Of course no is against this. As I pointed out, new born infants already receive medical care, and it's already illegal to kill them. The intent of this bill was to trigger sheep like you into thinking it was more than just a clever political ploy by Republicans to cast Democrats in a bad light.
The law provides for prosecution for doctors who deny care for viable infants who are outside the womb. Do you support this? Should doctors who deny health care to breathting babies living outside the womb be prosecuted? Please answer this.
You keep suggesting that this bill applies to viable infants, but I haven't found anything indicating that is true. This includes the Wash. Post piece that you didn't link, but you retyped or cut and pasted in an earlier post. Understand that "viable" and "alive" are two very different things.
However, someone who is likely a whole lot more knowledgeable about this stuff than either you or I had this to say:
"It only happens in instances in which we know that the baby will not ultimately survive, and a choice has been pre-made to provide just comfort care" to the baby so the parents can be with it, said Dr. Colleen McNicholas, a fellow with the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
