U.S. House Vote On 20 Week Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act Set for Today
October 3, 2017
Washington, DC - Today, the U.S. House of Representatives is scheduled to vote on H.R. 36, the 20 Week Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act.
If enacted, the bill would ban abortions at 20 weeks gestation and later because of the barbarity of dismembering or otherwise ending the life of a baby in the womb that can feel pain.
"We have been advocating for the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act since Nebraska passed similar legislation in 2009," said Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue. "This new law may not end abortion, but it will end some abortions and will save thousands of lives."
