The Senate is considering a bill that would require medical care to be given to babies who are born alive after a failed abortion. The Senate Democrats have filibustered the bill. This afternoon, the senate voted 56 to 41 to end the filibuster. There had to be 60 votes to stop the Democrats' filibuster, so the bill is now dead.
Think about that. Senate Democrats, and ONLY Senate Democrats, voted to deny medical care to babies born alive if an abortion fails. Senate Democrats voted to let babies die after birth is their mothers wanted them aborted.
I do not care where one comes down on the issue of abortion during the early portion of pregnancy. An abortion at 3 months is very different than one at eight months where the child survives and then is just left to suffer and die because the mother no longer wants the child. These babies are American citizens. They are people, not fetuses (if you make that distinction). They are entitled to the right that each of us have to LIFE, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Before Roe v. Wade, there was a congressman, Father Drinan, who was a Catholic priest. He often said that when asked about abortion in the case of childrens with birth defects like Downs Syndrome or the like, that why not let the baby be born and then, if it had a birth defect, it could be put to death. He wasn't serious. In 1970, the idea that a baby would be left to die after birth was unthinkable, even for those who supported abortion.
How did the pro-abortionists get to the point where they think that leaving a baby without care so that it will die after a botched abortion is a moral or proper thing to do.
What's next? Will the abortionists propose that mothers who have children but change their minds within the first six months can have the babies killed -- I mean aborted-- at that point?
The people who voted to bar treatment to these children born alive are monsters.
And by the way, every Democrat presidential candidate holds that position.
