Democrats block abortion bill in Senate
By Jordain Carney - 02/25/19 06:31 PM EST

Senate Democrats blocked legislation on Monday meant to respond to a political firestorm sparked in Virginia over "late-term abortion."

Senators voted 53-44 on the legislation from Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.), which needed 60 votes to advance.

Democratic Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), Doug Jones (D-Ala.) and Bob Casey (D-Pa.) voted to proceed to the bill. The legislation would penalize doctors who fail to "exercise the proper degree of care in the case of a child who survives an abortion or attempted abortion."

Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) touted the bill ahead of Monday night’s vote, where it was widely expected to fall short, urging Democrats to reject “extreme voices” within their own party.

“It isn’t about new restrictions on abortion. It isn’t about changing the options available to women. It’s just about recognizing that a newborn baby is a newborn baby. Period,” he said.

Despicable.  It make me sick to my stomach just to think how immoral these elected leaders are.

How can any person object to taking care of a baby born alive?

What is the alternative?

Murder the innocent kid?

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....

....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.

Daily Caller, Feb 25, 2019

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.

Republican Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski didn’t vote

She hasn't been a Republican since 2010. Let's admit it.

Yes she has. And that's the problem.

I'm guessing some Senators really didn't give a sh1t since it had no chance of passing the House.  For President Trump and all those shocked by the vote I'd just like to say get a clue.

Oh, that's really big of you to say, it's just infanticide.  Wow, just wow. It's good to spotlight the Devilcrat party on this. It's good to be able to say "look at the Democrats on this",


Klanned Parenthood, Puppet master of the Democratic Party.

So nobody cares about infanticide? Wow, just wow... if this isn't that, it's sure close and I'd definitely call it that.

If in the late 1950s, those for civil rights equality were in the minority, one could just say "who gives a ____, bills not going to pass anyway.", that certainly takes a lot of integrity (sarcasm off).
