Here's just four (of 270+ documented) abortion survivors:
1️⃣ @melissaohden -- survived abortion attempt in 1977 at 31 weeks:
Here's documentation from St. Luke's hospital in Sioux City, Iowa showing Melissa survived an abortion attempt on her life:
Here's another hospital document showing the doctor believed Melissa to be 31 weeks:
2️⃣ @giannajessen -- survived abortion attempt in 1977 when her mother was 7 1/2 months pregnant.
Watch Gianna's testimony:
Here's Gianna's first birth medical record, indicating she was "Born during Saline abortion":
Here's Gianna's birth certificate listing infamous abortionist "Edward C. Allred, M.D.," as the physician who delivered her:
And here's an article from April 1978 describing Gianna's story in a story about the murder trial of abortionist William Waddill, who stood accused of strangling another saline abortion survivor:
3️⃣ @claireculwell -- survived abortion attempt 24 years ago:
In Christ Hospital (Oaklawn, IL):
- From 1995 - 2000, 11 - 26 babies born alive during abortion per year
- half the babies lived - each lived 1.5 - 3 hours (one lived almost an 8-hour shift)
2013: When asked what would happen to a baby born alive during an abortion at a Planned Parenthood abortion facility, Planned Parenthood @PPact lobbyist @alisalapolt says this is a decision for the mother and the abortionist:
Jan. 2019: Democratic Virginia State Delegate @KathyKLTran admits her bill permits abortion up until the moment of birth:
[If a child is born alive during an abortion] “the infant would be resuscitated if that’s what the mother and the family desired, and then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother.”
In just 4 states (of only 8 that report this data), 33 children were reported as being born alive during an abortion between 2019 - 2020.
States that report: Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Oklahoma, and Texas
A strong majority of voters agree babies born alive during an abortion deserve the same degree of medical care afforded to a "wanted" infant delivered at the same stage of development.
Just admit it. You kill more than 320,000 helpless American babies every year.
And you proudly support the barbaric practice of late-term abortion and even infanticide.
The American people deserve to know the truth about you.
We only need FIVE Democrats to cross the aisle and add their name to the discharge petition to bypass Pelosi & force a vote on the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act: clerk.house.gov/DischargePetit…

In June last year the Supreme Court handed down its decision in Dobbs, overturning the dated Roe v. Wade decision, returning the power to save lives from abortion to the people and their elected representatives -- at the state and federal level. 2/
Already this year, pro-life states have hit the ground running to advance measures that protect unborn lives & empower moms:
ALABAMA: Adoption reform
ARKANSAS: Safe-haven baby boxes; Ensure companies who pay for abortion travel also offer 16 weeks maternity leave 3/
THREAD: During tonight's #StateOfTheUnionAddress Biden will tell Americans a tragic and frightening, but deeply misleading story about post-Dobbs America – the idea that the pro-life movement is willing to let women die.
That is a blatant lie. 1/
Let’s be very clear: every pro-life law in the country allows necessary and timely medical treatment to save the life of a pregnant woman in an emergency. 2/
In this @LozierInstitute video, Ingrid Skop, M.D., F.A.C.O.G., a board-certified OB/GYN refutes Democrats’ false claim that pro-life laws prevent doctors from intervening to save a pregnant woman’s life: 3/
THREAD: As President Trump announces the launch of his 2024 presidential campaign, we're encouraging him, and all presidential contenders, to outline their pro-life vision and policy platform in the new Dobbs era. 1/
President Trump raised the bar for what it means to be a pro-life presidential candidate and president.
As a candidate, he made written commitments to the pro-life movement and exposed Hillary Clinton’s extreme abortion views on the debate stage. 2/
As president, he kept his promises to the pro-life movement, chief among them to only nominate pro-life judges to the Supreme Court.
Thanks to President Trump keeping his word, we got Justices Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Barrett – and therefore, the historic Dobbs decision. 3/
Ron will continue to stand with pro-life Wisconsinites for common sense & popular pro-life measures #WISen#LifeWins22 1/
Senator Johnson went on offense, defining Mandela Barnes as an abortion extremist:
"The most extreme position here would be no limits on abortion whatsoever — allowing abortion right until the moment of birth, which is what [Barnes] supports." 2/
Together with our partner org, Women Speak Out PAC, we fought hard to elect @RonJohnsonWI.
