Today marks 46 TIMES that Democrats have blocked mandatory medical care for every baby born.
→ New York’s state legislators passed a bill that would allow for the abortion of babies up to the very moment of birth and removed existing protections that required babies to receive mandatory medical care if they were born alive after an abortion.
→ Virginia Democrats introduced similar legislation, and their Governor went even further, saying it was ok to kill a baby even in the minutes after delivery.
→ Republicans in Congress said enough is enough and have tried to introduce the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which would outlaw and penalize infanticide in the United States. There’s just one problem. Democrats won’t even allow an up or down vote. So Republicans have been asking for a vote every day that the House of Representatives is in session.
We are using every legislative tool in our disposal to protect life.

Today, I will ask for a vote on @RepAnnWagner's Born-Alive Protection Act, which would outlaw and penalize infanticide in the United States. If Democrats object, we will ask again. And again. And again, until the House of Representatives speaks up for life. pic.twitter.com/uFhbe0tcwZ

Before the entire House, I asked for immediate consideration of a bill that protects infants born alive during abortions. But Democrats rejected my motion and refused to consider it. Why won’t they go on record and tell the American people where they stand on infanticide? pic.twitter.com/eaqBS17LTl

Today I asked for unanimous consent to bring up the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act.
I was told to cease speaking and not to engage in “debate." Well, I will never stop speaking for the innocent babies who cannot speak for themselves…

It just happened again. For the 4th straight legislative day, House Dems blocked a vote on a bill that would protect babies who survive abortions from being murdered.

Tonight I led 21 of my colleagues on the House floor in calling for legislation to prevent infanticide. We must stand together against this radical and inhumane agenda, and we must act to protect the rights of all infants. https://t.co/eU5dOZsOxr

I'm speaking on the House floor today to ask for unanimous consent on HR 962, which seeks to protect newborn children from infanticide. This should be an easy "yes" vote. The right to life is fundamental to our country's values. #BornAliveActhttps://t.co/nFea8DbppI

This legislation is a matter of protecting human dignity and should not be a controversial issue. It amends Federal law so that in the case that a baby survives an abortion, the doctor must do everything in their power to give the baby medical care.
