Will they or won't they? Sen. Ben Sasse preparing to hold Dems' feet to the fire on infanticide

As Twitchy told you, yesterday, Sen. Ben Sasse absolutely tore into Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam over Northam’s defense of infanticide.

.@SenSasse statement on Northam’s interview: “This is morally repugnant. In just a few years pro-abortion zealots went from ‘safe, legal, and rare’ to ‘keep the newborns comfortable while the doctor debates infanticide.’” /1

.@SenSasse statement on Northam’s interview (cont’d): “I don’t care what party you’re from — if you can’t say that it’s wrong to leave babies to die after birth, get the hell out of public office.” /2

Today, Sasse is doubling down and putting his money where his mouth is — and daring his colleagues to do the same:

Big news: @SenSasse announces on the Senate floor he’s starting the process to expedite consideration of his bill, the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, and will ask senators on Monday to give unanimous consent for the legislation.

It shouldn’t be … but Democrats might have a hard time.

Watching Democrats DEFEND INFANTICIDE is going to be something to behold.
