Just when I think the Left has finally hit bottom in American politics, Maryland’s Democratic majority in the state legislature is moving to legalize the murder-by-neglect of newborn infants as much as 28 days after their birth.
Read that again: The murder-by-neglect of newborn infants up to 28 days after their delivery into our world from their mother’s womb.
I can hardly believe it even as I write these words. Surely this cannot happen, could never happen, in America. But it is, in Maryland Senate Bill 669, the chief sponsor of which is state senator Will Smith.
Under Senate Bill 669, no person can be investigated or charged for “experiencing a miscarriage, perinatal death related to failure to act, or stillbirth.” The perinatal period consists of “the period shortly before and after birth, from the 20th to 29th week of gestation to one to four weeks after birth.”
In other words, it’s anywhere up to four weeks after the birth of the child you and your sexual partner conceived, and you decide you really don’t want the child, hey, no problem, just don’t feed it, don’t get medical care, don’t do a thing. Eventually, the child will die.
If this provision becomes law — and it almost certainly will be passed by the Maryland legislature’s Democratic majority over the veto of Republican Gov. Larry Hogan — every citizen of this state will become, willingly or unwillingly, an accessory to legalized infant genocide.
You think I exaggerate? As World Magazine‘s Erin Hawley explains:
“Understand what this means. The plain text of the bill legalizes the conscious decision to let a child die. Spontaneous abortions after 22 weeks are rare and not easily seen as ‘related to a failure to act.’ Thus, the bill contemplates the legalization of intentional infant death through neglect.
“And the bill goes so far as to preclude any investigations into perinatal infant death and to give a person the right to sue for civil damages if investigated for causing a perinatal death through neglect.”
Okay Mary Beth and Addie, where is your outspoken wrath against this bill?
Way to go, Maryland! You have now legalized murder…………..of infants, the most vulnerable of humans. What in the name of God is this state (and country) coming to? This is the most evil thing I ever heard of. You mean you would actually pass an outrageous bill like that? There is a very special place in hell for anyone condoning this act. For the ones that are for this…………it’s a shame your mother didn’t have that same option!!!! If she had, this world would be better off.
What kind of “parent” would do that? In my wildest imagination, I can’t see a human being doing this! Animals don’t even do anything like that. A lot of us might not be here today if this law had been in affect years ago. How can they possibly condone murder of an innocent newborn infant, when there are people out there who would be so blessed to take it. Shame on anyone who would even consider doing something like that. Have these kind of sub-humans never heard of birth control??
the MD Legislature is a chamber of death.
Well, you can’t have it both ways. The majority of incarcerated criminals plaguing the streets and your precious tax coffers come from people too stupid to know where babies come from and ill-prepared to raise them without Federal Assistance. I know in many’s minds they are innocent little Babes and perhaps the second coming of Christ or Tammy Faye but nature is cruel and termination is not a modern thing. There are not enough compassionate Christians of means to adopt all the ill-gotten refuse of ill-fated loins themselves. Abortion should include euthanizing the mother too.
So, just let ’em die???? You are as sick as the parents that would do that.
