  1. Watching all this from developed and civilized Europe you get the Impression of a religious culture Clash of a left-behind underdeveloped medieval country – No, America, I can only spit on you

  2. God is good, and He shall punish the evil!

  3. Wrong message at wrong time? The message is that Republicans have moral convictions and that Democrats are such slimeballs that they can vote against providing lifesaving medical care to at-risk newborns.
    My first reaction to this Abortion Survivor bill was, "What?!" I thought that similar legislation had previously passed. I also remembered Obama's lifelong opposition to any such protection of abortion survivors. At the time, his was a minority opinion. Our country's morals have degraded to such an extent that only one Democrat had the decency to vote against infanticide.
    The stumbling, bumbling, stuttering Nadler said, "The problem with this bill is NOT that it makes anything, that it is, is not that it provides any new protection from infants. The problem with this bill is that it endangers some infants by stating that that infant must immediately be brought to the hospital."
    In addition to Nadler's Freudian slip, "protection FROM infants", this is totally insane mental gymnastics. How can a baby be endangered by removing it from an abortion mill where they are all highly trained in KILLING babies and taking it in an ambulance to a hospital where it can receive life saving care? Even the ambulance would be a safer place than the abortion clinic. And who in their right mind believes that Nadler and his fellow depraved leftist apparatchiks really care about these infants? They are perfectly comfortable with them being murdered in the womb but a few moments later they want to protect this life? It's the same life, the same baby!

    BTW, what was Jeffries gasbagging about when he mentioned "a decision that should be between a woman, her family, and her doctor"? Really? Does the father of a child have any say in the matter as to whether his baby is murdered? After all, half of the child's DNA is his. No! Zero input. And yet if she has the child against his wishes he is financially responsible. It sounds like "Heads I win, tails you lose".

  4. Democrats: we want it dead and don’t you try to stop us.

  5. by the way turd if the baby is born alive it’s no longer a fetus!

  6. why can’t they just stop killing babies?

  7. It is horrific so many on the left oppose this. It's evil.

  8. The bill going to go nowhere in the US Senate.

  9. It passed! 🙌 👏🏽 👏🏽

  10. Good, now ban abortion for good!

  11. More top secret documents just discovered in Joe Biden's garage. But Chuck Todd AKA Rat Face will not tell you that

  12. Dems don't want black or brown babies to survive at all, the Democrats will not admit it or planed Parenthood but they want to lower the minorities population.

  13. Mary

    This was passed 20 years ago by George W Bush. The Born Alive Infants Protection Act in 2002 protecting the unborn from a failed abortion. At any rate they need to keep their nose out of peoples bedrooms.

  14. If terminating a human in his or her early stages of development is morally acceptable then terminating a human in ANY stage of his or her development MUST also be acceptable.

  15. This law should apply to everyone except demorats! Should Biden encourage all demorats to ALWAYS seek an abortion? I believe their should at least be a policy that if one is a registered demorat any new pregnant man or woman be REQUIRED to abort their first born!

  16. If the abortion failed, why not save the baby's life? Obviously, it's a sign from God.

  17. the GQP doesn't give two sh*ts about children that are already born. they just want to waste time on stupid stuff that won't help anyone

  18. The House of Republicans don't realize that they still need the Senate vote for their bills to pass, which is majority Democratic. Their abortion bills will most likely go nowhere. If they do pass the senate, and if you've seen how Biden and Harris react to subjects like that, the bill will most likely be vetoed.

    Let's not forget how 2 states ended up becoming blue and there are red states that voted for abortion to be legalized? The Republican House is basically telling the Americans Citizens that they are only representing what they, and their party want, which is NOT the American people. What they are doing is visual proof of how much they care for YOU.

  19. Where oh where to start, what are the advantages to a relationship with a woman these days? Well …. let's start with the risks and disadvantages and see what's left.

    Until recently and in some states still is legal.

    1. To murder your own unborn son or daughter without your consent. (up to the time of birth in some states)

    2. No fathers rights unless your married ( which 50% of the U.S. population is single)

    3. If you go to court you are almost sure to lose since A you have no rights and B the courts nearly always side with the mother.

    4. If you are married they will take half if not more than all your possesions and you might get to see your children once or twice a month, depending on what the courts say.

    5. Even if you don't get to see your children you may very well still have to pay for them until they reach the age of 18 years old.

    I could continue but now let's talk about the advantages.

    I'll have to get back to you.

  20. how dare they stop outright murder.

  21. Crazy how they want to protect abortion facilities and don't want to protect unborn babies. The end is near

  22. This reporter needs to be taken out before he causes more babies to die

  23. What is a fetus if not a person ? How evil can you be

  24. So now your ok with killing babies born outside the womb

  25. Ha ha!! …It passed!👍

  26. Do you any of you even understand what the bill is about? It’s about making doctors give care to babies already born, OUTSIDE the womb who are literally alive and breathing, who survived a failed abortion. This isn’t extreme, most countries in the world have limits on abortion. And most countries in the world would agree that killing this life is murder! Unless of course you want to live in communist China and North Korea.

  27. Lol the GOP wants to continue losing elections I guess. 😂

  28. Pregnancy resource centers? Lol!

  29. A bill based around propagandized fear mongering nonsense.

  30. They didn't learn anything from the election that happen when they lost they don't understand women rights at all the republican idiots

  31. And Biden ..fumbles on the one yard line!

  32. They want to cut funding for school lunches. These people are not pro life.

  33. When do Repuglicans care about protecting LIFE EVER?
    Anti health care
    Anti child care
    Anti baby formula
    Anti worker
    Anti housing
    Anti science
    Anti social security
    Anti Medicare
    Anti Veterans

    But BOTH SIDES AGREE ON INCREASING THE MILITARY BUDGET EVERY YEAR.

  34. GOP tried to burn the capital. I agree something needs to be done.

  35. No it shouldn't be up to the states,it should be up to a woman and her doctor, the government needs to stay out of our business!

  36. ROMANS CHAPTER 1 VERSES 26/32✍️

  37. They need to keep their noses out of our vaginas, we don't tell them what to do!

  38. Republicans are out of touch with their electors. Have they not been taking notice of what the issues are? This bill is about appeasing their conservative , far right members.

  39. Love the sign! Love all human lives!
