Senior Democratic lawmakers took to Twitter shortly after the House passed the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which requires doctors to provide care for infants born alive after a failed abortion, to criticize the Republicans who supported the "extreme" bill. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-NY, and Vice President Kamala Harris were among those who responded. "Today, instead of joining Democrats to condemn all political violence, [House Republicans] chose to push their extreme anti-choice agenda," Pelosi tweeted Wednesday.... ..The Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act says any infant born alive following an abortion attempt or...

Republican Gov. Jim Justice today signed into law a bill to protect babies who survive abortions from infanticide. The Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act (HB 4007/SB 231)now becomes state law to provide further protection for abortion survivors at a time when no Democrat running for president and Democrats in Congress have refused to do so. The Senate voted 32-0 in favor of the bill on February 10, 2020. The Born-Alive Bill’s overwhelming House passage by a 93-5 margin on January 15 was bipartisan as well. The Born-Alive Bill will enact requirements that a baby born alive during an abortion must...

August 12, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - At the same time that the National Right to Life Committee has unearthed documents proving that Barack Obama repeatedly voted against a bill that would have protected children born alive after an attempted abortion, Illuminati Pictures has released a video of an interview with a nurse who witnessed the very practice that Obama protected while in the Illinois senate (See: http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2008/aug/08081101.html  ). Jill Stanek was a nurse at Christ Hospital in Oak Lawn, Illinois in 1999 when she discovered that babies born alive after failed abortions purposely were being left to die in the "soiled...

The 22-week infant was found breathing a day after the operation. He died one day later in intensive care at a hospital in the mother's home town of Rossano, in southern Italy. The mother, pregnant for the first time, had opted for an abortion after prenatal scans revealed that the foetus had a cleft lip and palate, according to reports in the Italian media. The condition is treatable with surgery. The baby - weighing just 11oz - survived the procedure, carried out on Saturday in the Rossano Calabro hospital, but was left by doctors to die. He was discovered alive...

Left for dead. That's the only accurate way to describe the fate of the baby who survived a botched abortion in Italy only to be abandoned until being discovered by a priest the following day. The UK Telegraph reports: A baby boy abandoned by doctors to die after a botched abortion was found alive nearly two days later. The 22-week infant later died in intensive care at a hospital in the mother's home town of Rossano in southern Italy. The mother, pregnant for the first time, had opted for an abortion after prenatal scans suggested that her baby was disabled....

By inviting Barack Obama to deliver the commencement address and receive an honorary degree at Notre Dame, the Rev. John Jenkins has polarized the Catholic community nationwide – and raised a question. What does it mean to be a Catholic university in post-Christian America? Are there truths about faith and morality that are closed to debate at Notre Dame? Or is Notre Dame like London's Hyde Park, where all ideas and all advocates get a hearing? To Catholics, abortion is the killing of an unborn child, a premeditated breach of God's Commandment "Thou Shalt Not Kill." The case is closed...

Washington, DC -- A new commercial from the Obama slams a survivor of a botched late-term abortion and presidential candidate John McCain as "sleazy" for promoting a "despicable lie" that calls Obama into question for his votes against providing medical care to babies who survive failed abortions. As LifeNews.com reported, Gianna Jessen, a young woman who survived a failed saline abortion in the late 1970s, chides Obama for voting repeatedly against bills in the Illinois legislature to stop infanticide. She released an ad about Obama's votes against the Born Alive Infants Protection Act and pointed out how even abortion advocates...

Guest Commentary by Dr. Frank Joseph In listening to Obama's speech in Berlin which the MSM (mainstream media) called great, the following sentence by Obama caught my attention: "Look at Berlin where the bullet holes in the buildings and the somber stones and pillars near the Brandenburg Gate insist that we never forget our common humanity." "Our common humanity?" This is what Obama considers being humane: An entire baby is delivered except for the head, which they make sure stays in the birth canal (otherwise it would be murder), then the back of the baby's head is stabbed with scissors,...

Abortion is one of the most divisive issues in our country, but whether you're pro-life or "pro-choice", there are certain things on which I think most of us can agree. One of these is that children, once born, are entitled to the legal protections of a human being and cannot and should not be killed. Apparently, Senator Barack Obama does not agree. He was one of the driving forces in the state legislature preventing Illinois from adopting the Born Alive Infants Protection Act. This entirely reasonable law would stop hospitals and abortion mills from shelving live aborted babies to die...

Friday Five: Jill Stanek by Jennifer Mesko, associate editorA life-changing event catapulted her into the pro-life movement, and now she's obsessed with it.

The format is simple: five questions every Friday.)When Planned Parenthood tried to sneak an abortion clinic into suburban Chicago this year, it forgot to do its homework on local life advocate Jill Stanek.

Kenneth L. Connor: The Born Alive Act is a win for humanity The president signs a bill today that helps to erode 'abortion rights' Monday, August 05, 2002 Kenneth L. Connor is president of Family Research Council, a Washington public policy organization.       Although little heralded in the mainstream press, the Born Alive Act marks a watershed in the effort to roll back the abortion-on-demand regime created by the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision. The law makes it clear that a woman's right to an abortion does not guarantee the right to a dead baby. A child who...
