It’s truly horrifying. Democrats are now all in for letting helpless babies die after birth. This week they couldn’t even agree to support the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act (BAASPA), introduced by Senator Ben Sasse ~

Any health care practitioner present at the time the child is born alive shall —
 
(A) 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; and
 
(B) following the exercise of skill, care, and diligence required under subparagraph (A), ensure that the child born alive is immediately transported and admitted to a hospital.

 
BAASPA needed 60 votes to overcome the legislative filibuster. Tragically, it failed by a vote of 53 to 44; all but 3 Democrats voting against it.
 
Complicit in this fresh evil are the mainstream media. They’ve apparently decided that a political party suddenly affirming that women should be able to kill their babies before and after birth isn’t at all a newsworthy development. As David Harsanyi at the Federalist put it, there’s no good way to spin the Democrats’ vote. So many in the MSM simply ignored it ~

(M)ost of them did their best interference for Democrats, who took an unconscionable vote this week that couldn’t be spun by the typical bias. Or put it this way, if Republicans had taken a vote that was deeply unpopular with the majority of Americans, you’d be hearing about it. Over and over again.

 
The thing is, the Left cannot let the American people have an honest debate on abortion because if they did, anyone but the most inhumane among us would oppose it in all forms. That’s why the mainstreams didn’t report on this vote. And that’s why the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) officially gave the upcoming abortion film Unplanned an “R” rating last week ~

Movies are rated R for profanity, nudity, sex or violence. Unplanned contains no profanity, nudity or sex. “Ironically, the MPAA seems to be indirectly endorsing the pro-life position: namely that abortion is an act of violence,” writers and directors Cary Solomon and Chuck Konzelman told Movieguide.
 
The film tells the true story of former Planned Parenthood clinic director Abby Johnson who worked at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Bryan, Texas, until 2009 when she left the organization after assisting in an ultrasound-guided abortion of a 13-week-old unborn baby. Johnson was Planned Parenthood’s youngest director of a clinic in the nation.
 
She helped over 22,000 women have abortions during her time at the clinic. Planned Parenthood named Johnson as the employee of the year in 2008. She worked at the abortion provider for eight years before leaving the group. Johnson also had a medication abortion before she became pro-life.
 
The R rating will mean that “many teenage women in this country who can legally obtain an actual abortion without parental permission will be prohibited from going to see our film containing simulated images of abortion, without obtaining parental permission,” Solomon and Konzelman also said, noting the double-edged sword of the rating.

 
One gets the impression that this movie would convince all but the most rabid pro-aborts of the evils of abortion. That’s why it must be ignored, dismissed and subverted by the Left.

There is no spin that can be put on this. No justification. No explanation that softens the blow. On February 25, 44 Democrat senators, including all 6 declared presidential candidates, voted against the Born Alive Protection Act. Put another way, they voted for infanticide.
 
As reported on the National Review,
 
All six of the Democratic senators currently running for the 2020 presidential nomination voted against the bill: Cory Booker (N.J.), Sherrod Brown (Ohio), Kirsten Gillibrand (N.Y.), Kamala Harris (Calif.), Amy Klobuchar (Minn.), and Elizabeth Warren (Mass.), along with Independent Bernie Sanders of Vermont.
 
The Democrats truly have become the party of death, joined enthusiastically by far-left Bernie Sanders.

 
Woman who survived being aborted: I’m ‘living proof’ born-alive act is necessary ~

Abortion survivor Melissa Ohden was not surprised that Democrats in the U.S. Senate blocked the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, saying the Dems are willing to sacrifice the lives of people such as her to protect abortion on-demand […]
 
“I was disappointed,” she said. “I still am today but I’m certainly not surprised.”
 
“I think the Democrats who voted last night against this bill really showed us that they’re willing to sacrifice lives like mine to keep abortion-on-demand right there,” Ohden stated.
