Planned Parenthood Condemns Bill That Would Require Doctors To Save Babies Who Survive Botched Abortions

I don’t care what you call yourself. Everyone– even FEMINISTS– should support this bill. It’s not a feminist issue. It’s a humanity issue.

I’m talking about H.R. 4712, otherwise known as “The Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act.” It was sponsored by Rep. Marsha Blackburn, and it’s exactly what it sounds like. It would require medical professionals to treat babies who survive botched abortions.

The law prescribes that “any health care practitioner present at the time the child is born shall:

• Exercise the same degree of professional skill, care and diligence to preserve the life and health of the child as a reasonably diligent and conscientious health care practitioner would render to any other child born alive at the same gestational age.

• Following the exercise of skill, care and diligence ensure that the child born alive is immediately transported to a hospital.”

Additionally:

• It establishes strong criminal penalties for practitioners who violate this requirement.

• It establishes a civil right of action for the mother of the child, to enforce the law.

• It requires that the mother of the child born alive may not be prosecuted under this law.

Again. I don’t care how “pro-abortion” you are. This is about saving a child who SURVIVED an attempted murder. If you oppose treating a baby who survived, you don’t have a soul. That’s the only explanation.

Speaking of soulless monsters…

The unnecessary anti-abortion bill moving through the House isn’t what people or doctors and clinicians want. #PatientsOverPolitics pic.twitter.com/Oyuvqe4Mgm

You hear that? If the patient wants her baby dead, THE BABY SHOULD BE LEFT FOR DEAD. This is how you feminist.

Today, the House is voting on an unnecessary bill to politicize abortion and criminalize abortion providers instead of the many urgent things they need to do. #PatientsOverPolitics pic.twitter.com/m1uN1VGwzE

They’re politicizing health care instead of keeping 800,000 immigrant youth with their families — forcing them out of the country they call home. #DACA #DreamActNow pic.twitter.com/WdskbIogtx

Instead of renewing health insurance for 9 million children that Congress let expire over 110 days ago. https://t.co/SnehcOLSmd #SaveCHIP pic.twitter.com/Mei95SB98S

You want to leave living, breathing, defenseless babies for dead. You have no moral authority on ANYTHING.

It’s been a year full of unpopular, relentless attacks on our health, rights and communities. We’ve held off some of the worst attacks, but we’re readying for what’s to come. This year we’ll #ReclaimOurRights.

Babies have the right not to be LEFT FOR DEAD.

It's absolutely diabolical for anyone to speak out against a measure that saves a child, especially one that's breathing air! If this tweet by PP doesn't show what they're all about then I don't know what will. It's absolutely repugnant!

How evil does a person have to be to not want to help a baby that survives a murder attempt? Apparently as evil as a Democrat. And yet they think they have the high road. #massive hypocrites

It’s simply unbelievable.

Your against the born alive act ? Are you kidding me ?

— RebelwithaCause (@SwordSwinging) January 20, 2018

You are literally complaining about saving the life of a baby that survives your barbaric and evil practice while in the same breath saying patients over politics?

How demented are you all?

It’s asking doctors to save a baby born alive during your murderous practice of abortion. And you are against that? How do you face yourself in the mirror? #ChooseLife

a baby who survives murder attempt by abortion should be left to die, is that what you are saying?

— MamaBear74 (@TruthBToldDe) January 21, 2018

That’s EXACTLY what they’re saying.

How sickening you're against saving a human being born alive when a murder fails! Like truly disgusting 😤🤢

It doesn’t get any more despicable than that.

These people actually believe they’re speaking from some sort of moral high ground. Please excuse me while I vomit.
