It is time for Democrats to join Republicans and say that BIRTH MATTERS. Pro-choicers have claimed for years that they care about babies after birth- now is the time to prove it. Let's see this bill guaranteeing medical care to the most helpless members of the human species pass with no opposition.
Providing medical care to infants who are born alive and trying to survive after an attempted abortion should be something that we can all agree on. Tragically however, Oregon does not afford this basic protection of human life, thanks to pro-death malthusian eugenicists, and so Congress must act on its responsibility to enforce the guarantees of equal protection of ALL races and abilities under law.
Let's put bigotry, racism, and ableism behind us and speak out strongly for the least of these. If we can't even do that, how can we possibly claim to be a moral nation?
Please vote “Yes” on the Born-Alive Survivors Protection Act when it comes before the House. The bill would make sure that health care providers give the same needed care to these children as any born at the same age. The need for this legislation is real. The CDC reported that over 140 children died after surviving an abortion attempt from 2003 to 2014 and, with difficulty in reliable reporting of such events, even admitted this was likely an underestimate. And the cause? Quite often these third term abortions are urged by ableist and racist doctors who look at the potential cost of treating disabilities or the color of the mother's skin, in recommending the abortion in the first place!
The House Judiciary Committee in years past has heard testimony about the brutal ways in which such children can be left to die in bags or closets. Women and their children deserve better. Please vote “Yes,” and work toward meaningful solutions for mothers in need that affirm life and offer hope.
