The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act is based on a wealth of mainstream medical evidence that pre-born babies feel excruciating pain as abortionists tear them apart limb by limb.

Editor's Note: While this measure has never made it through the Senate before, we know that "all things are possible with God." Let's be praying hard that the Holy Spirit will move on the hearts of ALL the senators to pass this bill, which SHOULD be a no-brainer when it comes to even basic humanity. Nothing is too difficult for God! -Aimee Herd, BCN.

(Washington, DC)—[LifeSiteNews.com] A bill to ban most late-term abortions of pre-born babies who are capable of feeling pain will be introduced in the Senate [Thursday].

Graham will introduce into the Senate the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, which passed the U.S. House, [Tuesday] 237-189. If passed, the bill would ban most abortions after 20 weeks, when the pre-born baby can feel pain.

President Trump has promised to sign the legislation if it reaches his desk.

Susan B. Anthony List President Marjorie Dannenfelser called the October 3 U.S. House vote a "win for basic human decency."

"It's time for the pro-life majority in the Senate to bring up this bill and force vulnerable pro-abortion Senators up in 2018 to either stand with their pro-life constituents and vote for this bill, or stand with the extreme abortion lobby and vote in favor of late-term abortion-on-demand," she said.

"This is not a vote that Senator Claire McCaskill or any Senator running in a state carried by President Trump wants to have," Dannenfelser said.

McCaskill is a pro-abortion Democrat from Missouri, a state that Trump won in 2016 by just over half a million votes.

The bill needs 60 votes to pass the U.S. Senate. There are currently 52 Republican senators.

Although the bill had passed the U.S. House twice before yesterday, it's never been able to make it through the U.S. Senate.

"We urge the Senate to follow the House's lead and send this bill to President Trump so he can sign this life-affirming legislation into law," said Tony Perkins, President of the Family Research Council.

The bill "conforms federal abortion law to modern science," said Perkins.
