Congress allowed doctors not to save children who survived unsuccessful abortions

Senate Democrats have blocked a Republican bill to save victims of botched abortions. According to the project, if a child was born alive as a result of an artificial abortion at a late stage, but doctors did not provide assistance to him, they should be held criminally liable, including imprisonment. Donald Trump called the Democrats' decision "the execution of babies."

All Democratic presidential candidates voted against the bill: Bernie Sanders, Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, Kirsten Gillibrand, Amy Klobuchar and Elizabeth Warren. Three Democrats supported the bill - Joe Manchin, Bob Casey and Doug Jones. Three Republicans did not vote, apparently due to issues with flight delays - Kevin Cramer, Lisa Murkowski and Tim Scott. Seven were missing the 60 votes required to pass the bill, writes Fox News.

If passed, the law would require that “any practitioner present at birth should show the same professional qualifications, care and diligence in order to preserve the life and health of the child within reasonable limits, as if it were a question of any other child born alive. on the same term. ”

The bill would exempt the mother from prosecution and require practitioners to “ensure that the baby was immediately taken to hospital.” The act provided for a possible term of imprisonment of up to five years for violating these requirements, but did not include punishment for first-degree murder, which, theoretically, could be applied.

In response to the failure of the law, President Donald Trump wrote that "it will be remembered as one of the most shocking votes in Congress history."

“Senate Democrats just voted down a bill to prevent the killing of young newborns,” Trump wrote. “The Democrats' position on abortion is now so extreme that they are not opposed to executing children after birth.”

Other Republicans also expressed disbelief. “I want to ask each of my colleagues if we are doing well on infanticide,” said the measure's lead sponsor, Sen. Ben Sasse. “Today is a sad day in the United States Senate.”

For life activists called on 44 senators, who voted against the Sass bill, to step down immediately. Their opponents, on the contrary, argued that opponents of abortion intimidate doctors, but late abortions are usually done in cases where the child is considered unable to survive.

“This bill is yet another offensive line in the war on women's health,” said New Hampshire Democratic Senator Jeanne Shaheen.

The bill was proposed after Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam endorsed "abortion after birth" while debating a bill to ban abortions in the final months of pregnancy. Democrat Kathy Tran, the project's sponsor, was asked during the hearing whether a woman who is about to give birth can still request an abortion. Tran responded that her bill would allow that.

“A third-trimester abortion is done with the consent of the mother and multiple doctors,” Northam said. - In cases where there may be serious deformities or a non-viable fetus. I can tell you exactly what will happen if a woman has already gone into labor. The child will be born and he will be given comfort. He will be resuscitated if his mother and family so desire, and then an argument will begin between the mother and the doctors. I think it's an overblown topic."
