re: Colorado Democrats Vote Down Bill Mandating Medical Care To Born-Alive Survivors Of Aborti

In the past year, how many times has there been a live birth after a botched abortion?

Is it a massive, pervasive problem, screaming for legislative action?

In 2017, in a single state (Minnesota), there were 10,000 abortions. 3 were born alive after a failed abortion.

That is one state, in one year. 0.03 percent.

Massive problem? Well yeah-- .03 percent is actually pretty darn significant. That is 3 children out of 10,000 and those 3 children deserved the chance for resuscitative efforts. Would you not agree?

These infants are born alive and not provided resuscitation efforts, and in some cases euthanized outright.

So yep, I would say that a law aimed to compel a PHYSICIAN to provide care for a living infant is not irrelevant.

I will even quote you numbers from a leftist source, so you don't freak out about some right-wing news site
