Senate Democrats Deaf to Cries of Born Alive Babies

Brooklyn, NY – State Chairman, Jerry Kassar, decried the deafness of Senate Democrats yesterday, when they flatly refused to consider an amendment from the floor, put forward by Sen. Pam Helming, that would have restored a key provision in NY’s Public Health Law, removed by the Reproductive Health Act in January, that mandated doctors to take immediate life-saving actions if an abortion resulted in a live birth.

The amendment sought to reverse the abhorrent infanticide action established by the Governor’s signing of the Krueger/Glick bill known as the Reproductive Health Act and re-establish the fact
that infants born alive are human beings and must be protected. The amendment would have reinstated penal law protections when an individual intentionally performs or attempts to perform an overt act that ends the life of an innocent child born alive as the result of an abortion.

An infant that has survived the brutal attempt to end its life during an abortion procedure justifies every effort of protection and procedures to keep this resilient individual alive and well.

The fact that Democrats kept silent when Sen. Helming offered her amendment is a very sad day in New York State. Since the beginning of time, human beings have celebrated the birth of a child; it is, without doubt, one of the happiest (and sometimes difficult) times of life’s journey. When an innocent child comes into this world and they remind us that life is a precious gift to be celebrated, protected and kept secure until able to travel life’s journey on their own.

Yesterday, every Democrat, in the NYS Senate, sat silent and deaf to the cries of a baby born alive in a botched abortion.

One can’t help but wonder what astounding accomplishments a born-alive infant could achieve. One of the most successful men in America, Steve Jobs, who literally changed the way we communicate, was an unwanted child whose mother considered abortion. While Steve Jobs was not a born-alive infant, he narrowly escaped death by abortion. As an adult, Jobs expressed gratitude that his mother didn’t abort him.

We will never know if a born-alive infant, that the NYS Democrats, would not defend, could change the world the same way Steve Jobs did. How many lives have been changed, just by the actual jobs he created? We will never know, because the Democrats in the NYS Senate were deaf to the cries of the born-alive babies.

We have their attention!  Here is some press coverage of our press conference on Saturday in Onondaga County.  here and here. Unfortunately, for all New Yorkers’, Gov.

The democratic controlled legislative Houses are on the same ideological tracks the Governor is traveling on; or has the Legislature dragged the Governor to their ill-conceived ideals.  Either way, the safety of New Yorkers’ is at risk.

The New York Sun had an excellent editorial  on the unbelievable bill the NYS (Democratic controlled) Senate passed yesterday allowing the state tax commissioner release Mr. Trump’s tax return to one of three Congressional committees.

Have the majority members of the democratic controlled NYS Senate even read the US Constitution?  The U.S. Constitution’s Fifth Amendment contains a Double Jeopardy Clause, which says that no person shall “be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb.”  A Bill passed by the democratic controlled NYS Senate , yesterday, would only allow state charges to be brought against a pardoned individual with direct ties to Trump, either through his family, their work on his campaign, or their work in the White House.   How can this bill survive a legal challenge?  When did the NYS Senate become a body that seeks to use political retribution on its “enemies” instead of a body that seeks to protect its citizens with sound solid policy?  The answer is obviously: January 1, 2019!

Wade decision which is the law of the land.  (It isn’t as if the US Supreme Court never made a really bad decision and overturned itself. )  Watch the segment here ; it will be a stark reminder on just how far the pro-abortionists’ have degenerated.

Senator Elizabeth Warren should be reading this article  to truly understand the basis of how and why impeachment is called for in our US Constitution.  Calling for impeachment is political and was included in the US Constitution to protect the balance of power between the three branches of government.  However, Senator Warren has no basis to call for President Trump’s impeachment as President Trump has not committed a crime.  Her actions are purely political and completely misleading

The NYS Senate is poised to pass S.221-A today and you should know it continues Governor Andrew Cuomo’s need to put convicted felons on equal footing as those who have never broken any law nor done anything the least bit detrimental to a fellow human or four-footed furry critter.  The Bill they are planning on passing lifts the lifetime ban on jury duty for convicted felons who have completed their sentencing.  Think about that for a moment:  a person who has served time in prison for breaking a (or many) law(s) will now be able to sit in judgement of another person accused of breaking the law.  I wonder how many hung juries will be the result?  A 10% increase, 20%, maybe even a 50% increase, costing taxpayer’s additional money for retrials.  What about the stress on the victims when they have to relive the terror of the crime again due to a retrial?  Or what if the DA declines to try the suspect again and he/she walks free and continues to commit crimes.  There is no doubt that people deserve second chances and should not have to wear a scarlet letter around their neck, but in saying that, a convicted felon on a jury is not what those who signed the Magna Carta calling for a “jury of their peers” meant.   Our 6th Amendment gives the suspect many rights, including an impartial jury; the likelihood that a convicted felon on a jury will be impartial is zero.
