It should, but isn’t it sad that we have to come up with a persuasive legal argument to make infanticide illegal?

The Right to Life isn’t about “regulation”.

Well, let's see.

Planned Parenthood doesn't like doing abortions beyond say 20-21 weeks...due to high insurance costs...and insurance companies don't like insuring the abortion industry beyond about that time due to extreme medical malpractice insurance risks...

So, this bill might save what % of the Nebraska pre-born again?

If you've got perhaps one abortionist doing abortions that late in NE, it's not effecting the bulk of those at risk.

Thank God indeed. However, I will note that I’m not a huge fan of the illegalization route.

Legislation is going to follow the culture in this case, not vice versa. I do think that infanticide will eventually become illegal in the U.S., but I also think it will happen about 2 months after the last “clinic” shuts it’s doors due to lack of business.

I want to see the “clinics” shuttered whether it’s through legislation or lack of business. I just don’t see the legislation route paying the dividends in saved lives that we’ve seen through working to shift the culture and through math.

“Maybe it will qualify as cruel and unusual punishment ???”

I prefer the 5th amendment approach; “...(no person shall) be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.”

Define the fetus as a person and demand that they have the same due process rights as anyone else who is facing a capital crime. And when the legal decision on each case is resolved by the courts in 5-20 years as it is with other capital cases, I guess the point will be moot.

“I’m not so excited. cows and pigs can feel pain. How long before PETA uses this pain argument for their agenda?”

Well, if it comes down to trading steak for live infants, I think I would be OK with becoming a vegetarian.

Congratulations! :*)

I agree, the babies start moving around much earlier than 20 weeks, and I believe they feel pain earlier too...still, this LAW is a start!! I am praying to someday see the unborn given their proper rights as U.S. citizens instead of being treated as less than nothing! :*)

I have a guess

The Left should be in favor of this. After all, they're forever concerned about whether or not vicious murderers feel the least bit of pain during their executions.

It amazes me that in this day and age of 3D/4D ultrasound technology, that idiots out their in liberal land STILL claim "Oh, it's not a "real" BABY until it actually takes a breath after it is born!!"

This video should be BY LAW, REQUIRED VIEWING FOR MOTHERS CONSIDERING ABORTING THEIR CHILD IN EVERY ABORTION CLINIC IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!!

Inhuman, inhumane, and EVIL-- and someday they will stand before GOD and justify taking the lives of His precious little ones!!

PETA already has made these arguments. That’s why this is so beautiful.

God Bless you and your unborn child. It is an amazing and exciting time that I think back on with great fondness. Perhaps because I am a man and never had to do any of the hard work...lol.
Nonetheless, I have a great appreciation for what mothers endure and enjoyed being right next to my wife the entire time.
Prayers for your good health.

I do have an acquaintance who is rabid pro-abortion and she will tell you straight out abortion is murder but it doesn't matter because its the mother's choice.

I just can't grasp how someone would think the mother has the right to murder her own baby...and given what you've said that is exactly her position. So does she think the mother has the right to murder the baby at say age 3 yrs?
