Important things. We can right wrongs.\u2019 Well, here\u2019s a chance to do just that,&#8221; Sasse said.<\/p>\n<p>The bill sets up another showdown with congressional Democrats, who have repeatedly defeated the legislation in recent years. Fifty-six senators <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/politics\/dem-candidates-skip-senate-born-alive-vote\/\">voted<\/a> for the legislation in February 2020, putting it just short of the 60-vote threshold required for passage. Three Senate Democrats voted for the legislation, along with every Republican senator. With a more favorable margin for the Democrats in the Senate in 2021, however, the bill is unlikely to garner significant bipartisan support.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Ann Wagner (R., Mo.) took up the legislation in the House of Representatives in 2020.\u00a0Three Democrats <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/politics\/house-dems-defeat-born-alive-amendment\/\">crossed the aisle<\/a> to vote with House Republicans for the legislation, but all three of those Democrats lost their reelection bids.<\/p>\n<p>Forty-five Republican senators cosponsored the bill. Polling indicates that despite mixed views on abortion, the American public overwhelmingly <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/issues\/voters-oppose-democrats-stance-on-abortion\/\">favors<\/a> the act&#8217;s contents.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to Sasse&#8217;s reintroduction of the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.) reintroduced legislation Wednesday\u00a0that would ban abortions after 20 weeks. This legislation has also met defeat on multiple occasions in Congress.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/latest-news\/sasse-reintroduces-infant-protection-bill\/\">Sasse Reintroduces Infant Protection Bill<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\">Washington Free Beacon<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republican senator Ben Sasse (Neb.) reintroduced an act Thursday protecting newborns who survive failed abortion attempts.
