Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act Banning Barbaric Abortion Practice Introduced in U.S. Senate
November 7, 2013
By Cheryl Sullenger
Washington,
DC - Stating that he is acting more on conscience than politics, Sen.
Lindsey Graham will introduce today a version of the Pain Capable
Unborn Child Protection Act in the U.S. Senate that would ban abortions
after the fifth month of pregnancy when pre-born babies are known to
feel pain. Sen. Marco Rubio has signed on as a co-sponsor.
 A similar, but slightly
different bill was passed by the House earlier this year after a
committee hearing that heard testimony scientific studies confirming
pain is experienced by the baby in the womb even before the 20-week
limit. Also shown at the hearing were photos obtained by Operation
Rescue depicting late-term aborted babies taken by shocked employees at
Douglas Karpen's abortion clinic in Houston, Texas, in July, 2012.
The introduction of the
Senate version continues the wave of legislation aimed at halting
abortions halfway through pregnancy and later. Such late-term abortion
bans enjoy huge popular support as Americans more are embracing the
pro-life position.
