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.

If it were possible to file a professional negligence complaint against certain members of the Senate, this would be a time. After all, Senators swear to uphold the law, that law is presently in place and it cannot be upheld if it is not enforced.

Perhaps a DA or AG in a friendly state will find an ideal case and charge a doctor with homicide. That state SC will affirm and it will be appealed to the USSC.

And Donald Trump thinks he won the Senate.


He knows we won the Senate, but he also knows the reality of how our Senate rules are set up.

Of which, he (unfortunately) has no control of.

“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.”

yes, there sure are a lot of Satanic people nowadays, largely in politics....but some elsewhere too (including in some churches and synagogues, wolves in sheep’s albs....alas!)

i am amazed just how many evil people there are!

(but, still. the majority is good.......however, a determined, organized, and well-financed minority can take over an entire country.. just ask the Germans ...and I do fear that the extremist leftwing DNC-commie-nazi types could do almost exactly the same to USA as the ‘national socialists’ did to Germany, and with almost exactly the same awful politics too)

Tim Scott DID vote on the Miller cloture vote at 6:12, so he has explaining to do.


Wonder what someone has on him...

Not buying it. They can always vote by proxy.

Yeah but wouldn’t have made a difference though they needed 60 votes, should have gone for 51 if that was possible

“U S Senate can make their own rules.”

That may be. But it does not mean that those rules are constitutional. Think about it. What if the senate made a rule that only 10 people had to vote to pass a bill. Rules like this should be struck down by the USSC. People need to wake up to these abuses.

We have some really evil people at the helm!! The dem party is going to give the next election to TRUMP!! They don’t know the mind of the people..

We are not there yet... but given enough time... let the older folks die off... have voters who don’t remember or know what the good times were.. who are illegals... who don’t know right from wrong.. and these evil nuts will have their day... and it will be the end of the greatest country!

Their ideas that you hear, they are telling you anything to get your vote.. salving the minds.. but there is no way they can give you everything free.. there isn’t enough tax dollars to pay for YOUR keep. There won’t be anything.. just power given to the evil side of humanity.
