Hardly a day goes by that there is not an article in the news about a child being beaten, tortured, raped, forced to work as a slave, or similar malady. It is as wicked as it comes in my mind to abuse our children. Child pornography and rape is fast becoming the norm in our society. It seems as though the American public has become desensitized to the value of human life, especially our children. Now the rage in the liberal community is to allow innocent babies to be slaughtered right up to the moment of their birth. If the baby survives the abortion, these Democrats want the right to allow the child to die with no attempt of resuscitation.
Breitbart reported on their website: “Yesterday Senate Democrats – led by Washington Sen. Patty Murray – blocked a bill that would require babies born alive during abortion to receive reasonable medical care and transport to a hospital.
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. 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,” the legislation continues. “Under the bill, 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.”
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.” Jill Stanek, a former nurse who witnessed late-term babies born alive during abortion procedures and left to die, said, “It is appalling to watch Democrat senators argue against this compassionate bill. Pleading ignorance is not an option especially in the wake of efforts in New York and Virginia to legalize infanticide,” she said. “Everyone should be able to agree on equal protection under the law for these children.”
Just prior to the controversy over the Virginia bill – which would allow abortion even moments before birth – New York Democrat Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed a bill into law that denies “personhood” to unborn babies. Under the law, violence against an unborn child during a homicide is no longer criminally punishable. Now, Democrats in Rhode Island and Vermont have also proposed bills that would strip most restrictions on abortion and declare the procedure a “fundamental right.”
This morning I was organizing my photos and I came across a photo of four of my grandchildren. It is impossible for me to imagine someone intentionally killing or harming one of these kids. They are so full of life, love, and joy. To me they are worth fighting for even to death. I would imagine that many reading this column feel likewise about their children and grandchildren. Shouldn’t we feel the same about all children? Politics has no place in this argument. Senator Sasse from Nebraska said as much when he introduced this legislation. This is a moral issue and one of our humanity. Write your Senator and Congressman today even if you have never done so before. I truly believe the people in this nation will be judged for not standing up against this satanically inspired attack on our children.
