President Donald Trump excoriated Senate Democrats on Feb. 26 for blocking a bill that would penalize doctors for failing to care for children who survive an abortion.
The senators voted 53-44 on a bill introduced by Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) that needed 60 votes to pass. The legislation sought to prohibit health care providers “from failing to exercise the proper degree of care in the case of a child who survives an abortion or attempted abortion.”
