Woman Who Survived Being Aborted: I'm "Living Proof" Born-Alive Act Is Necessary"You know, I have great hope because we have great Republican legislators who are committed to life.

The big abortion industry had lied constantly about the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, the bill's author Nebraska Senator Ben Sasse (R-NE) told Fox News Monday, showing how desperate abortion activists are about preserving abortion.
