Ok, so let’s just say that you are a responsible
member of Congress. And a bill has been
introduced to your body (it really doesn’t matter whether it’s the House or the
Senate and neither should it matter, for the purposes of this bill, what party
you are a member of) the purpose of which is to require babies born alive
during an abortion be provided with reasonable medical care and transport to a
hospital. Would you, as a responsible
member of Congress, choose to support such a bill? Now I know to most that
sounds like a real no-brainer, but if very recent behavior by Democrats is any
indication it’s apparently it’s not the no-brainer that most normal people see
it as.
Because it was just such a scenario that recently
took place in the U.S. Senate when just such a bill was introduced, and what do
you think happened. Exactly what you’d
think would happen, because what took place is that we had Senate Democrats,
led by Democrat Patty Murray, block it. And
for those who may be unfamiliar, Nebraska Republican Ben Sasse introduced the
Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act (S. 130) to protect babies who have
survived failed abortions. Sasse went to
the floor of the Senate Monday to ask his colleagues to pass the bill by
unanimous consent, but that Democrats, as I’m sure Sen. Sasse knew they would,
unanimously objected.
Referencing the recent firestorm created by the
Virginia bill known rather nondescriptly, as the Repeal Act, introduced by
Democrat Delegate Kathy Tran and supported by Democrat Gov. Ralph Northam,
Sasse said, “This place fancies itself the world’s greatest deliberative body,
but we would be deceiving ourselves if we ignored the biggest debate that’s
been happening in America over the last 36 hours. A public elected official —
the Governor of one of the 50 states — has been defending a practice that is
morally repugnant. The Governor of Virginia has been defending a practice that
is repugnant to civilized people across the entire world.”
The Born-Alive Act states that Congress acknowledges
an “infant” born alive during a failed abortion “is a legal person for all
purposes under the laws of the United States, and entitled to all the
protections of such laws.” The bill also states, “Any infant born alive after
an abortion or within a hospital, clinic, or other facility has the same claim
to the protection of the law that would arise for any newborn, or for any
person who comes to a hospital, clinic, or other facility for screening and
treatment or otherwise becomes a patient within its care.” I don’t know about anyone else, but that all
sounds pretty reasonable to me and in no way does it sound the least bit
extreme.
Under this piece of legislation, health care providers
who fail to provide medical care to an infant born alive after abortion can be
fined or imprisoned for up to five years, or both. And also according to the
Born-Alive Act, the intentional killing of an infant born alive after abortion
“shall be punished as … intentionally killing or attempting to kill a human
being.” How is it that after committing
murder against anyone other than the most defenseless among us, you at least go
to prison? Why should anyone who commits
such a heinous act be permitted to go scot-free? And so, it would seem that the new mantra of
the Democrat Party is: ‘The only GOOD baby, is a DEAD baby.’
And an act that was just as barbaric and which came
just prior to the controversy over the Virginia bill, which would allow
abortion even moments before birth, it was in New York that 2020 Democrat
presidential hopeful, Andy Cuomo, signed a bill into law that denies
“personhood” to unborn babies. Under
Cuomo’s law, violence against an unborn child during a homicide is no longer
criminally punishable. So there now
seems to a rather disturbing trend that’s now spreading, much like some vile
plague as Democrats in Rhode Island and Vermont have also proposed bills that
would strip most restrictions on abortion and declare the procedure a
“fundamental right.”
Keep in mind that all of this going on at that same
time that we had a recent Marist poll which found 75 percent of Americans want
substantial restrictions on abortion, including 60 percent of Democrats and 61
percent of those who identify as “pro-choice.”
So I’m a little confused when it comes to how it might be that Democrats
like ‘Little Patty’ Murray can claim what they’re really doing here is in the
name of creating a substantial restriction on abortions. Is it me? Am I missing something here? I know I’m nowhere near as sophisticated as ‘Little
Patty,’ but to the casual observer what the Democrats are advocating here is nothing
short of disgustingly grotesque.
What kind of an evil monster would you have to be to
take some instrument to a crying baby, one just delivered or who had survived a
botched late-term abortion, and use that instrument to snuff out the life of
that helpless infant? And who is it that
could use an instrument to crush the skull of a viable fetus who could survive
a premature birth? Apparently, Democrats
have no moral dilemma in such an act of murder. Incredible! And how is it that ANY self-respecting
physician would allow himself, or herself, to be used by a political party as
its weapon of choice against a defenseless baby at the most vulnerable time in
its very young life? Disgusting!
But I am curious about something. Remember how it
was just a few months back when we had the rather unfortunate situation of
having two children die while in the custody of our Border Patrol and how quick
Democrats, especially those vying to take on the president in 2020, were in
their effort to essentially weaponize the death of those children. What is it that made the lives of those
children any more valuable than the millions of those that Democrats seem so
eager to kill? Democrats always tell us how it’s about the children, but which
children? Only those fortunate enough to
escape the abortionist? But sadly, now even
those haven’t made it home free.
So this would appear to be where we are now, as a
country, and who is it that could have seen that coming? Certainly not me! And while 60 percent of Democrats can ‘claim’
to want “substantial restrictions on abortion”, certainly there is someone who is
voting for Democrats like Murray, Cuomo and that moron, Northam, in Virginia. After all, there is still a requirement for
obtaining higher office, having won an election. Hell, it’s only 25 percent of Virginia
Democrats who disapprove of Northam. So
you see it’s not only the Democrat politicians who have blood on their hands,
it’s anyone who is willing to either support, or worse to vote for, ANY
Democrat!
