Born-Alive Act: Pelosi, Schumer melt down after new bill requires care for babies born during failed abortionThe Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act passed the House 220-210; Democrats were the only 'no' votesFox News, Jan 12, 2023
Senior Democratic lawmakers took to Twitter shortly after the House passed the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which requires doctors to provide care for infants born alive after a failed abortion, to criticize the Republicans who supported the "extreme" bill.
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-NY, and Vice President Kamala Harris were among those who responded.
"Today, instead of joining Democrats to condemn all political violence, [House Republicans] chose to push their extreme anti-choice agenda," Pelosi tweeted Wednesday.
She added, "Democrats believe everyone deserves the freedom to access reproductive health services – without fear of violence, intimidation or harassment."
"Democrats will always defend reproductive freedoms against extreme Republicans who disrespect a woman’s right to choose the size and timing of her family," she said. And, "These are serious, personal decisions that must be made by women guided by faith, physician and family — not by politicians."
Schumer, who did not vote on the bill as he is a senator, responded similarly.
"The MAGA Republican-controlled House is putting on display their extreme views on women’s health with legislation that does not even have the support of the American people," he wrote.
