After enduring more than 80 rejected requests for a hearing on their "Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act" bill, Republicans in the House of Representatives held their own "hearing" to call attention to their effort to pass this legislation. The legislation would require medical personnel engaged in performing abortions to render aid to any baby that survives the attempt to kill him or her.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) explained that "it is pointless for us to have hearings on a bill that will never be enacted. Our Democratic Caucus has already decided that once a woman has decided to abort her baby there should be no legal impediment to achieving the desired outcome. The fact that a small fraction of those targeted for termination accidentally escape the death that has been decreed for them doesn't change the moral equation. No woman should have to endure the fate of unwillingly bringing another person into the world. Republican arguments that these abortion survivors could be raised by adoptive parents still inflicts the aborting mother with an unwanted inheritor of her genes existing somewhere in the world. This is wrong. We can never abide allowing the right to an abortion to be undermined in this way."
Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders praised Pelosi for "a courageous decision to uphold the principles of democratic socialism. The world is already severely overpopulated with wanted children. There is no good reason to add to this excess by saving the lives of children who are unwanted. Our progressive efforts to encourage women in Africa and Asia to abort more of their offspring would be muddled if we allow this Republican legislative monstrosity to take root in the United States."

“Our Democratic Caucus has already decided that once a woman has decided to abort her baby...”
She should be solely responsible to take the child’s remains with her as she leaves the “clinic”.
NO MORE KILLING CHILDREN TO SELL THEIR “PARTS”!
Correct me if I am wrong but would not infanticide be murder?
Illegal in any jurisdiction.
Certainly immoral in any jurisdiction, but several states have passed laws that permit post-birth termination of the baby.
