House to vote on late-term abortion ban
House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) will host a press conference today to detail when the House will vote on the Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, which would make abortions illegal after 20 weeks.
The House of Representatives will vote in the coming days on a pro-life bill that bans abortions from after 20-weeks of pregnancy up to the day of birth. The House has previously approved the legislation only to see a Democrat-led filibuster prevent the bill from moving forward in the Senate. …
During the debate on the bill (in 2015) to ban abortions after 20 weeks, Congressman Sean Duffy gave what may be one of the most passionate defenses of the pro-life position ever seen on the floor of Congress. Duffy took on the claim often made by Democrats who support abortion saying they stand for the defenseless and voiceless.
“I’ve listened to the floor debate day after day .. about how they fight for the forgotten, they fight for the defenseless, they fight for the voiceless. And they pound their chest and stomp their feet. You don’t have anyone in our society that’s more defenseless than these little babies,” he said. “And we are not taking — I believe in conception. I know my colleagues can’t agree with me on that. Can’t we come together and say we are going to stand with little babies that feel pain, that survive outside the womb? Ones that don’t have lobbyists and money? Don’t we stand with those little babies?”
