definition of something that might receive unanimous consent."

"What could be more unanimous than this? ... It's harrowing this legislation is even necessary," McConnell said.

Indeed! And there are a great many who will continue to vote for them regardless.

Based upon what several liberal states have done, there is nothing preventing those states to pass laws that allow the killing of infants born after abortion failures.

The laws regarding murder remains the domain of the states.

I'm convinced that DEMS have no sense of morality left, nor a conscious.
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

I knew.... when Barack Hussein Obama... the only Illinois senator to vote against giving medical care to live, fully formed infants in botched abortions (the rest of the Democrat senators voted for it)... was elected President of the United States.... despite his past radical "baggage"....

that we here in the USA were on a down-trend (straight to Hell) of Biblical proportions.

This just cements what I already knew.

You are so right.  It seems that evil and corruption is growing and prevailing over good.  **nononono*

Yeah... that's always how the Father of Lies makes it seem.... with the help of his minions in the leftist media and in political circles.   God is still in control, however.   Despite the left's ""best efforts" to the contrary.

God is in control.  Thank's for the reminder.  I needed that.

Yeah, that's how I read it too.  If the Reps were serious they wouldn't have tried the unanimous consent thing.

No wayJosé, it depends on what one means, a publicity stunt.   Sasse did right, now we are shown that the Democrats are so ornery, one of them would even block this. He exposed them. They are lower than alligator p-ss.

Nonsense, we (meaning everyone) already knew this about them.

I'd like to know at what age of the baby the mother and her doctor forfeit the right to kill it.... One hour?  Six hours?  One month?   How long is the child to be kept comfortable while others discuss the murder?

This Senator Patti Murray blocked it.

The Republicans really should rub the Democrats' noses in this every chance they can. Pure evil.

Perhaps. But now the Democrats can be labelled the Party of Death, and "baby killers".  (ironic, wot?, considering what they said about our guys coming home from Vietnam.)

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I'm excited to see the GOP flexing it's bigger post-2018-election gains.  I guess President Trump was right that the 2018 elections were a "tremendous success."

I'm kidding of course.  I am disgusted that the GOP can't even pretend to give a damn about the unborn.  It's not like anything would pass the rat House, but seriously...I've lost that lovin' feelin'.  They won't even lie to me anymore.

Meh, that label has been appropriate for them for years.

Ahhh yes Patty Murray...the woman who once said that Osama bin Laden is popular in poor countries because "he helped pay for schools, roads and even day care centers."

As do laws regarding abortion, according to the Constitution.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

-Ayn Rand-
