DENVER (AP)- A bill to make it a crime to kill a fetus is rejected by Colorado legislative Democrats.

A Democratic- controlled statehouse committee voted down the bill addresses crimes against an "unborn child".

The bill was inspired by cases where drunken drivers and other criminals injured mothers and killed their unborn children but could not be prosecuted for the death, due to a loophole in the law.

Democrats and an attorney for Planned Parenthood argued that the bill would effectively legalize fetuses and embryos and tabled it.

Democrats really are that evil. This is proof. For most normal folks this is a no-brainer.

Of course the liberals rejected this, it doesn't fit into their agenda. And when their fearless leader Obama was a senator he was all for supporting abortion on demand no matter how far along. Liberals love to talk about guns as "bloody death tools", and yet they support killing children as if it's a simple medical procedure.

So in other words the killing of babies is ok.
