John,

 

If you missed it yesterday, Ben’s bill, the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, came to the floor and Democrats filibustered it. As the debate unfolded, Dick Durbin tried to hide what the Born-Alive Bill is about — but Ben was absolutely not having it.

 

What followed was an incredible exchange with Dick Durbin where Ben called him out for spreading Planned Parenthood's blatant lies about a simple pro-baby, anti-infanticide bill. More than that, Ben put a spotlight on politicians who try to defend the indefensible.

 

Ben's bill simply says that if a baby survives an abortion, she's entitled to medical care. But Durbin and others refused to acknowledge the facts and tried to hide the truth.

 

But what Durbin and Planned Parenthood don’t want Americans to know is that we know from data that some babies do survive abortions. We know that federal law doesn't protect them and some clinics simply don’t give these babies medical care — they just leave them to die.

 

Ben absolutely demolished Durbin’s dishonest argument, and exposed the Democrats for what they are: so in the tank for Planned Parenthood that they cannot even agree that babies who have already been born should be allowed to live.

 

I hope you’ll watch the video, share it with your friends, and remember: moments like this one yesterday are why we need Ben Sasse in the Senate.

 

Sincerely,

 

Taylor Sliva
Campaign Manager, Ben Sasse for US Senate
