Can't make it up:
YOU REALLY CAN'T MAKE IT UP:
Democratic Representative Jerry Nadler of New York objected to the part of the bill that instructs doctors to bring the struggling baby to the hospital after administering care.
"The problem with this bill is that it endangers some infants by stating that that infant must immediately be brought to the hospital," he said. "It directs and mandates certain medical care that may not be appropriate."
Democratic Representative Jan Schakowsky also argued that taking the child to the hospital after treatment could be harmful. The legislation "requires immediately taking a struggling baby to a hospital. That hospital could be hours away and could be detrimental to the life of that baby," she said.
Imagine a congressman arguing that a gunshot victim shouldn't be brought to a hospital because it might endanger their life.
Here's what the bill that House Republicans passed on Wednesday does:
The Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act would require that treatment be administered to fetuses who survive botched abortions. Under the bill, health-care practitioners who witness a child's birth after a failed abortion are mandated to perform life-saving "professional skill, care, and diligence" and ensure the child is transported and admitted to a hospital afterwards if the birth took place outside of one. Any medical employee of a hospital, physician's office, or abortion clinic who has knowledge of a physician's negligence to provide care must report the case.
And here's how Dems responded:
On the House floor, Democratic Representative Suzanne Bonamici called the "born-alive" bill "extremist, dangerous and unnecessary."
Saving babies that survived attempted murder = extremist, dangerous, and unnecessary.
Dems right now:
There's more:
Democratic House Whip Katherine Clark said the name of the bill was "deliberately misleading and offensive to the women who face pregnancy complications and the doctors and nurses who provide their care." The bill is also not based on "science," she alleged.
Okay, so the Dems propose something like "The Inflation Reduction Act," which does nothing to reduce inflation but actually increases it, and that's just fine.
So are other Orwellian bill names like the "Equality Act," which would have compelled speech by mandating what you can and can't say about the LGBT Rainbow Cult.
But the Republicans come out with a bill called the "Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act" that [checks notes] protects survivors of abortion that are born alive, and it is "deliberately misleading."
As for science, I'm not sure how providing life-saving care to a human being is anti-science, but the Dems have been awfully fast and loose with the Scienceâ„¢ the past few years.
Then there's this:
The GOP also proposed a resolution asking Congress to condemn recent attacks on pro-life facilities, groups, and churches since the Supreme Court's leaked decision that overturned Roe v. Wade. The text cites many incidents of violence and vandalism, including break-ins and firebombings, against pregnancy centers and churches perpetrated by pro-abortion terrorists over the last year. On Wednesday night, the resolution also passed the House, with all Republicans approving and all but three Democrats opposing.
There's been nearly 80 attacks on pregnancy centers, churches, and pro-life organizations over the past 6 months.
All but three Dems voted against a resolution that would condemn such terrorist attacks.
And impose Scripture in their justifications:
Some Democratic House members invoked their religious beliefs to justify abortion, claiming that Christianity condones the procedure.
"As a pro-choice Christian who chose life, this issue is personal to me… When I read scripture, I turn to Jeremiah 1:5 which states ‘I knew you before I formed you and placed you in your mother's womb.' It doesn't say the government's womb," Democratic Representative Hillary Scholten said before the chamber.
Yeah... the God who formed those children and has poured out His wrath on those who committed child sacrifice in the past might have a thought or two about that.
I'm starting to think lefties like branding their ideological opponents extremists while supporting political violence against little kids and churches!
