President Trump Slams Democrats for Blocking Senate Bill Banning Late-Term Abortions After 20 Weeks

1/30/2018

 
President Trump criticized those recalcitrant senators who stood in the way of stopping late-term abortions.
“Recently, when I addressed the 45th annual March for Life, I called on the Senate to pass the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, important legislation that would protect our most vulnerable. It is disappointing that despite support from a bipartisan majority of U.S. Senators, this bill was blocked from further consideration,” he said.
Trump highlighted the scientific evidence showing unborn babies feel pain in late abortions.
“Scientific studies have demonstrated that babies in the womb feel pain at twenty weeks. The vote by the Senate rejects scientific fact and puts the United States out of the mainstream in the family of nations, in which only 7 out of 198 nations, including China and North Korea, allow elective abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy,” he said.

Trump concluded, “We must defend those who cannot defend themselves. I urge the Senate to reconsider its decision and pass legislation that will celebrate, cherish, and protect life.”

All But Three Democrats Voted to Allow Unlimited Abortions Up to Birth

1/30/2018

 
Just three Democrats in the U.S. Senate supported a bill on Monday that would prohibit abortions after 20 weeks when unborn babies are capable of feeling pain.
The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, which has strong public support from Republicans and Democrats alike, narrowly failed to pass the U.S. Senate on Monday in a 51-46 vote. The bill needed 60 votes to overcome Democrats’ filibuster.
The bill would save as many as 18,000 unborn babies form abortionsevery year in the U.S.
U.S. Sens. Bob Casey Jr. of Pennsylvania, Joe Donnelly of Indiana and Joe Manchin of West Virginia were the only Democrats who supported the legislation.
They alone listened to the majority of their constituents by supporting the moderate abortion ban. Polls consistently show strong public support for a 20-week abortion ban, including a majority of Democrats and women.

MISSOURI RIGHT TO LIFE APPLAUDS HOUSE PASSAGE OF BORN-ALIVE ABORTION SURVIVORS PROTECTION ACT

1/19/2018

 
Missouri Right to Life is grateful for our pro-life Congressmen and women who voted in support of this critical pro-life legislation. Six of eight Missouri Representatives voted to protect innocent unborn babies that are born alive during an abortion. It is an honor to stand with these committed pro-life champions as we all work to restore recognition of the dignity and sanctity to human life. -Steve Rupp, President, Missouri Right to Life.
______________________

WASHINGTON - The National Right to Life Committee (NRLC), the federation of state right-to-life organizations, today applauded a vote by the U.S. House of Representatives to extend federal legal protection to babies who are born alive during abortion. The Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act (H.R. 4712) passed 241-183. All Republicans voted for final passage, but only six Democrats voted in favor of it.
  
National Right to Life President Carol Tobias commented, "The 183 House Democrats who voted against the bill will need to try to explain why they voted against making it a crime to treat a born-alive human person as medical waste, as a source for organ harvesting, or as a creature who may be subjected to lethal violence with impunity." 
  
H.R. 4712 contains an explicit requirement that a baby born alive during an abortion must be afforded "the same degree" of care that would apply "to any other child born alive at the same gestational age," including transportation to a hospital. This language does not dictate bona fide medical judgments nor require futile measures, but rather, requires that babies born alive during abortions are treated in the same manner as those who are spontaneously born prematurely.

Marching for Life

1/19/2018

 
The 45th annual March for Life in Washington DC on January 19 will draw hundreds of thousands of marchers from across the country including thousands of Missourians.  While past marches have included more than 500,00 participants, they are routinely ignored by both the local and national media. We marchers represent all 50 states, all ages and walks of life, and are united in purpose and commitment.
We march because it is our First Amendment right as citizens to freedom of speech, assembly, and the right to petition the government for redress of grievance. We march in Washington because it is from there that the Supreme Court handed down concurrent decisions on January 22, 1973. Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton struck down all existing state laws regarding abortion and unleashed 45 years of abortion-on-demand for the full nine months of pregnancy in all fifty states.

Trump admin creates office to ‘protect’ doctors’ consciences who refuse to do abortion

1/19/2018

 
WASHINGTON, D.C., January 18, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) – President Donald Trump’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) established today a new division within HHS’s civil rights office to enforce conscience protection and religious freedom for healthcare workers.
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced the creation of the Conscience and Religious Freedom Division of the Office of Civil Rights (OCR) this morning.
The new division will enforce "laws and regulations that protect conscience and prohibit coercion on issues such as abortion and assisted suicide" and others in HHS-funded or conducted programs," according to the OCR website. It will also enforce statutes protecting “the free exercise of religion and prohibit discrimination” in HHS programs.
