Yesterday’s vote in the United States Senate on the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act marked a new and horrific low in American politics.
The measure, which would have guaranteed medical care for children born alive after an attempted abortion, needed 60 votes for passage.
It received 53.
Shockingly, 44 Democrats opposed the legislation.
Think about that.
Nearly half of the United States Senate voted to allow the killing of infant children.
Politics is intrinsically contentious. Bitter partisan battles have become the norm.
