Democrats' Infanticide Opposition Ignites Republican Legislative Action

**Infanticide Bill Reintroduced Amidst Democrats' Ongoing Opposition**
Republican Senator James Lankford has revisited a critical piece of legislation aimed at protecting the most vulnerable among us—newborns who survive abortions.
The proposed Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act (BAASPA) seeks to ensure that infants who are born alive following failed abortion attempts receive the same medical care and urgency as any child delivered at full term.
Senator Lankford emphasizes, “No child should be denied medical care simply because they are ‘unwanted.’”
This alarming issue has been overlooked for too long, with reports indicating that numerous infants are left to suffer after surviving their intended termination.
Senator Lankford's bill would impose stringent penalties on medical professionals who neglect or intentionally harm these infants, including potential prison time for those who would allow these innocent lives to die through inaction.
The legislation is particularly timely as it comes at the beginning of a new Republican-majority Congress.
Despite the unanimous passage of the federal Born-Alive Infants Protection Act (BAIPA) two decades ago, which claimed to protect these infants without the necessary enforcement, it appears that Democrats have become increasingly extreme on issues surrounding abortion.
In fact, during previous attempts to pass the BAASPA, Democrats have consistently voted against measures aimed at preventing infanticide.
The stakes are high. Data from the Abortion Survivors Network estimates that approximately 1,734 infants are born alive post-abortion each year in the United States, a staggering figure that demands immediate legislative attention.
The absence of federal requirements for reporting these incidents further complicates efforts to obtain a reliable understanding of just how many lives are being affected.
As the Republican leadership prepares for the incoming Trump administration's policies, the call for this legislation could create an opportunity to enact meaningful protections for newborns who survive failed abortions.
Although Democrats have argued that existing laws render infanticide virtually nonexistent, the grim reality suggests otherwise.
Only 18 states currently have laws in place to guarantee medical care for these infants, leaving many without the basic protections they deserve.
As Republicans mobilize to push this bill forward, the hope is that a handful of Senate Democrats might recognize the moral imperative of ensuring life-saving care for these newborns and stand against the radical pro-abortion lobby.
With President Trump returning to office, there is renewed optimism that the new Congress might bridge party lines to protect infant lives, a topic that should unite rather than divide us.
