Texas House Tentatively Passes Bill to Ban Late-Term Abortions
After 20 Weeks
After a full day of debate and pro-life votes to defeat almost two dozen pro-abortion amendments to weaken the bill, Texas legislators successfully approved on second reading a bill that will ban abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy.
Lawmakers voted 98-49 for the bill on second reading and a third reading vote is forthcoming, likely tomorrow, but the same margin is expected. The vote today for conditional approval is four more votes for the measure than the last time the House approved the bill before Wendy Davis infamous filibuster. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/ 07/09/texas-house-passes-bill- to-ban-late-term-abortions- after-20-weeks/

A new Rasmussen poll out today shows the support for the pro-abortion side is at its lowest level in three years, while support for the pro-life position is at its highest.
Rasmussen asked:
Generally speaking, on the issue of abortion, do you consider yourself
pro-choice or pro-life?
Just how many unborn babies would be saved if the Texas legislature approves the bill to ban abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy? According to figures from the Centers for Disease Control, at least one baby would be spared on a daily basis.
The arithmetic shows that, on some days during the year, two babies would be saved. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/
