Tim Walz Signed Bill Allowing Infanticide, Letting Babies Die Who Survive Abortions
Life News ^ | August 6, 2024 | Steven Ertelt

Kamala Harris just selected Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate and she could not have picked a more radically pro-abortion activist to join her ticket.

Walz signed a bill to allows abortions up to birth. But he also put his signature on allowing infanticide, letting babies die who survive abortions.

Babies survive abortions every year, including five in 2021 just in Minnesota. But the state no longer protects their lives.

Minnesota Democrats took control of the state legislature in 2023 and quickly passed a series of radical pro-abortion bills. One repealed a state law that required medical providers to provide medical care for newborns who survive abortions and report the situation to authorities.

In 2021 alone, five babies were reported born alive, according to data from the Minnesota Department of Health.

The report provides more details than most about what happened to the babies:

In one instance, fetal anomalies were reported resulting in death shortly after delivery. No measures taken to preserve life were reported and the infant did not survive.

In two instance, comfort care measures were provided as planned and the infant did not survive.

In two instances, the infant was previable. No measures taken to preserve life were reported and the infant did not survive.

The report mentions “previable” with two of the babies, raising questions about whether the other three babies were viable. It does not mention their gestational ages.

But the bill Walz signed leaves them totally unprotected.

The Omnibus bill, SF 2995, was largely crafted behind closed doors without input from Republicans on the conference committee. The bill stripped out Minnesota’s existing requirement that reasonable measures be taken to “preserve the life and health” of born-alive infants, replacing it with a requirement for “care,” which the bill’s House author, Rep. Tina Liebling (DFL-Rochester), has described as mere “comfort” care. Under the new language, an infant could be denied lifesaving care and allowed to die.\

In support of repealing the protection for newborns, some lawmakers falsely claimed that the repealed language required inappropriate or futile attempts to save the infants’ lives. Instead, the repealed law simply required “reasonable measures consistent with good medical practice.” Disabled babies, whose lives are often devalued, could be especially at risk from the denial of this basic protection.

Reacting to the action, Renee Carlson, general counsel with the Minnesota Family Council, said their state now has one of the most “extreme abortion regimes” in the U.S.

“Based on elusive claims about access to abortion and with insufficient public notice or debate, the Minnesota legislature and Walz administration created one of the most extreme abortion regimes in the country,” Carlson said this spring. “Minnesota’s newly elected Democratic trifecta created a fundamental right to abortion by repealing, and thus removing, nearly all health and safety protections in civil and criminal law regulating abortion, impacting women and young girls.”

Other bills that Walz signed included taxpayer funding for abortions, and the repeal of a program that provided resources to assist “pregnant and parenting women in developing and maintaining family stability and self-sufficiency.” Pro-life pregnancy resource centers were involved in providing these services, making the program a target of pro-abortion activists.

Democrats clearly think they can steal the election so they could use a VP this far left.

Minnesota First Lady says she left the windows open during the 2020 BLM riots to smell the burning tires and soak in the moment

Her daughter was also caught leaking National Guard plans to rioters so they could avoid arrest

This family is sick

Is Walz the one who said if the baby is born, we’ll set it aside until the mother decides what she wants to do with it?

Or something like that.

Does anyone doubt that this was an Obama pick? Same demonic lack of concern for innocent life. Same lack of values.

If you’re a Democrat or “moderate Republican,” this isn’t a flaw; it’s a feature.

The level of evil Tim Walz exudes is difficult to understand. I can’t imagine how this pick will gain Harris one vote. If Harris ends up needing help winning Minnesota, she will already have lost.

If we want an abortion issue to resonate with (just about) everyone, it's late term abortions, especially to include babies already, or in the process of being born.

Lots of good points to make.

Photo of triumphant, elated Walz on Drudge Report shows at least 11 children smiling and trying to get closer to hug him.
That shows Dems are covering up the opposite. Those children didn’t die by abortions, no thanks to the Left and Walz.

especially to include babies already ... born.

The technical term for that should be infanticide. To make it sound all warm and fuzzy, it is peri-natal hospice care.

That or a "reproductive right"?

Planned Butcherhood sells parts and Kamala’s AG office was complicit in confiscating this video until now.

That was Virginia governor Northam, a pediatrician who casually made the remark on "ask the governor" on WTOP news radio. I was driving and listening live.

I wonder how the evil mofo would feel about his own abortion? No big deal, it could simply be termed: “a post-partum abortion in the 168th trimester”.

Tim Walz has punched the baby killer ticket to join the evil Culture of Death. Soon DemonKKKrats like him will join the likes of the Hamas in putting babies in ovens and cutting off the heads of women as they rape them. The men who can’t keep their pants zipped up or use protection from STDs are members of the unit.

Even if there is a male birth control remedy, no method will address the transmission of STDs, other than the use of condoms.
