democrats voted to allow the murder of children. Of course, they won't call it that.
The bill stipulated:Senate Democrats on Monday blocked a Republican bill that would have threatened prison time for doctors who don't try saving the life of infants born alive during failed abortions, leading conservatives to wonder openly whether Democrats were embracing "infanticide" to appeal to left-wing voters.
All prominent Democratic 2020 presidential hopefuls in the Senate voted down the measure, including Bernie Sanders of Vermont, Kamala Harris of California, Cory Booker of New Jersey, Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts. The final vote was 53-44 to end Democratic delaying tactics -- seven votes short of the 60 needed. Three Democrats joined Republicans to support the bill -- Joe Manchin of West Virginia, Bob Casey of Pennsylvania and Doug Jones or Alabama. Three Republicans did not vote, apparently because of scheduling issues and plane flight delays -- including Kevin Cramer of North Dakota, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Tim Scott of South Carolina.
The Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act would have required that "any health care practitioner present" at the time of a birth "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."Here's the thing. Born alive babies have Constitutional rights. I know that's something which makes liberals wretch but it is true. The 14th Amendment:
"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.""born in the United States"
"Nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law"
That makes any baby born alive - attempted abortion or not- a citizen of the United States and has all the rights and privileges of a US citizen and afforded the above.
Withholding care to such a newborn is a violation of the Constitutional rights of the baby. It is murder.

Ah, I see the problem. You are under the misguided notion that Democrats are constrained by laws.
...besides, what’s this thing called a “Constitution”? Isn’t that a relic of the ancient white patriarchy? We live in more enlightened times now where anything goes.
It is a very short step from the State sanctioned killing of babies to the State sanctioned killing of adults. It would not surprise me if it has not already been taken. That the plans to do so have been drawn up and are only awaiting for the murder of infants to become socially acceptable to be executed.
Right - instead of receiving SS when you’re eligible or age 65 whichever is sooner, off the the death clinic with you.
Exactly right...it’ll be cheaper for the STATE and the money they would have spent on you will be much better spent on other things like indoctrinating children.
We are now sliding down an extremely slippery slope with, seemingly, no brakes.
At least President Trump called them out on this today in powerful tweets.
Abortion is restricted to unborn. This will get thrown out by the Supreme Court.
It will be easy to sway post-Boomer generations to consider euthanizing the elderly to be a reasonable policy, for sure.
Everyone who voted for this is a MASS MURDERER!
DEMON CRATS
Thing is the retirement/hospic’s group would get all upset over the $$$$ they’d be losing warehousing those seniors.
All those pro-abortionists should be aborted, retroactively.
Let them experience what they are pushing for.
“This will get thrown out by the Supreme Court.”
And who will have standing to fight this?
The baby? The “father”?
Yes, but the abortion business is a huge money maker for those ghouls. They would love to dispatch elders to increase their business. Of course, that is a one-time fee, not the multi-year recurring fees that “retirement homes” get.
There won’t be a successful legal fight before the fact.
After the fact you’ve got a murder vic.
We’ll have to rely on murder prosecutions acting as a deterrent.
“Withholding care to such a newborn is a violation of the Constitutional rights of the baby. It is murder.”
And it is also an illogical narrative by the left. Once the baby is born, there is zero chance of the baby harming the mother. Being that there is no danger to the mother, it clearly is infanticide and both the doctor along with the mother should be guilty of murder.
I thought we all had the pursuit of LIFE liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Democrats want ALL of the babies unwanted by their mom dead. They don’t care what the Constitution says. There are to be NO survivors.
