Faith & Freedom Coalition Statement On Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act Discharge Petition

Washington, DC – Faith & Freedom Coalition Executive Director Timothy Head released the following statement in response to the discharge petition filed today in the U.S. House of Representatives to force a floor vote on the Born Alive Survivors Protection Act.

“It is unconscionable that the Democratic leadership in the U.S House will not allow a vote on legislation to protect infants from an excruciating death without any medical care or comfort merely because they dared to survive a botched abortion. Once a baby is born, both sides of the political aisle should be able to agree without argument that it is a heinous and criminal act to withhold medical care to a newborn baby. But, unfortunately, House conservatives are having to force Democrats to vote whether or not to protect the most innocent human life.”
