Colorado Democrats Vote Down Bill Mandating Medical Care To Born-Alive Survivors Of Abortions

On Tuesday, Colorado Democrats voted down a bill seeking to mandate medical care to born-alive survivors of abortions, House Bill 1068.

“The bill establishes a physician-patient relationship between a child born alive after or during an abortion and the physician who performed or attempted to perform the abortion,” outlines Colorado.gov.

The bill would require physicians “to exercise the same degree of professional skill, care, and diligence to preserve the life and health of the child as a reasonably diligent and conscientious physician would render to any other child born alive at the same gestational age and requires that the child born alive be immediately transferred to a hospital.”
/snip
Republican Colorado Rep. Shane Sandridge, the sponsor of House Bill 1068, emphasized that the legislation is not an abortion bill, but a bill against murder.

“It’s not an abortion bill,” Sandridge said, according to the outlet. “It’s a murder bill.”
/snip
Public policy lawyer and vice chair of the Colorado Republican Party Kristi Burton Brown told the committee, “We are talking about children born alive.”

“Pro-abortion Democrats oppose this bill and they should be forced to explain why their allegiance to the abortion industry’s agenda should allow a practice that is tantamount to infanticide,” Popik said. “It is outrageous that a born-alive human person may be subjected to lethal violence with impunity or be treated as if she is medical waste.”

Jeff Hunt, director of the Centennial Institute tweeted after the vote: “The Colorado legislature just voted down a bill that would require a doctor to provide medical care to a child who is born alive after surviving an abortion. A child is born, in need of help, and the Colorado legislature voted against mandating care,” he wrote. “God have mercy.”

Indeed. Our society needs God’s mercy when young children are treated like waste. Like navel lint.

If we begin to treat our born alive children (completely putting aside the whole conception issue) like trash, – making life disposable if it’s inconvenient – what is next?

“Hey, it’s got a deformity, get rid of it.”
“That person is beyond societal redemption. Get rid of it.”
“She’s too old to contribute to society. Stick her in a bed until she dies.”
(Shades of Logan’s Run..but I date myself…)
“That coma has lasted three days. It’s too expensive to keep up life support. Pull the plug.”
“You don’t think the right way.” This one is followed by a beating by the “socially just” thinkers.

I notice that the people making this argument are themselves survivors of their mothers’ decisions to not abort them or leave them to die at birth.

Not enough spit in the world. Despicable.

This is the least amount that I’ve ever paid to have a deer processed. Oh and they added about 10 Lbs of pork to all the sausage, 50/50.

    This is a great innovation.  The flaring of stranded gas has bothered me since I was a kid.  It just didn’t seem right.

    Movable LNG containers used of for onsite storage of the fuel.
    Source: Edge LNG

    Wherever oil is produced, gas often follows. If there aren’t enough customers to take it away, the gas is often treated as a waste product and either burned off at the wellhead or allowed to escape into the air—flared or vented in the jargon of the industry.

    Making LNG directly at the well can also help recover these supplies known in the trade as “stranded gas” when they aren’t economical to develop or lack pipeline connections. In North America alone, that stranded gas is worth about $600 million.

    Fascinating tech application of artificial intelligence from the people who recognized and warned the world first about the coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan.

    But a Canadian health monitoring platform had beaten them both to the punch, sending word of the outbreak to its customers on December 31.

    BlueDot uses an AI-driven algorithm that scours foreign-language news reports, animal and plant disease networks, and official proclamations to give its clients advance warning to avoid danger zones like Wuhan.

    Speed matters during an outbreak, and tight-lipped Chinese officials do not have a good track record of sharing information about diseases, air pollution, or natural disasters. But public health officials at WHO and the CDC have to rely on these very same health officials for their own disease monitoring. So maybe an AI can get there faster. “We know that governments may not be relied upon to provide information in a timely fashion,” says Kamran Khan, BlueDot’s founder and CEO. “We can pick up news of possible outbreaks, little murmurs or forums or blogs of indications of some kind of unusual events going on.”

    Movable 3D printers are practical robots.  The applications for the Third World are endless for affordable and fast housing.

    At 31 feet tall and 6,900 square feet, a new building in Dubai is the largest 3D-printed building in the world — and the first two-story structure of its kind.

    The most impressive part of the project? U.S. company Apis Cor built the structure using only three workers and one printer.

    Proving that the printer could handle a harsh environment, Apis Cor did the printing outdoors where there was no temperature or humidity control.

    However, there was a logistical issue the printer did have to tackle: The square foot area of the building was larger than the printing area of the stationary machine. To solve this technological obstacle, a crane moved the 3D printer around the site.

    The Battle to Feed Humanity Has Been Won

    As the editor of a website documenting human progress, I am sometimes asked to name the one statistic that best exemplifies the improving state of the world. The rising life expectancy immediately comes to mind, for to a dead person, all the other indicators of human well-being are irrelevant. Luckily, almost everyone knows that people today live much longer than our ancestors did. As such, I often end up talking about food consumption. For millennia, people lived on the edge of starvation. Today, starvation has disappeared outside of war-zones. Let’s look at some data.

