WASHINGTON, DC, Jul 19, 02 (CWNews.com) - The US Senate on Thursday passed a bill protecting children born alive from being killed-- even if it the child is born during an abortion. The bill now goes to the White House for President George W. Bush's signature. The Senate passed the bill unanimously and was passed by the House in March.

The Born-Alive Infants Protection Act would amend the legal definitions of "person," "human being," "child," and "individual" to include a live birth that has occurred as part of an abortion. Supporters of the law noted numerous documented instances of children born during abortions who were left to die or were smothered by doctors.

I'm shocked but pleased. Praise God.

BUMP!!!!

[Jhoffa_]

Hooray!!

(You watch.. this sounds like a big nothing right now.. but give it a few years to develop a precedent and to ward off legal challenges, then we will go bash some people over the head with it.)

Try that now and they'll be up for murder charges, as they should be. What else can you call it??

Protected ping..

Well, incredibly some people called it "malpractice" when a child was born alive..

Just how ironic is that?

Words fail..

[WIMom]

Does this include newborn babies left in dumpsters? Inquiring minds.......

I would like to see a source on this. Sounds like an urban legend to me.

Kind of like the meaning of "is".

Even the liberals in the Senate voted for it, perhaps a hint of a conscience exists after all.

Do you know who voted against it?

[My Favorite Headache]

Murder...nothing else...just murder.

[Reaganwuzthebest]

If it doesn't, it ought to. Sure is sad though how often that happens.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Where does partial birth abortion fall in here? The child would technically be alive when delivered......right?

Don't give them that much credit. It's all about politics.

Unfortunately it isn't an urban legend. If you look into it you will find out it is practicined. There is a nurse in Illinois who was fired after opposing this practice. Her name is Jill Stanek.

As predicted, NOW's feminazi warriors are losing their clout as more and more of the baby boom generation gradually begin having grand-children (thus heralding a Conservative shift in their thinking). Ten years ago they would have fought this bill tooth and nail. As recently as five years ago they may have even won.

Now we've got another two decades to watch this demographic trend accelerate, as more and more Boomers join the ranks of their older peers.

Score another victory for the pro-Life crowd. We've still got a long way to go, but at least we are heading in the right direction.

There was also at least one incident in Cincinnati. I read it in the local paper.

And the only reason we do hear these stories is because nurses, who disagreed with the practice, spoke out. How many nurses or other support staff do NOT disagree, or don't have the courage to come forward?

[Reaganwuzthebest]

Do you know who voted against it?

Not yet, but I won't be suprised in the least if my illustrious representative Hillary did.
