WTF?
I would like to point out that there is already on this….it is called murder…..or if you need the official academic term it is infanticide.
A post-birth abortions is murder, right?
This stupidity came out of the mouth of a person who personifies stupid, Ron DeSantis.
Republican presidential candidate Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said in a recent interview that some states allow abortion after an infant has already been born.
CNN host Jake Tapper asked DeSantis whether he would support a federal abortion ban as president. DeSantis, who signed Florida’s contested six-week abortion ban in April, said he would be a “pro-life president,” but gave no direct answer.
“In some liberal states,” he said, “you actually have post-birth abortions and I think that’s wrong.”
Some on social media thought DeSantis misspoke, but the post-birth abortion claim is something that Republicans and anti-abortion activists have repeated for years, before the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June 2022.
The claim was wrong then, and it is wrong now: Willfully terminating a newborn’s life is not legal in any state.
…
When asked for evidence to support his claim, a DeSantis campaign aide pointed us to two resources, neither of which established that states sanction killing newborns.
One was a press release outlining Republican support for a bill advocates say would require infants get medical care after attempted abortions. Opponents say the new bill is redundant under the “Born-Alive Infants Protection Act of 2002.“
The other was a webpage from the Charlotte Lozier Institute, an anti-abortion organization, that explored cases in which it said abortion attempts failed and babies were born. But it contained a number of irrelevant or erroneous citations. For example, one 2018 study that it cited referred to second-trimester abortions in Europe, not the U.S., and found that half resulted in live births, with most babies dying within minutes. The study’s authors said the abortions were sought because of anomalies or genetic abnormalities. The gestational age represents a range when many fetuses cannot yet survive independently.

What sort of moron believes this shit?
NO one advocates the killing of newborns….NO ONE!
Infanticide is illegal in all 50 states…..in case you are an idiot.
These anti-choice people will make up shit and have it become everyday….this has been picked up by another Floridian, Marco Rubio, another drooling half-wit.
This is pure bullshit….like everything else that comes from the mouth of a Republican. and the supporters that buy into manure.
When characterizing a Repub all I can say is….’ignorance in and stupid out’.
I Read, I Write, You Know
“lego ergo scribo”
I don’t know where this stuff is coming from. It’s along the same lines as the claim that abortions are reversible somehow and that ectopic pregnancies are viable. What do you expect from people who believe in Jewish space lasers, that kids in public school are turning “furry”, etc?
These sort of things just makes me shake my head at the stupidity. chuq
I fully agree. And perhaps we can cite “late-term, post-birth infanticide” as simple adult warfare. Give it a label and you have a cause. But what do I know. I’m too busy enjoying my life as an entitled white man… of course at the expense of what my European ancestors did to African slaves and indigenous peoples… and my swimming ancestors in the primordial ooze.
Primordial ooze…..sounds like an STD….or a GOP congressional committee. chuq
Either would have the same effect…. you just gotta wait out the pain that you inflicted on yourself based on having little or no protection.
Proper protection is the answer…..chuq
Just when you think it can’t get worse, or more stupid, shit like this comes along. And spouted by someone is a position of high authority too.
Best wishes, Pete.
Like I said…information….’ignorance in, stupid out’. chuq
