One of the most depraved and ghoulish things to watch in American politics is when pro-abortion Democrat politicians twist themselves into pretzels in order to justify voting against “Born Alive” bills proposed by pro-life Republicans.
Typically, what “Born Alive” bills are about are enshrining into law that doctors must provide life-saving care to an infant in the event it is born alive as the result of a botched medical abortion. Contra to what abortion fanatics say, they are not bills designed to “undermine Roe v. Wade” because nowhere in any of the “Born Alive” bills that have been proposed whether in the U .S. You have never seen language in Congress, or at state level that would prohibit abortions. It’s all about making sure care is provided for the baby.
In recent years, the Virginia state legislature has seen some contentious discussions about abortion bills. One such bill, by Democrat Kathy Tran, in 2019, would effectively remove all protections from third-trimester baby and would, sickeningly, allow abortions to occur while a woman is giving birth.
Disturbingly, then-Gov. Ralph Northam (D), who is also a pediatric neurologist, went on a radio program to justify his ghoulish support of Tran’s bills by saying that under the bill, an allegedly unviable baby that is born alive “would be kept comfortable … and would be resuscitated if that’s what the mother and the family desired.”
Fast forward to March 2022, and Virginia Republicans and Democrats are embroiled in a related battle, except in this case it was over a “Born Alive” bill proposed by Republican Delegate Nick Freitas, a bill which would not only have required doctors to administer life-saving care to the baby but also called for its transport to a hospital for more extensive care.
Though the bill passed the Republican-controlled House in February, it was rejected by 11 Senate Democrats on the Rules Committee last Friday, and with March 12th being the last day of this legislative session, that means the bill is toast unless/until someone brings it up again during a future session.
Freitas was the one to be defended. He delivered one of most moving and heartfelt speeches in support of baby’s who were still alive after botched abortions. According to Freitas, the matter is very personal because people suggested that his mother abort him while he was still a child. He said that obviously, she chose not to, but it “cost her quite a bit to do it.”
Not only did Freitas promise to propose this legislation again, but he also took a blow torch to Democrats including the Planned Parenthood representatives who testified during the debate on the bill using tiresome talking points that don’t hold water:
Freitas stated that he was present at the Senate committee meeting and heard the testimony of a woman who had survived a saline abort. Late-term abortion involves injecting toxic salt into the womb in order to gradually scald the baby. This can take as long as three days and then inducing labor to give birth to the deceased baby.
Right after the abortion survivor’s testimony, he said a Planned Parenthood lobbyist testified that the bill is unnecessary and hateful, and its purpose is merely to stigmatize. The bill was killed by Democrat lawmakers.
Freitas said the moment reminded him of something his father, a homicide detective, had once told him: “I remember asking him, ‘How is it possible that people will do this to one another?’ and he said, ‘Nick, you will be shocked at the justification that is used by people to commit certain acts.’”
Later, he said his father told him, “’Nick, the worst part is not when you’re shocked, the worst part is when you stop being shocked.’”
Freitas continued to inform his coworkers that it was crucial that, despite defeats such as the one he suffered with his bill, good men and women don’t back down.
“…my father also taught me something else and that is when the innocent are in peril, the strong have an obligation and a duty to stand up and defend them even if they are the only ones to do it.”
“Reasonable people can disagree about a host of things,” he also stated. “Whether or not an innocent child should be given life-saving care after surviving a failed abortion attempt shouldn’t be one of them.”
Amen. Watch:
There are many things that reasonable people disagree on. Whether or not an innocent child should be given life-saving care after surviving a failed abortion attempt shouldn’t be one of them. pic.twitter.com/pJ0xRHaxeO

Here’s a strong reminder for anyone who needs to remember why pro-lifers must never give up.
