Democrat Lawmaker Tries to Exempt Black Babies from Legislation That Bans Killing Babies with Detectable Heartbeats

Ohio is the latest state to pass its own version of the “heartbeat bill.” The bill essentially bans abortions after a heartbeat is detected (so essentially after 6 weeks). It’s hard to believe that it’s so controversial. You shouldn’t kill a baby with a beating heart. That shouldn’t even be up for debate.

The bill is set to go into effect about three months from now, but the ACLU is doing everything in its power to stop it.

“This is a very clear violation of women’s constitutional rights that have been established for close to fifty years under ‘Roe v. Wade,’ which became the law of the land in 1973,” ACLU of Ohio legal director Freda Levenson said. “Women have a categorical right to abortions up until fetal viability.”

That’s disgusting, but I think this tops it.

Democratic state Rep. Janine Boyd is trying to water down the law by adding an amendment that would make an exception for black babies. I am not making this up.

On Tuesday during a state House Health Committee meeting, she proposed Amendment 0291 to add the exemption.

Boyd likened restrictions on abortion to slavery as she urged her fellow lawmakers to support the measure. Watch her remarks on The Ohio Channel, starting at minute 51:45.

“Black slaves were once treated like cattle and put out to stud in order to create generations of more slaves,” she said. “Our country is not far enough beyond our history to legislate as if it is.”

The mental gymnastics she used to justify murdering black babies specifically is simply incredible. She should win a medal.

The committee rejected the amendment, but state pro-life leaders expressed outrage that it even was proposed.

“To reference owning humans as a defense of dismembering them is moral myopia,” said Mark Harrington, president of Created Equal. “If is wrong to own humans, it is also wrong to intentionally kill them.”

And they call us racists? We want to save the lives of unborn babies of EVERY race. But liberals? Liberals are cool with murdering black babies specifically. They’ve convinced themselves that it’s “empowering.”

There’s a reason Planned Parenthood has a number of facilities located conveniently near minority neighborhoods. That’s all I’m going to say about that.
