Australian Senate Votes for Postpartum Abortion

It is hard to get your head around healthcare professionals deliberately withholding aid from a mutilated child that has survived an attempt on its life. Yet we read this from Australia:

On August 20, United Australia Party Senator Ralph Babet introduced an urgency motion urging the Senate to recognise that at least one baby is born alive each week following a failed abortion and is subsequently left to die.

This has added up to hundreds of Australian babies perishing in a state of anguish that can hardly be imagined thanks to depraved indifference to human life.

“These babies are often just left to die alone, slowly in a cold metal dish, with no legal right to care,” Senator Babet said.

That’s the way leftists want it, so that’s the way it will stay:

Babet argued that Australia’s healthcare system is enabling these tragic deaths and urged the Senate to condemn the practice, stressing that babies who survive failed abortions should receive appropriate care.

The urgency motion fell short of the needed support, with 18 votes in favour and 32 against, resulting in its failure.

Last year in the USA, a bill passed the House to spare children from this fate:

The Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act passed 220 to 210. The legislation would amend Title 18 of the United States Code to “prohibit a health care practitioner from failing to exercise the proper degree of care in the case of a child who survives an abortion or attempted abortion.”

All but two Democrats voted against the bill. The Senate version is going nowhere because Democrats oppose it.

Anyone who would kill a viable baby at 9 months that has not yet been born would kill a baby that has been born.

The arbitrary line between killing babies unborn and born is already behind us.

No morally sane person could like where this slippery slope is leading.

On a tip from ABC of the ANC.
