During the CBS vice presidential debate, Democrat Tim Walz tried to pretend Republican JD Vance was crazy for saying Walz wants infants who survive abortions to die. Vance was not crazy — he was right.
Yes, Tim Walz supports infanticide. He signed a repeal of legislation that protected babies born alive after botched abortions. Under Walz’s tenure as governor of Minnesota, eight babies have been allowed to die after surviving attempted abortion. That’s how sick pro-abortion radicals like Walz are, and that’s yet another reason Walz should never be vice president.
Vance challenged Walz during the debate to “explain this to me, but as I read the Minnesota … statute that you signed into law, it says that a doctor who presides over an abortion where the baby survives, the doctor is under no obligation to provide life-saving care to [that] baby who survives a botched late-term abortion. That is, I think, whether you’re ‘pro-choice’ or pro-abortion, that is fundamentally barbaric.”
It certainly is, and Vance hammered his point home, noting how Walz’s running mate believes in forcing Americans to violate their conscience on abortion and life issues. “Do you want to force Catholic hospitals to perform abortions against their will? Because Kamala Harris has supported suing Catholic nuns to violate their freedom of conscience. We can be a big and diverse country where we respect people's freedom of conscience and make the country more pro-baby and pro-family,” Vance added.
Last year, the Minnesota legislature repealed the “Born Alive Infants Protection Act,” and Walz signed the bill that did so. The infamous Minnesota bill to which Vance refers is reportedly S.F. 2995, passed last year, which removes the requirement for abortionists to report if born alive infants survived or were allowed to survive, thus removing protections for such infants.
This translated into very real and very deadly results for eight babies between 2019 and 2021, all during Walz’s tenure as governor.
