A\u00a0recent Facebook trend<\/a> was a welcome sight for many\u00a0frustrated pro-lifers who continue to wait upon Congress to pass\u00a0protections for preborn babies.<\/p>\n

Senator Ben Sasse (R-NE) and pro-life activist Jill Stanek penned a piece\u00a0for National Review published June 9, titled, “Abortion Survivors Deserve Our Care<\/a>.”\u00a0Sasse has sponsored the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which already passed the U.S. House of Representatives. The article gained traction on Facebook and was featured in the Trending section. Even Facebook’s description of the article should encourage pro-lifers, as it did\u00a0not obscure the truth…<\/p>\n

The authors wrote Thursday in National Review to support the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which would offer protections for children who survived abortion or attempted abortion.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In their article<\/a>, Sasse and Stanek explain the horrors of convicted abortionist Kermit Gosnell<\/a>, who aborted babies so late in gestation\u00a0that some\u00a0of them were born alive before he “snipped”\u00a0their spines to kill them. But\u00a0while Gosnell is in prison,\u00a0there are others like him<\/a>\u00a0who continue to kill babies and freely function in society\u00a0because\u00a0not enough is being done to enforce protections for the preborn:<\/p>\n

\n

Despite the fact that Americans on both sides of the abortion debate were horrified to learn about Gosnell\u2019s cruelty, federal law does not adequately protect a born child who survives an abortion. Some say these protections are unnecessary, but we know grim reality says otherwise.<\/p>\n

We know abortionist Kermit Gosnell routinely murdered abortion survivors, and there may be others out there like him. We know abortion survivors have been put on shelves to die without medical assessments or assistance in hospitals\u2019 soiled utility rooms.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In Texas, abortionist Douglas Karpen<\/a>\u00a0committed Gosnell-like\u00a0atrocities. But with nurses complaining of ‘meat market’<\/a> conditions even at Planned Parenthood<\/a>, it’s extremely likely that\u00a0Karpen and Gosnell are not alone.<\/p>\n

Planned Parenthood,\u00a0the nation’s largest abortion chain, has shown that they are just as extreme as Karpen and Gosnell by\u00a0lobbying against<\/a>\u00a0a bill to protect babies born alive in Florida:<\/p>\n
