It was four
days before a vote that will be talked about for years. Of course, that irony
was probably lost on Senator Patty Murray (D-Wash.) -- but it wasn't lost on
us. The same woman leading the fight for legal infanticide chose last Thursday
to tour Seattle Children's Hospital, walking the long hallways where she would
argue only wanted kids deserve care.
"It was
wonderful to visit the @seattlechildren's
Hospital-North Clinic in Everett, WA this week," the
senator tweeted. "I had a great time meeting the dedicated staff and
seeing firsthand how they use their resources to serve children and families
throughout Northwest WA." But by early this evening, Patty Murray will
have taken the unbelievable position that some children don't deserve those
resources -- not even when they're lying alone in a hospital just like that
one, fighting to survive.
There will
be people like Senator Tim Kaine (D-Va.) who try to hide what they've just
done. They'll cloak their votes in comfortable words and euphemisms. "This
bill," he said earlier, "would establish new requirements for health
care practitioners in the case of a fetus who survives an abortion."
There's no such thing as a "fetus" who survives an abortion. There
are only newborns. Infants. Children.
