Friday marks the 45th March for Life in Washington, D.C. Tens of thousands of pro-life activists have arrived in the nation's capital to defend the rights of unborn children. What better day to pass a piece of legislation that protects those precious lives.
PASSED: The Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act. All life is worthy of our protection, and as representatives of the people, it is our responsibility to make sure our laws reflect that. pic.twitter.com/kQtuMg2Esm— House Republicans (@HouseGOP) January 19, 2018
The Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act passed by a vote of 241-183. Many would agree that it's not only a piece of pro-life legislation, but one that is rooted in common sense. As you can see by the numbers, however, not everyone thought it was a good idea to try and save babies who had survived an abortion.
The law ensures that abortionists treat a baby who survived an abortion the same way they would treat any other baby, and give them medical care needed to keep them alive, Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) explained on Twitter. Any abortionist who refuses to take care of the child will face the following penalties:
This bill contains criminal penalties or enforcement mechanisms to punish abortion providers who fail to give medical attention and care to these infants. It mandates that any child born alive after a failed abortion be transported to a hospital instead of remaining in the care of the abortionist. It requires that health-care practitioners and hospital employees report violations of the law, and it institutes penalties for the intentional killing of a born-alive child, including fines and up to five years imprisonment. The bill would also grant the woman on whom the abortion is performed civil cause of action and protection from prosecution if her child is not cared for after birth. (National Review)
Six Democrats voted for the bill: Matt Cartwright (PA), Henry Cuellar (TX), Jim Langevin (RI), Dan Lipinski (IL), Collin Peterson (MN) and Tim Walz (MN).
For the first time in history, a sitting president addressed the March for Life. Speaking from the Rose Garden, President Trump noted that more and more Americans support abortion restrictions.
"Every child is a precious gift from God," he said.
my Lord Almighty! Just how evil, sick, Satanic, and hateful can the communistic leftist Democraps get?????????????!
Murder Inc. Lives.
Incredible . . . Have they any idea of what they’ve stood for? Babies “accidentally born thru a botched abortion are routinely left to die in medical waste bins or put in closets where they can’t be heard during their dying moments. Absolutely incredible . . . alive, breathing humans deliberately murdered instead of being offered to the fathers, grandparents, or adoption agencies . . . . What has happened to the Democratic Party?
and what is their argument for allowing the children to be murdered?
The living child is most certainly, no longer a part of the woman’s body.
So in fact, it is cold blooded MURDER!
Top Democrats: I’m a Christian but I just like killing babies.
“The Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act passed by a vote of 241-183.”
When the revolution comes I look forward to those 183 sick bastards being put up against a wall and then aborted by a firing squad.
It all boils down to killing kids.
45 years later, infanticide is essentially as legal as it was the day Roe v Children came down. Nice that the gop thought to pass legislation that’ll nibble around the edges and save a few kids, but the horror continues apace. At this rate we’ll see infanticide made illegal in, what, maybe 150 years?
Actually, I’m more hopeful than that. We’ll see infanticide become illegal about a month after the last “clinic” closes for lack of business. So Maybe a generation or two.
Politics is a scam and we’re suckers for playing
Very sick people.
Why yes. Yes he did.
Not sick, but evil.
I think it was when he was a state senator in Illinois.
They will all be judged by their creator one day. No doubt about how they will fare.
Is there a difference? Does one exclude the other?
There is no such thing as a safe abortion. Someone always dies.
Yes he will.
The Lord will look at what was possible and to whom it was possible.
Jesus reminded the world that murder begins to get its grip from hell in the heart, yielding evil wishes and thoughts about one’s neighbor as its fruit. Quite a bit of rot transpired before Roe v. Wade ever took the formal lid off of its expression. America was already ready to cease caring. The lack of love brings its own punishment. The misery is built in. Idols that can’t satisfy, whose purported powers fall short of fulfilling anything but superficial desire, are passionately pursued. Don’t talk about mere possible future judgment; we are watching and enduring it now.
