Dear Friends,
It is anticipated that the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act (H.R. 1797) will be considered on the House floor as early as June 18.
Please urge your Representative to oppose all weakening amendments and to support the bill. Please click on the link below to send your message today!
Because there is substantial medical evidence that an unborn child is
capable of experiencing pain at least by 20 weeks after fertilization,
this measure asserts a compelling governmental interest in protecting
unborn children from this stage.
In testimony before Congress, Dr. Maureen Condic, Department of
Neurobiology and Anatomy, University of Utah, School of Medicine,
concluded: “In light of the scientific facts, the observations of
medical professionals, our own experience of pain, and our indirect
experience of others’ pain, we must conclude that there is indeed a
‘compelling governmental interest in protecting the lives of unborn
children from the stage at which substantial medical evidence indicates
that they are capable of feeling pain.’ And this unambiguously requires a
20 week fetus to be protected from pain, as proposed under H.R. 1797.”
Again, please send your message today!
Thanks for all you do in support of life!
Michael Taylor
Executive Director
