Congress approved and President George W. bush signed into law a measure known as the Born Alive Infant Protection Act, which requires that appropriate medical care and treatment be given to babies who survive failed abortions. That law should have been used to prosecute abortion practitioner Kermit Gosnell, who killed infants in a gruesome abortion method that involved birthing them and snipping their necks.

But, as a CNS News report indicates, Holder told the House Judiciary Committee yesterday that he has no idea if the Obama administration has ever enforced the law.

“Have you ever enforced this law even one time?” Rep. Trent Franks (R-Ariz.) asked Holder during the committee hearing.

“I don’t know,” Holder replied.
