Democratic Senators Refuse to Outlaw Infanticide
Commentary
With the exception of Sens. Joe Manchin and Bob Casey Jr., Senate Democrats just endorsed infanticide. OK, perhaps that’s a tad overstated. The more charitable view is that they just aren’t opposed to killing some babies.
Here’s the story: For the third year in a row, Democrats filibustered passage of the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) tried to insert into the COVID-19 relief bill. The amendment needed 60 votes but only received 52 all 50 members of the Republican caucus and the two aforementioned Democrats.
Why would 48 senators refuse to oppose infanticide? Is the proposal a surreptitious attempt to impose “The Handmaid’s Tale” that tired feminist cliché about women forced to carry babies they don’t want on an unsuspecting public? Hardly. The bill wouldn’t force any woman to do anything with her body. Indeed, it wouldn’t prevent a single abortion.
