Dick Durbin Voted NAY to Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act

U.S. Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) took to the floor of the U.S. Senate on Wednesday, January 22, 2025 to speak against the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act. This federal legislation would protect babies who survive a failed abortion and mandate medical care. By a 52-47 vote along party lines, the Republican-led upper chamber failed to invoke cloture on the “Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act.” A two-thirds majority was needed for consideration of the legislation to commence. It is astounding that protecting precious human lives is a partisan issue.
