Roger Marshall: “at a time when Vladimir Putin is killing Ukrainians, my Democratic colleagues want to kill more unborn American children…”

“at a time when Vladimir Putin is killing Ukrainians, my Democratic colleagues want to kill more unborn American children for any reason up until the moment the baby takes its first breath--up until the moment the baby takes its first breath. Indeed, this bill should be called the ``Abortion on Demand Until Birth Act.'' This is the most egregious, horrific attack on the lives of unborn children and the health of moms in American history. In fact, if my Democratic colleagues had their way, this baby whom I delivered years ago could have been murdered--aborted--the moment prior to this cesarean section. Listen, just for a moment, to what this bill would do. No. 1, it goes far and beyond Roe v. Wade by invalidating State laws that protect the unborn child and the health and the well-being of moms. It would likely lead to taxpayer-funded abortions at home and abroad. It would tie up faith-based hospitals in courts for their not offering abortion services. This bill fully blows open the door to sex-based abortions. It eliminates the requirement for informed consent or parental consent. It eliminates conscience protections. I can tell you, as a physician myself, I wouldn't be surprised if half of the medical students in the Nation and half of the nursing students in the Nation would quit medical school or nursing school if they were going to be forced into participating in abortions. This bill has a total disregard for women's health.…”
