Weeks after the Arizona state Senate passed a pro-life bill containing several protections for babies in the womb, the Arizona House advanced the bill. Now, Senate Bill 1457 heads to Republican self-described “pro-life” Gov. Doug Ducey’s desk to be signed into law.

“In addition to banning the targeting and extermination of babies with prenatal diagnoses such as Down syndrome, SB 1457 seeks to halt the deadly expansion of the abortion pill by mail, a campaign Big Abortion is pushing at the cost of women and children. If signed into law, this legislation will also require dignified treatment of the bodies of aborted babies,” reports Live Action. 

According to Live Action:

State Senator Nancy Barto, a Republican official who previously served in the State House prior to the 2021 election, sponsored the bill. She said in an interview with EWTN, “More and more children throughout the world and the United States are being singled out for abortion, and they are the most vulnerable among us.” It is estimated that over two thirds of babies diagnosed in the womb with Down syndrome in America are aborted, and 90% worldwide are killed for the same diagnosis. 

According to a recent Marist poll, the majority of Americans do not support discriminatory abortions, with 70% opposing killing children based on a prenatal diagnosis such as Down syndrome. This includes 56% who identify as pro-choice, 59% who are Democrats, and 70% who are Independents. The majority’s disapproval of discriminatory abortion sheds light on the horror of abortion at large — if targeting certain demographics like disabled babies, female babies, or Black babies is wrong, then how can the practice of directly and intentionally killing any preborn child be acceptable? The answer: it isn’t. 

Some other states have passed or are seeking to pass similar legislation to protect their most vulnerable citizens. It’s time for the rest of the States to join them, but not to stop there. It is time to end abortion completely.

Do you think Gov. Ducey should sign this bill to protect disabled infants and ban the abortion pill by mail?

Texas, Arizona and the rest of the states also must declared that their residents can’t be taxed by the federal more than the state income tax, and eliminate the federal income tax for corporations that will keep the companies in those states and produce more jobs and more income, the feds are trying to eliminate the sovereignty of the states the states must eliminate the feds power grab.
The states must keep their sovereignty and their laws must supersede the fed government imposing a tyrannical regime.
