    Trump Signing 'Born Alive' Executive Order Protecting Botched Abortion Survivors

    President Donald Trump announced Wednesday he is signing an executive order to ensure babies who survive botched abortions receive medical care.

    The president shared news of his decision during a pre-recorded, virtual appearance at the National Catholic Prayer Breakfast.

    "Today, I am announcing that I will be signing the born alive executive order to assure that all precious babies born alive, no matter their circumstances, receive the medical care that they deserve," said Trump. "This is our sacrosanct moral duty."

    He revealed, too, his administration is increasing federal funding for neonatal research.

    Though the full text of Trump's executive order has not yet been released, it's worth noting the Born-Alive Infant Protection Act has been introduced in Congress several times. The bill, however, has never become law.

    The proposed law would require babies born alive after failed abortions to be given the same medical treatment had they been born prematurely under different circumstances, according to the Catholic News Agency.

    Jeanne Mancini, president of the pro-life March for Life, praised the president in a statement obtained by Faithwire Wednesday afternoon.

    "President Trump once again has stepped up for life," she said. "His actions today provide necessary legal protections for some of the most vulnerable in society: survivors of failed abortions. These steps had to be taken because some Democrats in the Senate promised to block legislation that mandates basic medical care for children who survive an abortion — an extremist view shared by vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris."

    Northam, who is a doctor, not only endorsed the bill but said Tran's comments were "really blown out of proportion." In making his case, the governor proceeded to put forward an incredibly troubling scenario, apparently in support of post-birth infanticide.

    "If a mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly what would happen," he said. "The infant would be delivered. The infant would be kept comfortable. The infant would be resuscitated, if that's what the mother and the family desired, and then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother."

    The Democratic politician's remarks were condemned at the time as "horrifying," "sick," and "ghoulish."

    Hallelujah! Thank you God! I pray that hearts would soften in this nation, Lord, and that homes would open for adoption and care of these and other "unwanted" babies.

    I am just flabbergasted that the Governor of my state (Virginia) is a doctor who took an oath that includes the words: ""Moreover, I will give no sort of medicine to any pregnant woman, with a view to destroy the child. - I pray he gets a touch from God Almighty, and is radically changed.
