Democratic leaders on the Legislative Council opted Thursday to kill a bill that would have prohibited the sale of fetal remains.

Rep. Katrina Smith (R-Palermo) submitted the bill, which now will not be considered next year by the State Legislature.

“By not allowing my bill into the second session the Democrats have once again proven that their only goal is to keep Planned Parenthood happy and profitable,” Smith told the Maine Wire.

This is the second time this year that Maine Democrats have blocked legislation that would prohibit the sale or trafficking of baby parts left over from abortions.

As Gov. Janet Mills’ full-term abortion bill was securing passage in the Democrat-controlled legislature, Senate Democrats unanimously voted against a proposed amendment that would have placed a four-year moratorium on trafficking in aborted fetal remains.

Abortion advocates have long dismissed the connection between late-term abortion clinics and fetal tissue research.

However, fetal remains have been a sought-after source of tissue for medical research, including STEM cell research.

What do you expect from a political party who paint their opposition as fascist and Nazis when they use the power of their office to stifle free speech. The party that define human life as a blob of cells one day and a baby the next. The three fools in the picture define evil in its purest form. Let’s abandon the idea of life as precious and special and normalize slicing babies to pieces for the almighty dollar to pay homage to their political savior Planned Parenthood. The ultimate irony is Rep Ross would be aborted is Planned Parenthood’s founder, Margaret Sanger had her way.

The way to combat this horror is to show actual dead baby body parts. They should be required to watch the 20 minute movie, “The Silent Scream” that shows a baby in it’s mothers womb, being ‘aborted’, where the infant goes from curled up resting comfortably contented in the mothers womb sucking its thumb to retreating in terror with a heart rate that Olympic athletes don’t normally have, knowing it’s being killed.

That wouldn’t do it. Creatures like Terry, Ross, & Cloutier, have no heart soul or compassion. They KNOW they are right and don’t give a flying rats tail who or what suffers to get their way. There is note an inmate ant the Maine State Prison that deserve to be locked up more than these three and their ilk.

I predict in the near future these same demonic things will propose a bill making small business loans available for people to become pregnant then harvest their babies. After all it is a business now (and taxable).

Evil people.
Allow killing babies up to moments before birth then allow ripping them up to sell like auto parts.
Sick.
