The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, or what many are calling the “20 week abortion ban,” was passed (237-186) in the U.S. House of Representatives on October 3rd.
The legislation is called the 20 week abortion ban because, if made into law, it would make abortion after 20 weeks almost completely illegal in every state in the U.S. on the basis that fetuses can potentially feel pain at 20 weeks gestation.
Well done, reps. This is a great development. Let’s hope that, when the time comes, the Senate GOP will similarly rise to the occasion. If they do, President Trump has signaled that he’ll sign the legislation into law.
Similar legislation did not have the support of President Obama in the past. That’s not surprising, considering Obama is so pro-choice that he, as a state senator, voted repeatedly against legislation geared toward protecting newborns who survived abortions.
Also unsurprising is the fact that people on the left are PISSED about the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act getting passed in the House. Let’s have a look at some of their grousing on Twitter.
