When testifying at a Minnesota Senate Health and Human Services Committee hearing, it was difficult to think of those speaking in favor of abortion until birth as “Minnesota Nice.” What I heard was a stunning callousness and disregard towards mothers and their vulnerable nascent children.
The legislators who say they are “pro-choice” voted against an amendment that would have given women considering an abortion the option of seeing an ultrasound image.
A pro-life senator asked the pro-abortion bill author when an unborn baby becomes a person, and the response was, “Senator, I don’t think that’s an appropriate question. I will not answer that.”
Since babies in the womb feel pain, an amendment was made to require anesthesia so pain would be minimized. Another amendment was to ban partial-birth abortions. All the pro-abortion senators voted against the amendments.
