Born-Alive Act: Pelosi, Schumer melt down after new bill requires care for babies born during failed abortion
The Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act passed the House 220-210; Democrats were the only 'no' votes
Fox 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.

The only Democrat in the House of Representatives to vote in favor of giving babies medical care if they're born alive after an attempted abortion was Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX).

 Rep. Vicente Gonzalez (D-TX) voted present.

Democrats Argue That Taking Abortion-Surviving Babies to the Hospital Will Endanger Their Lives
By streiff | 1:00 PM on January 12, 2023

Wednesday, the House of Representatives passed the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act by a party-line vote of 220-210, with Democrat Vicente Gonzalez (TX-34) courageously voting “Present.” The bill is concise and very simple. It states that a child that happens to survive the horror of the abortuary has the right to receive the same level of medical care as any other human. This quote is from the bill; you can read the whole thing at this link.

    (1) DEGREE OF CARE REQUIRED; IMMEDIATE ADMISSION TO A HOSPITAL.—Any health care practitioner present at the time the child is born alive shall—

    “(A) exercise the same degree of professional skill, care, and diligence to preserve the life and health of the child as a reasonably diligent and conscientious health care practitioner would render to any other child born alive at the same gestational age; and

    “(B) following the exercise of skill, care, and diligence required under subparagraph (A), ensure that the child born alive is immediately transported and admitted to a hospital.

     

    “(2) MANDATORY REPORTING OF VIOLATIONS.—A health care practitioner or any employee of a hospital, a physician’s office, or an abortion clinic who has knowledge of a failure to comply with the requirements of paragraph (1) shall immediately report the failure to an appropriate State or Federal law enforcement agency, or to both.

Follow-up: how is refusing life-saving care to a child after they are born (what your whole party voted to do yesterday) “reproductive healthcare”?

So 'choice' now includes post-birth babies living outside the womb breathing air.  These people are evil.

Not to mention the legal jeopardy - That child is BORN and by definition is AN AMERICAN.

Good point.

I'm having a hard time trying to understand why this is even an issue.

Me neither. It's unnatural. The very furthest thing from natural is mammas killing their babies.

What if the mother suffers a life-threatening injury while undergoing an abortion?  Isn't she hours away from that same hospital?  Isn't the abortion procedure itself detrimental to the life of the mother?  Same logic applies, right?  By her reasoning, we should outlaw abortion.

Am I understanding this correctly?  After saying that, did she still argue against passage of the bill?

Yes. She quite clearly doesn’t understand the Bible. And if she’s been a church-goer, she’s had some bad theology preached to her.
