BREAKING : 210 Democrats vote against bill requiring medical care for babies born alive after abortion attempt
Wednesday voted against legislation that would require immediate medical attention for babies who are born alive after an attempt was made to abort them.
Republicans argued on the floor that comments from Virginia’s former Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam are an example of why the law needs to be clarified to protect newborn infants who survive abortions. Northam was talking about third-trimester abortions and appeared to indicate support for delivering babies that might still be alive before taking their life outside the womb.
Nonetheless, Democrats overwhelmingly rejected the bill. Some, like Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., argued that the bill would set up new requirements that would"directly interfere with the doctors’ medical judgment and dictate a medical standard of care that may not be appropriate in all circumstances." Representative Jim Jordan, a Republican from Ohio, argued in favor of legislation calling for medical care for abortion survivors, a bill Democrats widely rejected.
Rep. Suzanne Bonamici, D-Ore., also cast the bill as an attempt to ban abortion, and said it is"extremist, dangerous and unnecessary." Some Democrats said the bill is unnecessary because it is already illegal to kill newborn infants, but Republicans accused Democrats of opposing the legislation to further their radical agenda of abortion on demand.
