  The Christian pulpit drives republicans.  And that pulpit cares only for the life of a fetus or the first few seconds after the fetus is born.  We know this because republicans at every level fight the aid to pregnant mothers and those mothers with newly delivered babies.  They care only for the birth and for nothing after.  Ugh.
context: First of all, premature infants alive after an abortion is not a thing.
  Secondly:
  
  The bill wouldn't impose any penalties on the mother of an infant who was born after the procedure fails.
  
  False reassurance. They don't need to put it in this bill. They already have laws or will pass laws to punish the mother. >
  
  Thirdly; this entire idea was created from taking a quote from a Virginia governor candidate wildly out of context.
  They characterized it as "he said that kids that survive an abortion should be thrown in the trash."
  What he actually said was "If a child is born with a terminal and incurable illness, and it will quickly die, then the doctor should respect the parents' wishes about whether or not to put the kid through life-saving procedures which cannot save its life and will only prolong its suffering.  The government shouldn't force itself into that terrible situation." >
  
  On the bright side no way this passes the democrat controlled senate. But this gives you a good look into what there going to pass if they regain control of the senate. >
  
  It gives you an idea of what is the goal of the right wing.  They never change their goal.  They shift positions to get that goal. >
  
  Yep. This was also a ballot proposal in Montana that failed back in November. It basically says that if a baby survives an abortion procedure, then the doctors will be forced to deliver it and treat it like any other case of premature birth, or else they will be jailed for five years. >
  
  I'm no doctor, but wouldn't this be what they would do anyways should this impossibility arise?
  Like, once it's out, then it already has the individual rights they're trying to apply to this... Individual? >
  
  A solution in search of a problem.
  Expect to see a lot more of this with this current republican party.
