On January 11, the 118th Congress passed H.Con.Res.3, a Concurrent Resolution denouncing violence against pro-life pregnancy centers, recognizing the sanctity of all human life, and demanding the Biden Administration use law enforcement to protect the rights of pro-life people. The Resolution passed 222 to 209. Immediately prior, H.R. 26, a bill dubbed the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, was passed, expressing the intention of Congress to hold medical professionals accountable to their preexisting obligation—their duty to care—to all infants born alive, especially those born alive after a botched abortion. The bill passed 220 to 210. Given the common-sense content of both pieces of legislation, it seems the pro-abortion politicians in the Democratic party either 1) did not read the bills or 2) do not want pro-life people and infants born alive after botched abortions protected.
Q&A:
- What is the purpose of H.Con.Res.3 and H.R. 26?
Answer: H.Con.Res.3 is a Concurrent Resolution denouncing violence against pro-life pregnancy centers, recognizing the sanctity of all human life, and demanding the Biden Administration use law enforcement to protect the rights of pro-life people. The Resolution passed 222 to 209. H.R. 26, a bill dubbed the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act expresses the intention of Congress to hold medical professionals accountable to their preexisting obligation—their duty to care—to all infants born alive, especially those born alive after a botched abortion. The bill passed 220 to 210.
- What has been the response from the House Democrats?
Answer: Both H.Con.Res.3 and H.R. 26 were not about abortion but about protecting citizens already born equally. Despite this, the votes for and against the two items was made across party lines, with the exception of 1 Democrat voting yes for H.R. 26 and 3 for H.Con.Res.3. These legislators disqualify themselves by their discriminatory hate-votes against Christian pro-lifers and infants born alive.
- What have Democrat representatives been saying about the bills?
Answer: House (and other) Democrats insisted the bills were in direct opposition to abortion, ignoring the limited scope of both H.Con.Res.3 and H.R. 26 to just protect pro-life citizens and babies already born. They also spent considerable time vilifying pro-life people, claiming that, in propaganda consistent with pro-abortion terror group Jane’s Revenge, pro-life pregnancy centers are not medical providers and contribute to “misinformation that fuels the high infant and maternal mortality,” (Rep. Skyes). One Representative even laughably claims that giving medical care to babies born alive would endanger the health of the baby (Rep. Nadler).
- Why would a Democrat vote against the bills?
Answer: Given the common-sense content of both pieces of legislation, it seems the pro-abortion politicians in the Democratic party either 1) did not read the bills or 2) do not want pro-life people and infants born alive protected.
- Rep. Bishop equated violence against pro-life people and organizations to the KKK. Your response?
Answer: It is ironic that this is all happening on the lead-up to Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday who demanded the equal protection of all people no matter their color or, in the case of pro-lifers, creed. Rev. Harden says, “Because all people are made in the image of God, we are equally valuable, without partiality. The militant pro-abortion Jane’s Revenge is the Democrat party’s new KKK.
- Several black Democrats opposed these bills. As we look forward to MLK Jr. Day, how should we understand the abortion issue’s impact on the Black Community?
Answer: H.Con.Res.3 and H.R. 26 attempt to protect all citizens equally. Is it a coincidence that nearly 40% of all abortions are perpetrated against 14% of the population, black people? If all the black babies that have been aborted since 1973 were alive today the black community would be more than two times larger. Abortion is racist. And now, with the shameless display of democrat discrimination, pro-life people are getting a little taste of the black community’s struggle against systemic government injustice during the civil rights movement of the 50’s and 60s.
