CHAIRMAN JOHNSON SLAMS SENATE DEMOCRATS FOR BLOCKING BILL TO PROTECT NEWBORN BABIES

WASHINGTON – Republican Study Committee Chairman Mike Johnson (R-La.) released the following statement after Senate Democrats blocked S. 130, the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act:

"Every single person should easily acknowledge that killing a living, breathing baby is murder. Shockingly, most of our Democrat colleagues in Congress would rather allow this heinous practice than oppose their far-left political base. This evening, we stood in the Senate chamber and watched more than 40 liberal senators block a measure that would afford babies who have survived abortion the same care any other newborn would receive. In the House, Democrats have already denied bringing this proposal to the floor seven separate times. This show of partisan politics is disgusting. We are better than this, and I will continue my fight to give a voice to the voiceless."
