He was just
a first-year pediatric resident when a hospital housekeeper came to him,
panicked. "There's a baby," she said, "crying on the garbage can
of the treatment room." Wide-eyed, Dr. Rocco Pascucci opened the door and
saw him -- wrapped in a hospital blanket, wailing. Without a second thought, he
reached out for the newborn boy and rushed him to a warmer, starting oxygen and
an artery line. Dr. Pascucci never stopped to think why the baby had been left
there. He just did what anyone would. Anyone, it turns out, except 41 members
of the U.S. Senate.
To everyone
but these 41 Democrats, it's that simple. No, it is not
rare -- a lie we hear from endless talking heads. And even if it were,
who cares? These are human beings. If that one life were your life,
wouldn't it matter? "Some will say that a bill to ensure medical care for
babies born after failed abortions is unnecessary because it doesn't happen
that often," Senator Mike Braun (R-Ind.) argued Monday. "It doesn't
matter how common it is, it matters if it's right or wrong."
For all but
three Senate Democrats, no excuse is good enough. Opposing a bill that saves
newborn lives is barbaric. "If there is a persuasive and principled case
why America should remain on the radical international fringe on this subject,
let us hear it," McConnell told
his colleagues on the Senate floor. "The [people] I speak with cannot
comprehend why this would be some hotly-debated proposition. It almost defies
belief that an entire political party could find cause to object to this basic
protection for babies. And yet today... even something this simple and this
morally straightforward is a bridge too far for the Left."
