Tell the House to Ban Abortions After 20 Weeks

The United States is one of the few nations in the world that allows abortions up to the day of birth in some states.

To protect unborn babies from abortion, the House of Representatives will hold a vote near the anniversary of the murder conviction of late-term abortionist Kermit Gosnell on a pro-life bill to ban abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy because unborn children feel intense pain in abortions.

As Congressman Trent Franks explains: "More than 18,000 ‘very late term’ abortions are performed every year on perfectly healthy unborn babies in America. These are innocent and defenseless children who can not only feel pain, but who can survive outside of the womb in most cases, and who are torturously killed without even basic anesthesia."



"Many of them cry and scream as they die, but because it is amniotic fluid going over their vocal cords instead of air, we don’t hear them," he says.

Unborn children have a right to life and should be protected from abortion. We call on the House to pass the Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act that bans abortions from after 20-weeks of pregnancy up to the day of birth.
