House Democrats voted against a motion to recognize unborn babies as “vulnerable populations” Friday.
Republican Washington Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers presented a motion to amend H.R. 535, a bill requiring the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency to declare certain chemicals as hazardous and take “vulnerable populations” into account when developing drinking water standards.
Rodgers’ motion suggested protections for unborn children exposed to these chemicals and aimed to include unborn children in “vulnerable populations.”
“Republicans today stood for the most vulnerable among us – the unborn,” House Leader Kevin McCarthy told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “It is sickening that Democrats have used their majority to stand with their socialist base rather than with the most defenseless in our society.”
Two-hundred-and-nineteen House Democrats voted against recognizing unborn children as “vulnerable populations,” including New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar, and Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib.
Four Democrats voted for the motion: Utah Rep. Ben McAdams, Minnesota Rep. Collin Peterson, Illinois Rep. Dan Lipinski, and Texas Rep. Enrique Roberto “Henry” Cuellar.
“When it comes to pregnant women that are at risk, there are two people at risk,” McMorris Rodgers said Friday. “The pregnant woman, and the unborn child.”
The Washington representative pointed out that the unborn child is “the most vulnerable population” in need of protection.
“This motion to recommit is simple, it’s clear, it’s direct. It clarifies the protection of vulnerable populations must include any unborn child,” McMorris Rodgers added. “Yesterday Chairman Pallone recognized the potential harm these chemicals can have on child development. Today, Speaker Pelosi reiterated the importance of protecting expectant mothers. By rejecting this amendment, you would be further denying the science of the development of a child in the womb.”
McMorris Rodgers did not respond to a request for comment from the DCNF.
Party of Death.
This is why the DEMOCRATIC party needs to be eliminated or converted away from the being devil’s helpers.
They have been called Obligate Parasites, so that’s probably one step above garbage.
Science says they’re human beings at conception.
NON-science says there’s no such thing as Global Warming.
Go Figure. They’re in a parallel universe.
Maybe they’d change their minds when it can be shown they’d be new voters.
Virtually nothing more than homunculus.
Barely classifiable as human.
.
The Democrats aka Demoncrats are showing that their true leader is Satan.
The votes of the Rats themselves is evidence that the unborn are “vulnerable populations.”
Or how about One Life = One Vote. Parents get extra votes according to the number of kids they have, born or in the womb. The Dems would immediately outlaw Planned Parenthood.
This past Thursday, the City Council of Rusk, Texas voted to become a Sanctuary City for the Unborn.
