The Democratic Party just extended “reproductive health,” code for abortions, outside the womb.
Senate Democrats, to include a parade of presidential candidates, voted on Monday to block a measure that would have threatened prison time for doctors who fail to provide life-saving medical care for infants born alive during failed abortions, Fox News reported.
And you can be sure President Donald Trump will make this “shocking” vote a major issue in the 2020 presidential election.
Taking to Twitter, the president stated the obvious, that being who on earth could be against protecting the lives of innocent babies?
“Senate Democrats just voted against legislation to prevent the killing of newborn infant children. The Democrat position on abortion is now so extreme that they don’t mind executing babies AFTER birth….,” he tweeted.
“This will be remembered as one of the most shocking votes in the history of Congress,” Trump added in a second tweet. “If there is one thing we should all agree on, it’s protecting the lives of innocent babies.”

The final vote to end Democratic delaying tactics was 53-44, seven votes short of the 60 needed.
Three Democrats voted with Republicans to support the bill — Joe Manchin of West Virginia, Bob Casey of Pennsylvania and Doug Jones of Alabama.
Three Republicans, Kevin Cramer of North Dakota, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Tim Scott of South Carolina, didn’t vote due to scheduling and/or traveling issues, according to Fox News.

More importantly, the prominent Democratic 2020 presidential candidates who voted against the bill: Bernie Sanders of Vermont, Kamala Harris of California, Cory Booker of New Jersey, Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts.
Hey Democrats, here’s your 2020 field:@KamalaHarris@CoryBooker @ewarren @SenGillibrand @amyklobuchar @BernieSanders
Every single one of them just voted to allow a live baby to be left to die if it survives a botched abortion
EVERY. SINGLE. ONE.
This is sick

Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb., the chief sponsor of the legislation, appeared on Fox News’ “The Story” after the vote and said the opposition lied “constantly” about the measure, offering “blatant nonsense” like claiming the bill “would end abortion” entirely.
“This is about the most simple thing you can say, which is that a baby is a baby, and they have dignity and worth,” Sasse said. “And it’s not because they’re powerful. It’s because they’re babies. Today is a sad day in the United States Senate.”
March for Life President Jeanne Mancini issued a statement suggesting senators who blocked the bill’s passage should resign.
“Senators who could not bring themselves to vote to pass the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act should reconsider whether or not they have what it takes to serve,” Mancini said in the release. “Senator Sasse’s common sense bill would merely require doctors to assist a newborn struggling to survive after a failed attempt on her life. Anyone who lacks the basic level of human compassion needed to vote in favor of this should quickly find another job.”
The reaction online was fierce.
Turning Point USA’s Candace Owens was out in front, noting on Sunday that black families are deeply impacted by Democrats supporting free and unfettered abortion.
“The Democrats have slaughtered millions upon millions of black families. THEY TOOK OUR FAMILIES AWAY. I will be the LOUDEST voice against Democrats until our families, self-confidence and potential is restored,” she tweeted.

This should scare the hell out of anyone with a conscience. It’s a sick bunch voting no on this. And don’t give me some bull that this is about ”women’s health.” These are babies born alive, you lunatics. https://t.co/AIB0dNxhiA

Repulsive. Tell me more about how our children are threatened by climate change while voting not to protect children born alive, Senators. https://t.co/ZMFcgTycxn

It's a tragic day in America when 44 U.S. Senators refuse to condemn killing babies born alive after botched abortions.

Polling shows that between 70-80% of Americans are against abortion after 20 weeks (Marist at 71%, Gallup at 81%).
I am going to guess that at least that many are against allowing babies born alive to be killed or left to die.
This vote will be used heavily against Dems in 2020 https://t.co/IlJM80nxaO

This is a little shameful for a 1st world country.
If a child is born alive, we don't kill it. We find it a home. https://t.co/QuIsfzWTY3

Yep. As one social media user noted about the lawlessness of the Democratic Party, “W]hat the h*ll is going on around here?”
Now the Dems have actually voted to kill live babies!
Where does their lawlessness stop?
1st – Frame a candidate.
2nd – Frame a President.
3rd – Attempt a coup.Now they want to kill live actual little people.
What’s next?
I’m serious, what the h*ll is going on around here?— ??AnthemRespect?? (@AnthemRespect) February 26, 2019
