<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Democrats believe that late-term and live-birth abortions should be legal even though the developing human being could survive outside the womb – and some 70 percent of Americans believe that such abortions should be illegal in all but extreme cases.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As if that is not bad enough, the Democratic Party has made it clear that they support the termination of an infant’s life that has survived an abortion &#8230; that has been born &#8230; that is now officially a baby, not a fetus.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We know that by the fact that EVERY Senate Democrat voted to block the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act. ; Very simply, the Act would require life-saving medical care for any infant who has survived an attempted abortion – who was born alive. ; Looking at it another way, the Act would prevent killing a child who has been born alive. ; Of all the grisly aspects of abortion-on-demand at any time, the idea of killing a live born baby is the worst.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If such a child was born prematurely unassociated to a planned abortion, it would be considered murder to summarily kill &#8212; or even withhold care to &#8212; the newborn. Medical staff would work feverishly to save the love of a premature birth. Making a distinction between the two circumstances is moral and ethical hypocrisy of the worst kind because it is a matter of life and death.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Yet &#8230; in a 52 to 47 vote, EVERY Democrat in the Senate voted against the Act and in favor of post-birth terminations. ; They claimed the Act is unnecessary and would present a legal threat to doctors. ; In fact, the only legal threat to doctors is to those who break the law and kill a viable newborn baby. ; To not provide care – life-saving care – would be a violation of the doctors’ Hippocratic Oath “to do no harm.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Personally, I am shocked that political party solidarity is so strong on the Democrat side of the aisle that not a single – not one &#8212; Democrat would be morally offended by the very idea of terminating the life of a newborn baby (like the preemie pictured above).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Oklahoma Republican Senator Markwayne Mullin bemoaned the fact that, “Democrats can’t even concede that a baby, born alive, should receive medical treatment if they survived an abortion.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Two of the Senate’s newest GOP members &#8212; Florida’s Ashley Moody (named to replace Secretary of State Marco Rubio) and Ohio’s Jon Husted (named to replace Vice President Vance) – cast their first Senate votes in support of the right to life. ; Good for them.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On the general question of abortion, I understand that my pro-life position is a minority opinion. ; But, in terms of outlawing late-term abortions, I am among the overwhelming majority in opposition. That is even more true in terms of so-called live-birth abortions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I honestly cannot understand how an entire political party can take such an extreme pro-abortion position. ; But it is what it is.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So, there ‘tis.</p>

Democrats support post-birth infanticide
