The Lunatic Fringe

Following on the heels of Democrat presidential hopeful Sen. Kirsten Gillebrand’s preposterous statement equating those of us who are pro-life with racists, a fake gringa representing the 35^th Congressional District in California said on the House floor, “Mr. Speaker, it is tiring to hear from so many sex-starved males on this floor talk about a woman’s right to choose.”

That moronic comment came from Rep. Norma Torres (D-CA) during a debate on a spending bill for the Department of Health and Human Services.  Rep. Ross Spano (R-FL) opposed the legislation pointing out it weakened protections against federal tax dollars being used to fund abortions.  Spano said, “For more than 40 years, this country operated under the policy that not one cent of taxpayer money can be used to fund abortion. We are a nation that deeply values religious liberty.”

In March of 2013, Alisa Lapolt Snow, a lobbyist representing the Florida Alliance of Planned Parenthood Affiliates, testified before the Florida House to oppose a law requiring abortionists to provide care for babies born alive during botched abortions in the starkest terms possible. 

Snow told the Florida legislature that if a child is born alive during a botched abortion, its survival “should be left up to the woman, her family, and the physician.”

In response to the new abortion law in Georgia and legislation in Alabama, National Public Radio restated its long-standing guidance regarding abortion and related topics.

“One thing to keep in mind about this law and others like it: Proponents refer to it as a ‘fetal heartbeat’ law. That is their term. It needs to be attributed to them if used and put in quotation marks if printed. We should not simply say the laws are about when a ‘fetal heartbeat’ is detected. As we've reported, heartbeat activity can be detected ‘about six weeks into a pregnancy.’ That's at least a few weeks before an embryo is a fetus.”

“The term ‘unborn’ implies that there is a baby inside a pregnant woman, not a fetus. Babies are not babies until they are born. They’re fetuses. Incorrectly calling a fetus a ‘baby’ or ‘the unborn’ is part of the strategy used by anti-abortion groups to shift language/legality/public opinion.”

Joy Pullman, mother of five and Executive Editor of The Federalist noted, “…since newspersons deal in daily atrocity and gore from the likes of wars, famines, and hurricanes, it’s hard to understand why they all drive out to gawk at the law-breaking foreigners Americans feed, give medical care to, clothe, protect, and transport, but want to stay as far away as possible from other vulnerable people our society allows to have their heads mortally pierced with scissors or a scalpel inside their own mother’s wombs.”

It would appear Torres alienated her constituents well before yesterday’s reprehensible remarks:

Innocent Life Vs. The Party Of Infanticide

Babies are being killed because some adults think life is a game.

Last week, Virginia Governor Ralph Northam, openly expressed the Democrat position on abortion:  there is no obligation to protect the life of a child who was indecorous enough to survive an abortion when she was obviously not “wanted”.  In other words, the right to an abortion is the right to an “effective abortion” or a dead child.

The premise of the Born-Alive Infants’ Protection Act of 2002 was if a child survived an abortion it had the same claim as any other human being to the protection of the law.

The problem back then was President Bill Clinton was set to veto the bill if the civil and criminal penalties were not stripped from it because defenders of abortion like the National Organization for Women vehemently opposed efforts to protect any child born alive.

If a child born alive is nothing less than a human child with a claim to protection by the law, how is it different from the same child five minutes, five days or five months earlier?

The right to abortion, proclaimed in Roe v. Wade, extended through the entire pregnancy and possibly gave the license to kill the child after birth.

The bill became impossible to enforce and nurses began telling stories of babies surviving late-term abortions being put in rooms to die without any care; without even a blanket.  Sometimes they are killed by lethal injection, asphyxiation or by breaking their spine.

The infanticidal horrors exposed during the murder trial of Philadelphia abortionist Kermit Gosnell and others like the notorious LeRoy Carhart operate throughout this country with impunity.  Carhart was caught on tape explaining he injects the poison Digoxin into the baby’s heart prior to inducing labor.  The poison kills the baby and “softens” the body like “meat in a crock pot” and is more easily “delivered”.

The Gosnell trial gave impetus to lawmakers in the U.S. House of Representatives to return to the original bill and restore the civil and criminal penalties.  The bill was decisively passed in September 2015 with a vote of 248-177 and again in January 2018 with a vote of 241-183.

Every Republican supported the bill.  Every. Single. One.

Why did @PattyMurray single-handedly block the Senate #BornAliveAct, which would protect babies who survive abortion? I asked her: pic.twitter.com/4j2d7JcA6F

Sen. Murray (D-WA) argued the legislation is not necessary because there are already laws on the books that prohibit infanticide. 

“This is a gross misinterpretation of the actual language of the bill that is being asked to be considered and, therefore, I object,” said Murray.

After her objection, Republican Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa lamented that the Senate “can no longer unanimously condemn murder.” 

In the world's greatest deliberative body, the United States Senate, it is unfathomable that a bill that simply prohibits infanticide was blocked on the floor. Rationality, decency and basic human compassion have fallen by the wayside. Watch my full floor speech here: pic.twitter.com/v1x7dRvpEi

Abortion portrays a child as an intrusion. The time to choose whether a woman is ready to receive the greatest gift of all is before conception not after.
