Liberals were visibly upset and shaken in the aftermath of Tim Walz’s performance against JD Vance during last night’s vice presidential debate, but few had the full meltdown that occurred on CNN.
A heated debate erupted during a panel discussion when pro-choice commentators Alyssa Farah Griffin, David Axelrod, and Ashley Allison clashed with Republican strategist Scott Jennings over Minnesota’s controversial abortion law. Jennings, who brought up the fact that during Governor Tim Walz’s tenure there were eight reported deaths of infants who survived abortion attempts, stirred intense reactions from the panelists.
Jennings’ contention, which detailed that these infants died after surviving abortions.
“They don’t want to talk about the fact that it happened,” Jennings said. He went on to argue that Governor Walz and Vice President Kamala Harris have failed to articulate their stance on even a single restriction related to abortion, positioning them as out of step with public opinion.
As Jennings continued to defend the Republican stance, claiming it aligned with what many Americans believe, the conversation grew more contentious, with David Axelrod visibly growing angry. The pro-choice panelists criticized Jennings’ framing of the issue, accusing him of disrespect and dismissing his right, as a man, to weigh in on women’s reproductive rights. “Stay out of our doctor’s offices,” they said, emphasizing that decisions about abortion should remain between women and their healthcare providers.
Jennings, in response, insisted, “I have to speak up for the babies. They’re not here to speak for themselves. Lord, have mercy.”

The pro-life conservative backed up his argument later in the night, posting an article from The Dispatch that detailed how Tim Walz signed a bill that let babies who survived an abortion attempt die.
Not for nothing, but I’m right. Fact check is right here, folks:https://t.co/ivSQEka4fN https://t.co/OYiH7jIvQN

The article reads: “In 2015, the Minnesota state legislature passed additional legislation, signed into law by Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton, intended to expand the state’s protections for born-alive infants. The Born Alive Infants Protection Act made minor terminology changes to the existing three subsections of Section 145.423, and added an additional six subsections including those covering civil penalties for medical personnel who did not provide adequate care, privacy protections for court proceedings related to born-alive infants, and the status of born alive-infants who survive following an abortion procedure. The act also formally defined ‘born-alive infants’ as ‘every infant member of the species Homo sapiens who is born alive at any stage of development.’
On May 22, 2023, the Minnesota state legislature passed an omnibus bill—signed into law the next day by Walz—that repealed all six subdivisions added by the 2015 Born Alive Infants Protection Act as well as two of the three subdivisions established in the original 1976 statute. The bill left intact the first subdivision—which read ‘All reasonable measures consistent with good medical practice, including the compilation of appropriate medical records, shall be taken to preserve the life and health of the child’—but changed its language requiring medical personnel to ‘preserve the life and health of the born alive infant’ to instead require medical personnel to “care for the infant who is born alive.’ The bill also repealed many of Minnesota’s abortion reporting requirements, including information about born-alive infants.
Earlier in 2023, Walz signed legislation enshrining the right to abortion into Minnesota law following the Supreme Court’s reversal of Roe v. Wade. The new statute established that ‘Every individual who becomes pregnant has a fundamental right to … obtain an abortion,‘ and did not include any restrictions or prohibitions. Minnesota currently has no statutory limits on abortion at any stage of pregnancy.”
Minnesota recorded eight deaths among infants who survived abortion attempts during Tim Walz’s tenure as governor.
Media cant deal with Reality
I’m astounded so many people have no problem killing a baby, a human baby, a child in the womb. And then if they do survive the abortion, they just set them aside to die. That is demonic and horrendous. And they wonder why this country is under judgement. It’s no different than when babies were offered to Molech. I read God’s Word, and I knew this time would come, but I still have a hard time wrapping my head around killing children. But boy, harm an animal and they lose their minds.
And the lefties raise holy hell if you kill a terrorist or execute a murderer.
The U.S. killed 4 million pre-born infants in 2023. Then they imported 3 million legal and illegal immigrants. Why would any sane society do this ?? Oh, that’s right. The infants won’t be able to “work” for another 11 years or so. The reason the Roman Empire collapsed was they didn’t have enough people born to maintain their armies in light of growing barbarian armies moving on Rome. I’m sure they did not stop having sex so aborting babies most probably reason. We arre headed in the same direction. Especially with the most people crossing our borders are military aged Chinese.
Coming to this state (Ohio). The left took advantage of a lightly attended off year election to ram through a radical constitunal amendment , with the help of millions in zuckerbucks.
At the same time, a companion amendment legalized recreational marijuana use, both measures had no restrictions at all. Guaranteeing a record number of dead babies, and a voting base with drug-muddled thoughts.
