The Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act is now teed up for a vote in the U.S. Senate.

Our chairman Mat Staver’s personal encounter with Baby Rowan underscores why this is so important.

Rowan would have turned 18 this year. Getting ready to graduate from high school, anticipating the prom and deciding where to go to college — but all that was cut short. Instead, his mother was left screaming in the abortion clinic bathroom, “Call 911!” — all because Rowan had been born alive following an abortion, perfectly fine for a baby of about 23 weeks. When the mom saw her son, she immediately changed her mind, but clinic workers ignored her cries for help.

Despite Angele pleading for medical help for her son, who was moving and very much alive, clinic workers let the child die … and even turned away the paramedics after her friend frantically called 911, the recording of which we have in our possession. Angele contacted Mat, and he will never forget his visit to the morgue in Orlando, Florida.

And no one was ever prosecuted ...

This week, the U.S. Senate opened the door to vote on HR 26 — the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act. If this measure passes the Senate, it will REQUIRE that all children who survive an abortion receive proper medical care and a shot at life. If HR 26 becomes law, post-birth abortion will finally be a federal crime. Read on to learn more about Baby Rowan and how we can prevent such travesties from happening. — Your Faith & Liberty team

The EPOC Center of Orlando, Florida, website claims EPOC treats the women who enter its doors with “respect and compassion.” But when Angele gave birth to a healthy baby boy, the abortion clinic refused medical treatment for the child. The clinic had induced delivery to abort the child.

Contractions began earlier than expected, and Angele returned later in the day. With no help, she delivered the baby while sitting on a commode. When Angele saw her son, she immediately changed her mind and realized she had made a terrible decision.

Her screams for help were ignored. The clinic refused to call an ambulance, and when one arrived anyway thanks to her friend’s 911 call, clinic workers LIED to paramedics, claiming everything was under control. Meeting the paramedics outside the clinic, they convinced them to drive on and not even enter the building.

Meanwhile, abortion center assistants left Angele closed in a dirty bathroom where she tried desperately to use her hands and a blue pad to try to keep Baby Rowan warm.

“I continued to try to caress and comfort my son by rubbing his back, tummy and chest. I stroked his precious little head and kept telling him I loved him and we would be OK. I was afraid to move him because I did not want to do anything that might end up hurting him.”

“I pushed my pinky into his little hand and his fingers curled around me. Still no one was coming. I was terrified but trying not to let him know I was scared. I kept telling him what a beautiful son he was and that we were going to be safe soon.”

But Rowan was not going to be safe as his mother hoped.

Because the clinic withheld lifesaving assistance and refused to allow the paramedics entrance, Baby Rowan slowly died in his mother’s arms.

“I felt so bad. I felt so helpless. I had been so wrong to come here. ... I wanted to fix and change everything once I saw Rowan’s precious little face and body. All we needed was someone to get us to safety,” Angele said.

Our chairman will never forget his visit to the morgue where Baby Rowan’s body was in a shoebox in a drawer. He came face to face with the evil that had sent him there. Baby Rowan was perfectly formed. He had not been poisoned and was fully intact.

We cannot remain silent because what Mat experienced that day happens every day in America. This evil must end. We can — and we must — STOP this evil. The Senate invoked Rule 14, which means this bill can now be voted on at any time. STOP Infanticide! Pass HR 26 Now!

This month, Rep. Hillary Scholten (D-MI) twisted scripture to justify her vote against medical care for abortion survivors.

“When I read scripture,” Scholten announced from the House podium, “I turn to Jeremiah 1:5, which states 'I knew you before I formed you and placed you in your mother's womb.’”

But then Scholten tried to add a fallacious caveat to God’s Word, noting that the scripture “doesn't say ‘the government's womb.’” Scholten voted to kill babies like Rowan that day, babies that could have lived with medical care.

Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) also spoke on the House floor in favor of infanticide, and his comments made even less sense than Rep. Scholten’s twisted take on scripture. Nadler admitted that providing care to a newborn “may be the right thing to do for the health and survival of that infant,” but then said, “That is the problem with this bill.” NO! That’s the problem with Jerry Nadler and his twisted death cult!

Providing lifesaving care to a baby born alive “may be the right thing to do,” he said, but since the baby was intended to be killed by abortion, he finds taking the child to a hospital to be “the problem.” Unbelievable!

When the roll was taken, Nadler and Scholten both voted to let the children die. Thankfully, however, one House Democrat voted yes, and another voted present with the Republicans, and HR 26 passed the House.
