Colorado House panel kills bill that would mandate medical care for babies born alive after abortions

Colorado legislators have rejected a bill that would grant legal protections for babies born alive after abortions, yet another state-level flare-up over the hot-button issue.

House Bill 1068 threatened $100,000 fines for physicians who fail to "exercise the same degree of professional skill, care, and diligence to preserve the life and health of the child as a reasonably diligent and conscientious physician would render to any other child born alive at the same gestational age." It also required that any born-alive child be immediately transferred to a hospital.

“Colorado’s legislative hearings on late-term abortion show just how extreme and entrenched the pro-abortion lobby has become," Katie Glenn, an attorney with Americans United for Life, told Fox News.

Both that bill and a 22-week ban on abortions were rejected along party lines in the House State Veterans and Military Affairs Committee on Tuesday, Colorado Politics reported. Several pro-choice activists spoke out against the bill on Tuesday, but some argue it was doomed from the start.

"Here at the Capitol, these bills never get a fair hearing," House Republican leader Patrick Neville told Colorado Politics. "They're sent straight to the kill committee. They're given orders to be killed in that kill committee. The only way we're going to get a fair hearing is with the public at the ballot box."

Glenn, who testified at Tuesday's hearing, argued that Colorado's legislation provided needed protection for infants who weren't born at facilities covered by the federal Born Alive Infant Protection Act. According to Glenn, that bill only applied to hospitals operated or funded by the federal government, whereas the state legislation would go beyond that.

"Specifically the Act establishes a physician-patient relationship between the child who survives an abortion attempt and the physician who attempted the abortion," Glenn said in testimony.

How would the bill restrict abortion access unless babies who survive attempted abortion are currently being left to die?

** Baby “accidentally born alive” during an abortion = is murdered, infanticide (or, 1st degree murder)

** Baby born from illegal alien in our country = full medical care, free college, (fill in the blank)________

Funny how the accidentally born baby is not a full citizen of our country and gets no protection of our Constitution, but the illegal alien’s child gets full protection of our Constitution.

They love letting women play god and be able to legally murder another person, and be celebrated for it.

That’s why.

This is, I believe with all my heart, why God has abandoned America..too much innocent blood spilled.! America’s government system has shed toooo much innocent baby blood! We fought evil but evil fought back! Their blood is in our hands too.. complacency killed millions upon millions of babies! Forgive us father God ...forgive us!

God ultimately has the final say for these murderers and accessories to the murderers of His Creation and it won’t be pretty. As a senior citizen I have to ask the question “just what kind of parents raised these idiots?”

Feminazis want this. They are very happy to kill born babies whom the mother wanted to kill, so as to keep a firm hold on their precious abortion. Democrats let them kill babies to keep the votes and dollars coming.

I wouldn’t give a f*ck if we had a civil war to punch the left in the face and establish FULL Constitutional rights to the unborn. My mind cannot grasp the depravity of the left. They are pure monsters and live in a horror show that they think is normal.

Democrats have photos of Josef Mengele on their walls at home, atop an altar filled with votive candles. Democrats are beyond ghouls.

Believe me, if Democrats thought they could get away with it they’d eagerly and happily exterminate everyone who did not think as they do.
