House Democrats have become the ‘party of infanticide’
Washington Examiner ^ | January 12, 2023 | Quinn Hillyer

When Ramesh Ponnuru in 2006 authored a book describing Democrats as “ The Party of Death ” (the book’s title), it was met with outraged howls from that party’s fellow travelers in the establishment media.

On Jan. 11, every Democrat but one in the House of Representatives left no doubt that the moniker is morbidly, sickeningly appropriate.

By a slim 220-210 margin, the House on Wednesday passed the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, with only one Democrat voting in favor. The point of the bill is straightforward and, in any morally-sane universe, would be so uncontroversial as to attract unanimous support.

In those rare, but not negligible number of cases in which a baby outside the womb survives an attempted abortion , the bill would say health-care practitioners have an affirmative duty to provide medical care. This goes beyond a 2002 federal law officially recognizing such babies as “persons,” but which specified no explicit duty to provide care nor provided penalties for failure to do so.

As John McCormack explains in incontrovertible terms (which I won’t rehash here other than to refer readers to his piece ), each of the excuses offered by Democrats for opposing the bills are deeply, howlingly dishonest.

The larger point, though, should not be lost in the Democrats’ obfuscation and in pro-lifers’ detailed refutation thereof. The larger point is that only a perversely, pathologically twisted moral outlook could possibly even seek to make excuses for failing to provide care for any infant born alive.

Once the infant is directly breathing air on its own, there remains not even the fig leaf of the argument that it isn’t a fully human person because it is still “part of the woman’s body.”

The Democrats' gruesome but unspoken logic is that a woman choosing to abort has the right to a dead baby. Giving an unwanted baby for adoption would make her feel guilty for not raising the child, so somehow it is better to kill it.

They say unborn babies aren’t human beings. They also told slaves that.

Agree. They didn’t just suddenly become baby killers. They have always been the party of death.

The Dems have been the party of infanticide at least since 1973.

Only seven replies. How pathetic. I sent the text and a narrative to at least 40 on my email list.

Can’t people understand these Democrat legislators established a line for defense of abortion within their party that includes those born alive despite attempted abortion. Why so little outrage? Why not a 100 comments?

Well if Democrats are so he’ll bent on killing babies outside the womb then I have a suggestion. How about no time limit outside the womb and ALL THESE DEMOCRATS ABORT THEMSELVES!!

If Democrats believe what they say, then Kill Yourselves. Show us just how committed to murder you are. Damn Cowards won’t do it, but I can dream.

The RAT perverts worry all the time about “human rights”. Why isn’t the right to life a “human right”. These babies are are having that right taken away from them by a bunch of college trained chimpanzees.

If Conservatives would invoke ‘Rules for Radicals’:
Pregnant DemonicRats would be vilified and there would be no DemonicRat children.