    In his 1968 book The Population Bomb, Stanford University biologist and “overpopulation” alarmist Paul Ehrlich famously predicted that “The battle to feed all of humanity is over … hundreds of millions of people will starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now.” Between 1968 and 2017, the world’s population increased by 113 percent from 3.55 billion to 7.55 billion. Over the same time period, the average global food supply per person per day rose from 2,334 calories to 2,962 – a 27 percent increase.

    To put the magnitude of that achievement into proper perspective, consider the basic food consumption needs of your fellow human beings. The U.S. government’s Dietary Guidelines for 2015-2020 estimate that calorie needs per person per day range from 1,600 to 2,000 for women and 1,900 to 2,500 calories for men. That amounts to an average of 2,000 calories per person per day across sexes and over the entire human lifespan. Hence the crude “2,000 calorie diet” that every American knows about.

    Thank you, Norman Borlaug.

    Norman Borlaug’s approach to increasing global food production resulted in the saving of as many as 1 billion people worldwide from famine, starvation and death and earned him the title “Father of the Green Revolution.”

    Indeed, The Atlantic Monthly in 1997 said that “Norman Borlaug has already saved more lives than anyone who has ever lived.”

    I don’t know if it is Americans who first did this.   It’s just a new, radically reduced in size cryogenic gas freezing unit.  Storage could always be scaled down so that wasn’t a factor.  I don’t know if there were engineering or financial obstacles before, but apparently they’ve been overcome.  There are a number of outfits pursuing this gig.  I would give big props to the folks who did it first, whomever that might be.

    If you get the chance go back and read Texpat’s Norman Borlaug, link, great story.

    In a sense, when Borlaug received the Peace Prize on December 10, 1970, his life had come full circle. Here he was, the son of immigrants who had left Norway due to extreme food shortages, now, back in their country of origin to receive one of the world’s highest honors for his role in increasing the world’s food supply. As he stood in the great hall of the University of Oslo, Borlaug was lauded as an “indomitable man who fought rust and red tape . . . [and] who more than any other single man of our age, has provided bread for the hungry world.”

    Morning gang. First, the coronabeervirus (CBV). Regular flu has already killed thousands while CBV has killed a few hundred. Yet as usual, the press continues to float the pandemic story. Ignore it is my advice. It all about a bunch of docs and politicians trying to get a piece of the big government pie through fear and intimidation – the same old tried and true method that has worked for decades.

    Saving flare gas – great idea if it will pay without government subsidies. If it’s just another windmill/solar type project, just let the stuff flare.

    Pretty chilly up here in Big D, but the sun is out. I’ll get up and about here before long when it warms up. Need to get some gas for the car.

    Nevada’s powerful Culinary Union declines to endorse a 2020 candidate.

    Nevada’s powerful Culinary Workers Union will not endorse in the presidential primary, while criticizing Bernie Sanders’ signature “Medicare for All” proposal.

    In declining to pick a candidate — but calling for “choices” in health care — the union created an opening for Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar, two moderate Democrats with little demonstrated support in the state.

    And it was a further setback for Joe Biden, who has been desperate to reassert himself after two demoralizing finishes in Iowa and New Hampshire.

    “We’re going to endorse our goals,” Geoconda Argüello-Kline, the union’s secretary-treasurer, said at a news conference in Las Vegas. “We are not going to endorse a candidate.”

    I posted the story of the New Hampshire Democrat here when I saw it on the Medium, which is where it was originally published. That website is more likely to have lefty articles than those from the right.  I had not seen it anywhere else on the internet.

    Suddenly, it was featured everywhere, from Instapundit to Citizens’ Free Press.  Then I got in the car and Mike Gallagher was talking about it on the radio and so was Dennis Prager.  Sebastian Gorka also mentioned it.

    It happens to me often.  I think these people have hacked my computer.  The other day I posted three stories here, left the house, came back a few hours later and Glenn Reynolds at Instapundit had posted all three articles, consecutively in the same order, that I posted earlier.  Glenn should have given me (or Hamous.org) a hat tip.

    Nobody pays anything for content anymore.  A year or two ago, the prominent sociologist Charles Murray said in an interview how shocked he was when he had an article published in the New York Times and they sent him a check for only $75.  They used to pay in the hundreds or more.  I don’t know how these writers and freelancers survive.

    Back on LST, I might spend four or five hours reading, researching and verifying sources for one article.  It was hard work.  By the time I trimmed and self-edited the column to a length I thought people would read, the piece might be 12 paragraphs plus graphics.  If you do that for 75 bucks, you’re making perhaps $15 an hour.

    I got out of the doctor’s office with a script for diuretics only. I’ll also need to start paying attention to my sodium intake.

