Naming Names: Which U.S. Senators Again Voted Against Protecting Innocent Babies from Barbaric, Painful Abortion and in Favor of Allowing Infanticide
The U.S. Senate just had a chance to protect defenseless unborn babies, but failed to do so – even though a bipartisan majority of the Senate voted in favor of life – TWICE.
The Senate voted on two crucial bills: The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act and the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Act.
As we've explained before, the Pain-Capable bill would have banned abortions after 20 weeks, the point at which babies are fully able to feel pain and experience physical suffering. Protecting babies from being ripped from the womb at this stage seems like a common-sense, compassionate move, and yet, the bill fell short of the necessary 60 votes.
A bipartisan majority of 53 Senators – including 2 Democrats – voted in favor of sparing these precious babies from excruciating pain. Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) crossed the aisle to join their Republican colleagues and protect babies.
Sadly it wasn't enough
