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.

Your numbers are wrong because 3 “Republicans” didn’t vote.
Psalm 106:38:
And shed innocent blood, The blood of their sons and daughters, Whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan; And the land was polluted with blood.
They love murder over life. Demonic.
Pol Pot had his killing fields, this is no less horrific.
First they came for the unborn.
Then they came for the just born.
Next???
We have crossed the Rubicon.
“And Donald Trump thinks he won the Senate”
How do you know what the president thinks?
What’s your implication?
“However, that law contained no penalties for those who choose not to follow it.”
You need a special penalty spelled out for murder?
Senator Sasse’s bill included penalties for abortionists who break the law, including a fine and/or imprisonment for up to five years.
This is the F#@$#$@$@#$@$ max? For murder?!!!!!!!!
53 voted for. Exactly party line. Two either abstained or were absent, among the Dems, the rest of whom voted against. They took the bait.
agreed!
It’s official, Democrats are the party of evil!
“We have crossed the Rubicon.”
And I am 63 years old with cardiovascular disease...
Scary times indeed.
Nothing most all in FReeperville bon’t know but the dems write the script, the Reps hem and haw then most just vote in unison. They’re selling us down the river of immorality. God help us.
They're not safe until they outlive the remaining 2/5ths.

Prayers up! The Lord still has work for you to do. :)
You are wrong.
“Three Republican senators did not vote on the bill: Kevin Cramer (N.D.), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), and Tim Scott (S.C.). According to their communications directors, both Cramer and Scott missed the vote due to flight delays.”
So that they don't have to accomplish anything except show votes.
You are right. Shot my foot from the hips.
But I’m still right that those that voted against have taken the bait.
Maybe it would pass if they compromised: An infant that survives abortion should be treated as an illegal alien, and separated from its mother by evil ICE agents (just gleaned this from Rush, except for the twist I put at the end).
Our nation is in deep doo-doo with God. I sure hope He spares some of us or maybe the harpazo? It’s scary what our elected leaders have done. How does one fight back when they’ve unleashed the hounds of hell? It’s a true spiritual battle, “...On earth as it is in heaven.” Isaiah’s words are as valid now as ever before.
