Senate fails to pass bill protecting infants surviving abortion
liveaction.org ^ | 2/25/19 | newsroom

Today, the United States Senate voted on an anti-infanticide bill introduced by Senator Ben Sasse (R-Neb.), the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act. The legislation needed 60 votes to pass, and it failed by a vote of 53 in favor and 44 against. The bill stated that “if an abortion results in the live birth of an infant, the infant is a legal person for all purposes under the laws of the United States, and entitled to all the protections of such laws.”

The 2002 Born Alive Infants Protection Act, signed into law by President George W. Bush, established that any child born alive — even as the result of an abortion — is to be legally considered a “person”, “human being,” “child”, and “individual” in federal law. However, that law contained no penalties for those who choose not to follow it. Senator Sasse’s bill included penalties for abortionists who break the law, including a fine and/or imprisonment for up to five years.

Only in committee, not on the floor.

If conception doesn’t create a citizen,
if quickening doesn’t create a citizen,
if being born doesn’t create a citizen,
when does it become a crime to kill you?

I am very, very tired of stories that don’t call out the Democrats for filibustering. A majority of the Senate voted for the bill. It failed only because the Senate dems filibustered.

The US Senate cannot unite behind the most vulnerable citizens - newborn babies.

Pray for our Republic.

Why would the “evil ones” for for it? It removes food from their tables. They eat babies.

I agree. This should be a huge issue from now and into the 2020 elections.

If an unborn child, or a recently born child does not even have the right not to be horrifically tortured to death, how can a child be born as a citizen, or have the rights of a US citizen?

I guess maybe only anchor babies have the specific right to life, now granted by our new government god!

I’m ashamed of 47 senators.

That went straight to my heart!

We’re not. But yes, between the Democrats and Hollywood, the country does a very fine impression. I can see why people believe this.

Yeah I did see Manchin. Wish he’d switch to R.

Democrats are almost 100% lockstep on murdering fetuses.

Murkowski is a coward.

And shameless about it.

Then again, their minds are probably completely reprobate at this particular point, so not much of a surprise, I suppose.

Funny how this needs 60 votes but blocking the national emergency doesn’t. Things that make you go hmmmm

More than the votes I’d be interested in the explanation used to vote for this. Repukes aren’t good at actually getting the Dems defending this nonsense. There should be a Republican on every channel debating Dems on this issue. Useless
