It deeply saddens me that our two senators, Amy Klobuchar and Tina Smith, voted NO to the “Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act (S.311).” This is a commonsense bill protecting children who have been born alive. The bill needed 60 votes but failed 53-44. All who voted NO were democrats. How is it possible that infanticide is a partisan issue? Should not both political parties agree that once a baby is born alive that the child has a right to receive health care and the right to expect the doctor to help, not kill? We are going down a very slippery slope. Who will be next….the disabled, the mentally ill, the elderly, you, me?
