AFA Calls on the US Senate to Pass This Pro-life Bill, as the House Did Just Last Week

AFA Staff : May 19, 2015  American Family Association

"When you consider, though, that unborn babies who are fully capable of experiencing pain are being killed in the womb with sensory experiences of their brutal deaths, it is incomprehensible that anyone would oppose a ban on dismembering or otherwise slaughtering these innocent babies."

(Tupelo, MS)—After the House of Representatives passed the historic Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act last week, American Family Association (AFA) is calling on the Senate to follow the example and do the same to protect unborn babies.

On Wednesday, the House passed the bill that would ban abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy.

"The House of Representatives stepped up last week to protect innocent lives and possibly begin to reverse the ugly mark that abortion has left on America's landscape," said AFA President Tim Wildmon. "Now, the Senate must follow suit and pass this measure as well, in a unified voice to respect and protect life."

President Barack Obama has said he would veto a ban on abortions after 20 weeks, issuing a veto threat in January, reported LifeNews.com. A recent report in the New York Times, however, highlighted a study in The New England Journal of Medicine, which found that some babies survive with treatment after being born as early as 22 weeks—further demonstrating the humanity of unborn babies.

"Abortion at any stage is a horrific practice," Wildmon continued, "When you consider, though, that unborn babies who are fully capable of experiencing pain are being killed in the womb with sensory experiences of their brutal deaths, it is incomprehensible that anyone would oppose a ban on dismembering or otherwise slaughtering these innocent babies."

The House passed a similar ban in 2013, but the bill failed to garner enough votes in the pro-abortion Senate. AFA is asking all pro-life Americans to contact their U.S. Senators and urge them to support this critical legislation that protects the most vulnerable lives.
