Mainstream media running cover up of Democrat infanticide vote

David Harsanyi:
So I was going to have a little fun at the expense of CNN this morning, contrasting the news site’s headline for the Democrats’ gun restriction bill—“House to vote on guns background check bill with bipartisan support”—which has garnered exactly four Republican co-sponsors, with its headline for the Sen. Ben Sasse’s anti-infanticide bill, which I was certain would be solely about the “GOP” despite having four Democrat Senators voting to move the bill forward. Turns out, it was even better.

There was nothing to contrast because, as far as I can tell, CNN doesn’t feature a single story on their website regarding the Democratic Party blocking of Sasse’s Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which would have saved newborn babies who survive abortion attempts from negligent homicide.

CNN didn’t even bother producing one of those predictably prejudiced pieces, like the ones we saw in Politico or the Washington Post yesterday, mischaracterizing Sasse’s bill as “anti-abortion.” They didn’t bother with the “conservatives pounce!” stories like the Daily Beast or Vox. They didn’t bother, like so many others, to distract from the number of viable babies being aborted by stressing only 1.5 percent of the procedures are in post-20 weeks, rather than pointing out there are somewhere around 15,000 to 18,000 aborted every year. They just ignored it.
...
It is a tell, that they are trying to hide a story that has the Democrats going against a super-majority of the voters when it comes to babies that survive abortions.  In fact, there is a super-majority in this country that opposes abortion in the third trimester.  One question I would like to ask the Democrats who voted against the Sasse bill is at what point after the baby survives the abortion can it not be allowed to die?  And, what is the BS about reproductive health got to do with a live baby who survived an abortion?  That is utterly ridiculous.
