Born Alive Bill Will Be Major 2020 Issue
|
[Free Beacon] House Republicans want to hold Democrats accountable for the party's near-unanimous opposition to caring for babies who survive abortion.
The GOP is pushing a bill that would force doctors to provide life-saving care to babies who survive abortions. The Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act failed in the Senate after only three Democrats crossed the aisle to support it, falling short of the 60-vote threshold. The Democrat-controlled House has blocked a similar bill from even coming to a floor vote, leading congressional Republicans to launch a discharge petition to rescue it from dying in committee.
GOP whip Rep. Steve Scalise (R., La.) is spearheading the petition drive. His outreach effort to Democrats, however, has only yielded three signatures‐putting him 18 votes short of getting the bill out of the Judiciary Committee. Scalise said Democrats will not be able to dodge the issue.
"I hope they recognize that the country is paying attention now," he said.
Late-term abortion gained national attention after New York adopted a bill that allows abortion up until the point of birth and prevents people accused of murdering pregnant women for being charged with the death of the unborn baby. The debate over the issue reached its peak when Virginia Democrat governor Ralph Northam, a career physician, defended allowing a newborn to die on the table unless the mother approved of resuscitation. Scalise said lawmakers will have to answer for their failure to act on the bill, even if they do not actively vote against it. Blocking the discharge position, he said, is tantamount to a vote in favor of infanticide.
