Senate Rejects Measures to Protect Infants – Born and Unborn – By Dr. Susan Berry (Breitbart) / Feb 25 2020
The Senate failed Tuesday to garner the 60 votes required to pass two pieces of legislation that would protect babies – born and unborn.
The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, which would ban abortion past the fifth month of pregnancy, was rejected 53-44.
The Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which would require babies who survive abortion to be provided with the same medical care as any newborn of the same age born prematurely, was also rejected, 56-41.
“Refusing to support a measure that would provide life-saving care to an infant who survives an abortion and is born-alive, is condoning infanticide,” said Tony Perkins, Family Research Council president. He added:
Continuing to allow this practice of either actively or passively allowing born-alive babies to die, as Virginia Governor Northam has advocated, is crossing the line from civilized to barbarous. The efforts in Congress to protect these babies should not stop, and voters have a moral duty to vote against those who condone infanticide.
Republican Sen. Ben Sasse of Nebraska, who introduced the Born-Alive bill, challenged Democrat senators to go beyond the talking points provided to them by Planned Parenthood in considering his bill.
