Nancy Pelosi and House Democrats continue to refuse a request to allow a vote on the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, legislation that would stop infanticide and provide medical care and treatment for babies who survive abortions.
Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott announced via Twitter Thursday that he has signed yet another key piece of legislation which promotes the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Gov. Abbott signed the Born Alive Act, which guarantees that a baby born during a botched abortion is given necessary and reasonable treatment, as any other patient would receive, in order to be kept alive. Republicans in Congress have attempted to bring up a similar version of the bill for a House vote, but have been denied more than 70 times by their Democratic counterparts from doing so.
