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.”

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.”

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.
