Stauber Stands Up for Life
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Pete Stauber (MN-08) requested unanimous consent to bring H.R. 962, the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, to the House floor for a vote. For the 61st time, Speaker Pelosi and her leadership team refused to consider this legislation that would require physicians to give immediate, lifesaving care to babies that survive an abortion. Congressman Stauber released the following remarks after making the unanimous consent request.
"I was proud to stand on the House floor and demand a vote on this legislation because as the father of four beautiful children, I believe all life is precious and must be defended," said Stauber. "This commonsense legislation would simply require physicians to provide immediate medical care to a newborn child struggling to survive after a botched abortion. Morality would argue that this bill should have become law of the land years ago, and it is shameful that Speaker Pelosi and her Caucus continue to block its consideration. It is our job in Congress to stand up for the most vulnerable among us, so I will continue to fight to end the barbaric practice of infanticide."
