Democrats often claim that they are the “compassionate” ones and that they are working for the little guy. But ironically, their policies hurt the very people they claim to help, with the most vulnerable and innocent population taking the worst hurt.

In most states, if someone gets high on fentanyl or other drugs their children are removed from the home until the parents get their act together and can provide a safe and loving home for the child. The reason that addicts cannot provide for children is so painfully obvious that I never thought I would have to explain that to anyone. But every day progressives surprise us with the new levels of idiocy they reach.

Moronic Democrats thought that it was the “compassionate” thing to do by passing legislation that allows the drug-addicted and homeless to maintain custody of children. Probably because they love to label people with degenerate characteristics as victims and then pretend it’s discrimination or something to criminalize such behavior.

Anyway, I am sure you can guess what happened. And that is innocent children have died because of this. Because it turns out that being high out of your mind is not in the best interest of a child.

Wow. Amazing. Who would have thunk it?!?!?

According to The Post Millennial:

Washington lawmakers and officials are blaming Democratic-passed legislation for the death of a baby and are demanding changes to protect children.

A new law called the “Keeping Families Together Act” went into effect in July and allows the drug-addicted and homeless to maintain custody of children because, according to state Democrats, circumstances such as substance abuse or inadequate housing don’t constitute imminent physical harm to a child.

James Kennedy, the Jefferson County Prosecuting Attorney and Coroner, told King 5 that the law needs to be changed after a three-week-old baby was found dead in the bushes near a lagoon in Port Townsend with blood dripping from its nose and strapped to a car seat.

Court documents charging the father of the infant, Jordan Sorensen, show that the baby was born with fentanyl in his system and that the mother also tested positive for fentanyl.

These people don't even care about their own life. But Democrats want us to believe that it’s wrong to remove children in these sorts of situations? I cannot even begin to comprehend that sort of deranged thinking.

Republican State Representative Travis Couture introduced a bill this session to try to reverse parts of the law by requiring the immediate removal of children from caretakers using illegal substances, including fentanyl, by classifying the presence of those drugs as "imminent harm."

Couture told The Ari Hoffman Show on Talk Radio 570 KVI, “We have an unprecedented amount of child deaths in our state because DCYF cannot remove at-risk kids a lot of the times, babies and toddlers from homes where there is fentanyl present or other hard drugs, or where parents are abusing fentanyl.”

It is truly baffling that state lawmakers have to introduce new legislation to protect kids from drug addicts. This should have never gotten this far. And the sad part is that I doubt that such a reasonable bill will pass with the Democrat majority.

The left often doubles down as things get worse. No matter how painfully obvious it is that their policies are de facto playing Russian roulette with kids, they don’t care. Their ideology is essentially their religion. They have so much faith in their sick worldview that it does not matter who it hurts. As long as they are doing what needs to be done to achieve their equitable paradise, that is all that matters.

More often than not, it’s the most vulnerable members of society to get the hit from this woke nonsense. It’s the most innocent and defenseless lives that are ruined in the pursuit of leftist utopia. And that is the worst part about all of this - it’s that Democrats often exploit children through their ideological warfare. Whether that is intentional or not is up to you to decide.
