As I predicted a few days ago, Sen. Ben Sasse’s bill banning infanticide did not pass.

The Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, S. 311, failed, 53-44 to get the 60-votes necessary to invoke cloture.

Sasse later remarked that he is “hopeful” for the future of his legislation.

What future?

Too little, too late

Question: why did Sen. Sasse bring up this legislation if he knew it would not even make it to the floor for a up or down vote?

The answer is quite simple: political posturing.

Never Trump Sasse has aspirations for higher office. However, he has repeatedly hurt himself politically by attacking President Trump.

With no base, Sasse needs to burnish his credentials with conservative voters. In this way, Sasse appears as a conservative firebrand.

Senator Sasse can run around and label Democrats as “baby killers” while pounding his chest. Well, maybe he wont call them “baby killers” (Sasse is not as bold as Trump), but you get the idea.

Do Republicans *really* want to ban abortion?

There is also a more sinister reason why Sasse chose now to introduce the legislation: he knew it would never become law.

Most educated people — like moi — never thought the bill could muster enough support to overcome a senate filibuster by Democrats. Even if it did, the feminazi controlled House would kill the bill before it could become law.

As I eluded to in my earlier piece, if Sasse really cared about banning infanticide, he would have introduce the legalization last year when Republicans controlled the House.

But what does it matter? It is still a win for “conservative” politicians. They can use “Democrat obstructionism” to mobilize conservative voters to donate money.

After all, if Republicans ever really banned abortion, what issue would they campaign on?

The same logic can explain the failed attempts at building the wall. Ever wonder why after two years Republicans couldn’t pass a bill funding the wall?

Politicians lie, babies die

So, who cares if the infanticide bill failed? Right?

RINOs, such as Sen. Ben Sasse, win by appearing “conservative”.

Republican politicians win by raising money.

The only people that lose are the unborn.
