For years, we’ve been saying that abortion is not about reproductive rights or women’s rights. It is about normalizing murder, and the Party of Death (Democrats) in Maryland have proposed the next step on that path.
Senate Bill 699 (666 would have been better) is titled the Pregnant Persons Freedom Act and would prohibit (in part) “investigations and criminal prosecutions for women and medical professionals for a “failure to act” in relation to a “perinatal death.”
And what does that mean? “A definition on MedicineNet, a website owned by WebMD, defines it as “the 20th to 28th week of gestation” to “1 to 4 weeks after birth.”
If signed into law, a newborn could be left to die at any point during the first month of birth and no one would be allowed to investigate that death.
“In other words, a baby born alive and well could be abandoned and left to starve or freeze to death,” Summers wrote, “and nothing could be done to punish those who participated in that cruel death.”
LifeSite News notes that under Maryland Law there’s no reason for this change. Existing Safe Haven Laws allow new parents to drop a baby off at any hospital or law enforcement location and abandon custody, no questions asked.
So, if there is no reason for the change why make it?
What possible motivation could Democrats have for proposing or supporting a bill that effectively legalizes infanticide during the first four weeks of life?
Either dead babies are a more important priority or it is the further devaluing life.
Why would a political party obsessed with the micromanagement of our daily existence want or benefit from a cultural indifference to life?
Stalin, Hitler, and Mao know the answer.
Abortion by any means, whenever needed, regardless of age.
