Senators spoke Tuesday regarding legislation that aims to protect babies who survive botched abortions as well as legislation that would make abortion illegal after 20 weeks when the unborn baby can feel pain: the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, which Republican South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham highlighted, and Sasse’s Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act.
Sasse accused Democrats, and specifically Democratic Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin, of purposefully obscuring conversation surrounding the Born-Alive Survivors Protection Act by painting the bill as “anti-abortion.”
“These are about babies that are born, that are outside their mother,” Sasse said.

“There’s nothing in the bill that’s about abortion,” Sasse added. “Nothing! It’s about infanticide. That’s the actual legislation. And you’ve got 44 people over there that want to hide from it, and talk in euphemisms about abortion, because they don’t want to defend the indefensible.”
“Because you can’t defend the indefensible,” the Nebraska senator said. “We are talking about killing babies that are born. That’s the actual legislation we are voting on today in the Senate. That’s what the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act is.”
Sasse also criticized CNN for a Tuesday report on both the Pain Capable Act and the Born Alive Act that described a baby who survived an abortion as a “fetus that was born.”
“News flash CNN,” he said, “If you’re a baby, and you’ve been born, and you’re outside of mama, nobody calls that a fetus. You just wanna call that a fetus because you don’t wanna cover the actual story that’s being voted on in the U.S. Senate today.”
