The Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act is a commonsense measure brought forth by Rep. Ann Wagner (R-MO) to protect children who survive botched abortions by requiring doctors to provide them basic medical care if they are born alive.
But Nancy Pelosi is blocking the life-saving measure from even receiving a vote on the House Floor, leading Republicans to file a discharge petition to force a vote on the critical measure. In the prior 116th Congress, multiple Democrats signed onto the bill while Democrats had an expanded majority between 2019-2021. Now, with the new Congress, there is a greater opportunity for the bill’s passage.
Rep. Kat Cammack (R-FL) and Marjorie Dannenfelser of Susan B. Anthony List write for Life News:
The Born-Alive Act is both a fix for a longstanding problem and a response to growing Democratic extremism. This bill would simply ensure that any infant born alive after an abortion receives the same standard of care as any newborn baby.
It’s shocking that anyone would object to this requirement, which Americans overwhelmingly support — yet the Pelosi Democrats have blocked it for two years. If 218 members sign our petition, it would force the full House to vote. A record-breaking 202 members signed it on the first day, including 29 women — 19 of whom are new in Congress this year.
If just five Democrats join all their Republican colleagues and sign the petition, this bill will finally get the vote it deserves. That’s it. Surely there must be five Democrats who will stand up to Nancy Pelosi and defend the littlest of “little guys.”
But if members of Congress cannot even draw a line at infanticide, they don’t belong there. The pro-life movement will work day and night to educate voters and hold them accountable in the 2022 midterm elections.
Across the country, defenseless infants are fighting for their lives. They need us to fight for them. We hope every constituent will contact their legislators today and demand a vote, and we urge the Democrats to listen to the people. It’s time to stop the obstruction and end infanticide in America.
Why won’t Nancy Pelosi stop infanticide and let the bipartisan bill have a vote?
What? You mean the good and upstanding wear my religion on my sleeve when it suits my purpose Catholic Nancy Pelosi? Cant be. Lets see what the good Catholic Joe Biden has to say. I’ll wait
Did any1 expect IN THE POCKET OF PLANNED PARENTHOOD Pelosi 2 care about human life?
Pelosi is evil!! Corrupt & disgusting
Pelosi is a ruthless witch. She only cares about her own well being and probably delights in the deaths of infants.
God will punish her, soon.
All dems get money for their campaigns from Planned Parenthood, they show they care zero about anyone else but themselves.Pelosi must be expelled from Congress she doesn’t even live in the district she represents.
Maxine Waters have been inciting riots since 1992 in the Rodney King beating because he failed to stop while intoxicated and had the LAPD chasing him for hrs and was mocking them in Pacoima CA, Waters has a history of inciting riots she MUST BE EXPELLED from Congress she doesn’t even live in the district she represent.
