Dr. James Dobson Condemns "Abhorrent Decision" by Colorado Legislature to Vote Down a Bill Protecting Surviving Victims of Abortion

February 13, 2020 — The following quote may be attributed to Dr. James Dobson, President of the James Dobson Family Institute, regarding a Colorado legislative committee’s decision to vote down a bill requiring doctors to offer care to babies born alive during abortion procedures:

 

 

"This week, representatives in my home state of Colorado made a decision that a child's life is expendable. Specifically, legislative committee members voted down a bill that would have required doctors to provide medical care for a baby born alive following an attempted abortion.

"Make no mistake, this is not about ‘abortion access’ or the 'right to choose.' This is not about 'bundles of cells' or 'clumps of tissue.' This is not about 'my body, my choice,' or any other despicable euphemism or excuse employed to minimize the horror of killing an unborn child in the womb.

"This is about the tiny survivors of 'choice.' This is about precious boys and girls, made in the image of God, who survive an attempt to end their lives. This is about whether medical professionals—who take an oath to bring healing and not harm—should be required to 'exercise the same degree of professional skill, care and diligence to preserve the life and health' of a child born alive after an attempted abortion that they would for any other child. This is about leaving a helpless and wounded baby to die alone on a porcelain table.

"To the legislators who supported this bill, including its sponsor, Republican state Rep. Shan Sandridge, you have my gratitude for trying to stop this atrocity. To the legislators who killed this bill designed to protect the lives of helpless babies—Democrat Reps. Monica Duran, Susan Lontine, Emily Sirota, Steven Woodrow, Sonya Jaquez Lewis, and Chris Kennedy—you made an abhorrent decision. You have chosen your political platform over humanity, decency, and life itself.

"Every child matters and is precious in the eyes of our Creator. May God help us if we allow this culture of death to continue."
