Your help is urgently needed today to protect unborn children and women from late-term abortion. It was announced this week that the U.S. House of Representatives is expected to vote on Tuesday, October 3 on The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act (H.R. 36).
Please contact your member of the House of Representatives immediately and urge support for this life-saving legislation. There is substantial medical evidence that an unborn child can experience pain at least by 20 weeks after fertilization. Therefore, this bill, which was introduced by Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ) on January 3, asserts a compelling governmental interest in protecting unborn children from this stage. With limited exceptions, H.R. 36 makes it unlawful to perform or attempt to perform an abortion if the probable post-fertilization age of the unborn child is 20 weeks or greater.
Cardinal Dolan, Chairman of the Bishops' Committee on Pro-Life Activities, has called on Congress to support this common-sense abortion policy reform. In a September 29 letter to Congress he pointed out to law makers that "[a]lthough we want, and will continue to work for, protections in law for human life from the beginning of its existence, for several reasons we think the proposed ban on abortion at 20 weeks after fertilization is a place to begin uniting Americans who see themselves as "pro-life" and as "pro-choice". The Cardinal also pointed out that late-term abortion, in addition to being repulsive to "all decent and humane people" poses "...serious dangers to women - as evidenced by a disturbing number of news stories about the death or serious health complications of women undergoing such procedures."
