‘Moderate’ Doug Jones demands that a 20-week-old ‘fetus’ be protected but only if completely born

Much has been made of U.S. Senator Doug Jones (D-AL) and his vote to block a bill that would ban abortions after 20 weeks.

This bill was a no brainer.

Jones’ vote for allowing this barbaric practice that kills a living human that can feel pain and survive outside the womb is probably the final nail in a nail-filled coffin for his political career.

This vote serves no purpose other than to placate the radical pro-abortion lobby in his party so political donations can continue to flow from California, New York, Washington, D.C. and other liberal bastions that want to see him keep his seat to stick it to Alabamians.

But, and this is important, Jones did cast a good vote on Tuesday as well. Jones broke rank with all but three of his abortion-crazy colleagues and voted to demand that medical practitioners provide aid to newborns that survive abortions.

The media and their Democrats tried their best to frame this as “fetuses that are born,” but that’s, as usual, a complete lie.

“Fetus” is Latin for “unborn human being.” Once the fetus is born it becomes a human being.

This is the “party of science” after all.

So, Senator Jones acknowledged that it would be wrong for doctors and nurses to stand around and let a born baby suffer and die.

Good for him.

This position separates him from post-birth abortion advocates like Governor “Blackface” Ralph Northam, but only barely.

If a 20-week-old fetus is born, Jones believes it shouldn’t be killed, but if the fetus is terminated via a partial-birth abortion, Jones is cool with that.

So let’s give credit where credit is due. Jones only voted to allow the killing of viable human babies if they can feel pain and are still partially in the womb.

Once they are out of the womb 100%, he draws the line.

Heroic.
