Infanticide

This last February our elected officials voted on a series of bills about this topic of "infanticide", or in this case when an abortion is attempted and the child instead is born alive and medically viable.  Here I have put two links, one is to Sen. Sasse's website, they host the actually floor talks and videos because no real debate happens.  The other is to the actual bill, so you can read for yourself what was put forth.

1. Sen, Sasse's floor discussion
2. Senate Bill S.130

Senator Sasse, says "I want to ask each and every one of my colleagues whether we're okay with infanticide," this is blunt and our society today does not handle directness well.  To often it seems we respond with screaming, running away or seeking safe spaces where the inhumanity that is happening can be soothed away with kind words. Here is a man who is at least trying to do what he has promised to do during his campaigning.
Looking at the date on this, you could probably be asking why would I be bringing this up now?  First, I haven't been able to watch TV and these debates are usually shown on CSPAN at odd hours.  Secondly, I had just heard the senate communities hearing being played on CSPAN radio and was heartbroken by a Nurses testimony and the hospitals policy for handling the "children" that survive.  I had just read an article about Roman households and how if the Patreanus (head adult male) did not acknowledge a child after it has been born, the infant is taken and just put out on the sidewalk or a meaden heap!
It is a modern day euthanization of the unwanted, those who are weakest or the different are not being protected by those who can!  To think, even worse is happening in Europe, it hurts my heart to think...
