The occasional, often ill-considered thoughts of a Roman Catholic permanent deacon who is ever grateful to God for his existence. Despite the strangeness we encounter in this life, all the suffering we witness and endure, being is good, so good I am sometimes unable to contain my joy. Deo gratias!

Infanticide

"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I dedicated you..." [Jer 1:5]

My, oh my...I think the Senate Democrats have, with their latest vote, finally crossed a bridge that will collapse behind them. Truly a "bridge too far" from which there's no real return. They have fully embraced the culture of death in what has to be the most vile vote in the history of the United State Senate.

Three courageous Democrats, but only three  — Senators Robert Casey (PA), Joe Manchin (WV) and Doug Jones (AL) — joined all Republicans present in supporting a bill authored by Senator Ben Sasse (R-NB). The bill would have protected the lives of babies born alive after a botched abortion. Unbelievably, those 44 Democrats decided that these babies should be murdered by the abortionist if they happen to survive the procedure. (The bill needed 60 votes to pass.)

Of course these murderous 44 Senators have only echoed their fellow Democrats in New York, Virginia, Vermont, and other states. The Democrat Party, with just a very few exceptions, has now climbed aboard the infanticide bandwagon that will continue to crush the lives of our most innocent citizens under its wheels. 

Between now and the 2020 elections, this vote must be shouted from the rooftops. No one who voted against this bill should remain in the United States Senate. 

Pray for them, but vote against them.
