[WND] "The Democrat Party has apparently abandoned the modicum of respect for innocent, helpless, human life that led many Democrats in Congress to support the BAIPA [Born Alive Infant Protection Act] in 2002. Anti-life Democrat ideologues, prevalent among them now, have surrendered that shred of decency. Despite their loud denunciations of that surrender, GOP members of Congress and Trump administration officials will be suspect if they do not ask President Trump to end the long, bipartisan failure to see that the BAIPA is faithfully executed." ("U.S. law already protects infants who survive abortion")I made the suggestion quoted above in an article I wrote about a week before beginning work on this one. I thought it worthwhile to point out the equal protection of the laws that should already safeguard the lives of babies who survive an abortion. In light of that fact, politicians who pretend to care about their fate can be held accountable for their failure to do or demand action that the Supreme Law of the Land already requires.
The BAIPA of 2002 passed both Houses of Congress by large majorities that included most of the Democrats. But only three Democrats voted to support the similarly intended bill defeated in the U.S. Senate last week. Apparently, the party of pre-natal abortion has decided to "hoist the jolly roger." They openly flaunt their intention to impose the death penalty on innocent newborn persons who have the effrontery to evade that unjust sentence. So, the party of abortion now confesses the truth many of us have always told: They are the party of infanticide as well.
Tragically, some of the people who profess to deplore what they point to as a shocking change may themselves be acting disingenuously. After all, when the Democrats chose Barack Obama as their nominee for president in 2008, they anointed a bold advocate of infanticide as their party’s standard bearer. Everyone who supported or failed to oppose Obama had no excuse for not being aware of this fact.
Though I was not the first or only one to do so, as his opponent in the 2004 Illinois election for the U.S. Senate, I repeatedly pointed out Obama’s shocking embrace of infanticide. Along with other dutiful proponents of the God-endowed, unalienable right to life, I decried the travesty of the ungodly honor the University of Notre Dame bestowed upon him in 2009, falsely proclaiming him a "Doctor of Laws" despite his adamant rejection of the "laws of nature and of nature’s God" in light of which the People of the United States first declared their existence as a free people, and entitled to govern themselves as such.
