Thinking about the institution of slavery, Thomas Jefferson once said, “I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, that his justice cannot sleep forever.”
If Jefferson were alive today, he would say, “I tremble for my party when I reflect that God is just, that his justice cannot sleep forever.”
Why do I say this? Senate Democrats recently voted to block legislation that would have required that medical care be provided to babies who survive abortion procedures. The Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act did not receive the 60 votes necessary to advance out of the Senate. The final tally was 56 for, 41 against, with every single vote against the bill cast by Democrats.
Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE) addressed the chamber prior to the vote, saying: “The piece of legislation we’re voting on today, the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, is not about abortion. The bill we’re voting on doesn’t change anyone’s access to abortion. It doesn’t have anything to do with Roe v. Wade. It is about babies that are already born.”
