SANTA FE – Democrats in the state House on Thursday blocked Republican efforts to pass a law requiring doctors to provide medical care if an infant is born alive during an attempted abortion.

The House Consumer and Public Affairs Committee heard emotional testimony and debate for about two hours – as supporters of the legislation described the horrors of botched abortions and the killing of infants.

But in the end, the committee’s three Democrats voted to table the bill, preventing it from proceeding through the Legislature. . . .

Democrats Kill Bill to Protect Babies Born Alive After Botched Abortions

State Micaiah Bilger Mar 6, 2017 | 11:59AM Santa Fe, New Mexico

New Mexico House Democrats blocked a bill Thursday that would have required doctors to provide life-saving medical care to babies born alive after botched abortions.

The Democrat-majority state House committee voted to table the bill in a 3-2 party line vote, The Albuquerque Journal reports.

The bill, sponsored by Minority Whip Rod Montoya, a Republican, would have required abortion practitioners and other doctors to try to preserve the life and health of a baby born alive after a botched abortion. The bill also would have required the same protections for babies born in miscarriages and natural births, according to the report. It would have made it a first-degree felony to intentionally kill an infant born alive after one of these procedures.

“This is not an abortion bill,” Montoya said. “This is a human rights bill . . . .

Gee, what a surprise.

Let the excuse-making commence!

Wow, those poor babies in New Mexico… how can the Democrats that voted against this bill do such a thing?! Even if you support abortion, come on, babies that are born alive need to be helped by a doctor! Hope all those that voted against the bill are voted out of office.

 

[Autumn_Smoke]

This is sick…just sick.

New Mexico also has a center where late term abortions are performed. People travel from all over the world to come to this center to have late term abortions. It is in Albuquerque.
So this does not surprise me, but it saddens me deeply.

I must agree there. I’m not sure there’s any more to be said about the morality of this than poo-too-weet?

(If you haven’t read Slaughterhouse 5, that’s all that author can find to say about a massacre.)

This is pure evil!

First they try to murder the baby, then if he survives they don’t care for him? What happened to “First do no harm”?

Now that I think about it, this sounds a lot like something the Nazis would have done.

What are they thinking? The mother went in in order not to have any responsibility for a child so she should not have that responsibility should it be a botched abortion and the child is born anyway??? What? God is watching. The baby’s blood cries out from the Earth!

The founder of planned parenthood was inspired by Hitler and Vice Versa…so we should not be surprised.

Except the Nazis were a lot worse.

And democrats who claim to care for the poor are the first ones to ignore the cries of the most vulnerable of the poor - the pre-born child in the womb.

Obama himself voted against “Infants born alive” acts, twice. So, it’s really a subcategory (like abortion) of the only thing Dems stand for anymore…killing children.

I know Hillary supports late term abortion, but does anyone know what her stance us on infants born alive?

Obama voting against infants born alive twice was the main reason I found him so repulsive and evil!

I wonder if this act by Dems was so much against babies as it was an obstruction act against the Reps. I think if they voted on doing away with Santa Clause and the Easter Bunny, the Dems would do it if it would obstruct the Reps.

At any rate, this death culture act should not have been done.

 

[Monte_RCMS]

Where is the Catholic bishop in New Mexico?

 

[Michael68]

Yes where is the Bishop to defend this? Wherr are all the Dems? Aren’t they proud of this? Stick it to the Republicans and babies! I hope theyre proud of themselves!

If this is true then doesn’t make it any better…

Can somebody get a recording of the “procedure”?
