By a v**e of 53-44, the Senate has failed to pass the Born-Alive A******n Survivors Protection Act, which would have required doctors to provide medical care to infants born alive after an attempted a******n procedure. The bill — sponsored by Senator Ben Sasse (R., Neb.) and cosponsored by 49 of his fellow Republican senators — needed 60 v**es to overcome the legislative filibuster.

Just three Democratic senators crossed the aisle to v**e with Republicans in favor of the legislation: Bob Casey Jr. (Pa.), Joe Manchin (W.Va.), and Doug Jones (Ala.).

All six of the Democratic senators currently running for the 2020 p**********l nomination v**ed against the bill: Cory Booker (N.J.), Sherrod Brown (Ohio), Kirsten Gillibrand (N.Y.), Kamala Harris (Calif.), Amy Klobuchar (Minn.), and Elizabeth Warren (Mass.), along with Independent Bernie Sanders of Vermont.

During the floor debate over the bill this afternoon, several Democratic senators said they planned to oppose the legislation because they believe it limits women’s health-care options. “That is the actual intent of this bill, reducing access to safe a******n care would threaten the health of women in Hawaii,” said Mazie Hirono (D., Hawaii).

..............
Several Republican senators pushed back against the Democrats’ efforts to portray the bill as an attack on women’s health care. “I know a lot of opponents of this bill sincerely believe the talking points that they read from their staffs,” Sasse said. “We’ve heard speech after speech after speech that have nothing to do with what’s actually in this bill.”

.........

While all the Democrats who v**ed against this bill tried to portray it as an attack on woman's heath care, consider Joni Ernst (R., Iowa) reply: “This bill does not address a******n. . . . What this bill does is address the health care of a baby that is born alive after a botched a******n. We’re not talking about a******n, folks. We’re talking about the life of a child that is born.”

If a baby is born alive, doesn't he/she have AUTOMATIC entitlement as a human being to life saving measures?


If a baby is born alive, isn't it MURDER to k**l him/her?

Why was this bill ever needed? Don't drs take the Hippocratic oath to save lives?

If a doctor took the oath they are voiding it!

Too many modern day physicians take a Hypocritical Oath instead of the Hippocratic Oath. There are no punishments for a physician that takes and then breaks his oath.

True. Mostly because the oath is not legally binding. I looked into this a while back and was quite surprised.

This bill failing should wrap up a win for Trump in ‘20 by a big margin but sadly, devout Dems & Trump h**ers care less about babies’ lives. It is all about power for Dems. One day they will stand before the Creator & give an account.

This is cold hearted even for those who support a******n.

The world appears to be on a crash course with its maker and it won't be pretty either.

It is beyond my comprehension and ability to put into words the depths of evil and depravity it takes to wilfully allow penetration of the soul's heart to k**l it. For surely this must first occur before anyone can advocate and promote a******n and believe it to be good. The most innocent of all humanity murdered in the sanctity of their mother's womb.

It seems to me that those that decided to run for office and they came to Washington D.C. that somewhere along the way they sold their souls to the devil and have gone off on the wrong track and I can't believe that any job in politics is worth it to lose your soul and all of eternity for. It seems that the longer they serve the more perverse they become and for that reason alone it would be wise to have term limits on those that serve to protect them from themselves or at least all of the others.

Count yourself blessed that you can't comprehend that kind of evil. I know not all democrats support this but the leadership does as do all those who are running for president.

I am a female and do not believe it's my right to murder because of my sex. The demoncraps use the feminist movement to committ MURDER! All that signed the bill that was submitted for infancide are committing MURDER, GENOCIDE and should be arrested not remaining in office to represent American Citizens!
