The petition requires 218 signatures, meaning six Democrats would have to cross the aisle to force a vote on the legislation. The bill, however, faces strong Democratic opposition\u2014Democrats have blocked the bill on multiple occasions, most recently in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/latest-news\/senate-democrats-defeat-bid-to-protect-abortion-survivors\/\">February<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Ann Wagner (R., Mo.), who authored the legislation in the House, ripped Democrats for obstructing the legislation during a&nbsp;floor speech Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Again and again, more than 75 times, Democrats have refused to even allow a vote on my legislation,&#8221; Wagner&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RepAnnWagner\/status\/1382388617490931715\">said<\/a>. &#8220;This is shameful \u2026&nbsp;Do you support babies receiving life-saving care after they&#8217;re born? Or would you deny these children the care and murder them or leave them to die in front of you?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In a statement Wednesday, Cammack said the petition will &#8220;show the American people where their representatives stand on this critical issue.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Today&#8217;s discharge petition symbolizes our commitment to protecting the sanctity of life for all Americans, including the most vulnerable among us,&#8221; Cammack said. &#8220;For too long, Speaker Pelosi and House Democrats have demonstrated their disregard for this most basic right.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sen. Ben Sasse (R., Neb.) has led the charge to pass the bill in the Senate, clashing with Democratic senators who <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/politics\/you-cant-defend-the-indefensible-senators-clash-in-contentious-infanticide-debate\/\">described<\/a> the legislation as unnecessary because federal law already prohibits infanticide. Sasse&#8217;s legislation would have expanded the protections by including federal criminal penalties for failing to care for a newborn. He has introduced the bill in every legislative session since 2015.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bill that would protect infants who survive abortions faces staunch Democratic opposition  Getty Images  Graham Piro \u2022 April 15, 2021 2:30 pm &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2312243,"comment_status":"close","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/fb_image-2056.jpeg","fifu_image_alt":"House Republicans Push for Vote on Born Alive Bill","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-427764","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/fb_image-2056.jpeg","fifu_image_alt":"House Republicans Push for Vote on Born Alive Bill","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/427764","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=427764"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/427764\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2312243"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=427764"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=427764"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=427764"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