    Since the beginning of the year, I’ve been eating these prepared meals for lunch. They are shipped to the house and arrive late Sunday night. My wife looked it up and those lunches have 700 – 1100 mg of sodium. I would have never thought that since they arrive with ice packs and are freshly made.

    I’ll cut back in several places, but by golly I’ll be damned if I grill a ribeye without salt!

    #67 TexMo, I’m not a real big salt nut, but I do like it where it is appropriate, the wife, on the other is a salt nut-job. If you like grits, don’t let her salt it while cooking, I say that because grits need a lot of salt but the wife goes overboard on salt on anything. I decided a long time ago, that all the BS about salt is just that, BS, same with coffee, eggs/cholesterol and a few other million things. I quit worrying about all the scare tactics, years ago. Everything in moderation is the way to go, in MHO. FWIW; wife weighs in at about 100 Lbs, soaking wet and he blood pressure is something like 120 over 70. The point is 99% of all the medical problems that you will have, is hereditary, yes if you eat like a pig that’ll not help but some things you can’t control. I am very fortunate and have always ate anything that I wanted, I’m a little overweight at 185, but that has not changed in 35 years, and my only Issue is high blood pressure, that started in my 40’s. The two drugs that I take keeps me in the safe zone.
    Oh and my wife can eat twice as much as me, not always the case, but as I’ve gotten older, I just don’t eat as much as I used to.

    Fay has pretty much kept herself alive the last few months with diuretics and the scale. Along with her numerous other health problems, her Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease has come on strong over the last year. She is constantly weighing herself and can put on five pound of water weight in a twelve hour period, causing much discomfort with the added pressure on her heart and lungs.
    She hates taking the diuretics because the potty chair has to stay within a few feet of her.

    This morning I was in the back hallway grabbing the trash and heard a thud. She apparently lost her balance in the kitchen and hit the floor. Bumped her head on a kitchen cabinet. No apparent injuries. There’s probably no safer place to fall in that house, as it’s the only open area. I got her up into a chair and eventually she could shuffle back to bed.

    #63, That is interesting. They are kind of vague, or brief, looks like you need an electric instrument and plug in a transmitter. Supposed to work with basses. Wonder if it goes higher into mandolins. At just under $400 that is a lot of features for the price.

    OK, this is funny, I don’t care who you are. Several years ago, my wife got the old Red Mule from her brother and loved it. This past summer, I got her a fancy new one with a hard top but not wind screen. I told her we needed to get a wind shield for it because when it gets cold it is really nice. She refused because it didn’t look neat to her. So tonight she went down to feed the hens, after dark and was going to walk down and take the Dawg. I told her I’d move my truck so she could take her Mule and she said, I think it would be warmer if I walked. SO, I said you can take my old mule and she thought that was a good idea. Will we get a windscreen for the new one? probably not.

    I’m not much of a fan of these flat, non-metal-flake car paints that seem to be becoming popular. What about you?

    Looks like Avenatti is going to the Big House for a few years. How dumb do you have to be to run an extortion play on NIKE?

    Yesterday morning I had my last formal physical therapy session for my knee replacement done the end of October. There’s still some swelling around the replaced knee and down the leg to the ankle after a day of normal walking around activity that continues to diminish as days and weeks go by.

    I’m close to having a matched pair of knees again, though the next phase of recovery involves lots of walking to gain strength in both knees since my activity level was pretty much governed by how stiff the repaired knee was despite starting formal PT three days post-op. Walking around the nurses’ station late the afternoon of surgery counted as starting PT, but that was brief and not until you had your wits about you. Am still breaking adhesions that formed anyway while mobility was compromised, but that has been quite successful. You definitely control what you get out of PT by what you put into it in effort, and it is work.

    Fortunately the good knee that took on much of the work of the bad one has recovered nicely and has stopped complaining long ago. The PT just makes it stronger also.

    #77 Shannon,
    Prayers for Fay’s speedy recovery from the fall. Not fun to go splat on the floor no matter how old or young you are.

    Well, I’m sad that my optometrist Dr Frank Lin has bailed on the old Sears store, but the old Sears is not closing down. I saw this in the online HouChron today:

    After the Deerbrook and Willowbrook stores close, only two Sears locations will remain in the Houston area: the longtime North Shepherd location and Macroplaza Mall in Pasadena.

    Maybe McCabe and Vindman will open a business together.

    They could get a grant from the State Department for start-up money.

    Happy Valentine. Prayers up for those who need them, and glad to hear of all the improvements from my fellow bionic knee brothers/sisters. Just trying to do my share to reach the magic century mark. Night all.

    99 — In addition to both knees, I now have after-market work on leg veins. Anyone else had any of that done?

    All these years I didn’t realize it was a Malpaso movie and he directed.

    I believe that movie was his directorial debut.

    We’re at 16° and headed down to about 12°.   It’s still better than Mississauga.
