Letter: Protect abortion survivors

By Kevin Sudbeck, Camas
Published: February 9, 2019, 6:00am

Infanticide is now the platform for the national Democrat Party. Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., has blocked the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, a bill which would have required doctors to provide medical care to babies born alive during failed abortions.

However, not all Democrats support this abhorrent and extremist view of abortion. Democrats for Life has denounced the New York Abortion Law and Murray’s block on the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act. I call on all Democrats and Republicans of Southwest Washington to call Murray and tell her to end the block of this bill. You can call the Senator at 202-224-2621. More information about Democrats for Life can be found at https://www.democratsforlife.org.
