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.

Well He might, but then again...

1 Peter 4:17
For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?

I DO believe that America is the last major domino to fall before the Tribulation. Now I can’t prove that Biblically. It’s just my gut.

There won’t be much of anyone standing to support national Israel after we fall.

And America barely does that, oftentimes (Carter, Clinton, Obama - gee all Democrats....)

After that - it’s Israel (alone) vs. the World - which pretty much IS prophesied.

The New World Order is just looking for its Antichrist for a 7-year peace plan and then eventually betraying Israel. /preaching to the choir

[SaveFerris]

There’s a timetable. The appointed times and seasons.

They do seem to be close.

[SecondAmendment]

It’s official, Democrats are the party of evil!

Agree with that. I’ve wondered for decades about that prophecy but I do believe we will have a remnant. Lot’s of countries are starving for the Word of God. I just wonder how badly oppressed until He returns. I’ll look up Haller. Without a search his name sounds familiar, have all the Chuck Missler MP3’s( kinda old now) and think Haller is similar?

[Roman_War_Criminal]

Very similar - they are long, but good.

I’d say we’re on the side of righteousness Mr Ferris. That video of the mark of the beast is right here, right now. They only have to create rules and regulations and bam, it’s done.

It sure won’t take much to get it going, that’s for sure.

I’m sorry but I think this was a bad bill. I have read of late term abortions where the skull is crush so it is an easier “birth” on the mother, or where the limbs are torn off for the same reason. A baby born still alive with a crushed skull can’t be saved. Plus how will complicit doctors and abortion providers be trusted to follow a new law. The tide has been going in the opposite direction. And I don’t think this can be solved in steps. I think the best solution is to define personhood through legislation. Science advances at a rapid rate but they can’t say when a life begins? They are a bunch of life deniers IMO. A personhood amendment defining a life when a heartbeat is detected would eliminate these horrific abortions. Women need to take responsibility for their fertility. Use abstinence, birth control, not just rely on an abortion.

Trump: Democrats 'Now So Extreme That They Don't Mind Executing Babies AFTER Birth'

(CNSNews.com) - On his way to Vietnam last night, President Donald Trump tweeted his disgust at the Senate's failure on Monday to break the Democrat filibuster of the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protect Act:

Senate Democrats just voted against legislation to prevent the killing of newborn infant children. The Democrat position on abortion is now so extreme that they don’t mind executing babies AFTER birth.

This will be remembered as one of the most shocking votes in the history of Congress. If there is one thing we should all agree on, it’s protecting the lives of innocent babies.

As CNSNews.com reported , all but three Senate Democrats -- including all of the confirmed and possible 2020 presidential contenders -– voted Monday to block legislation requiring a baby born alive during a botched abortion to receive the same level of care as any other newborn infant.

While the Senate voted 53-44 to advance the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, the result fell short of the 60 votes needed to break a Democrat filibuster.

Earlier this month, Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) blocked an attempt to pass The Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act by voice vote, which means the Senate needs 60 votes to advance the legislation.

[SaveFerris]

Democrats worship death.

Democrats are definitely the party of death, as several FReepers have noted.

[Old Retired Army Guy]

If the 2002 Act specifies that a Child born alive is a Human Being, how can the killing of that child not be Murder?
