“The U.S. Senate voted against banning late-term abortions on most five-month-old babies who can feel pain, with 46 out of 97 senators voting to continue debate on the bill, thus not allowing the Senate to vote on the bill itself.

The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, sponsored by Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-SC, would prohibit abortions on babies from the age of 20 weeks (22 weeks gestation) onward based on the science of fetal pain.

The bill had flaws, allowing babies conceived in rape or incest to be aborted regardless of their ability to feel pain.

At 20 weeks, an unborn baby is the size of a small cantaloupe. Mothers can feel their babies kicking. When they are operated on in the womb at this age, it’s standard medical practice to give the babies anesthesia.

However, it’s still legal to dismember them in violent, painful abortions. According to the Centers for Disease Control, in 2013 there were at least 5,770 late-term abortions in the U.S. on babies older than 20 weeks….

Some pro-lifers warn that scrapping the rule requiring 60 votes would put the pro-life movement at risk if Democrats were to control the House, Senate, and White House. But if Democrats regain a narrow majority in the Senate, they can get rid of the 60-votes-required rule anyway….

The U.S. House voted in favor of the Pain-Capable bill 237 to 189 in October 2017. Eighteen states have passed similar legislation. Idaho and Arizona have, too, but are unable to enforce them thanks to ongoing court cases….

‘Our message to all officeholders is clear: If you don’t cast your vote to protect life and defund the abortion industry, we won’t cast our votes for you and we will welcome your primary challengers into the race,’ said Kristan Hawkins, President of Students for Life of America. ‘For years, pro-life students have been told that their ideals could never be realized without control of the White House, Senate and House. With those three in the hands of the GOP, there should be no excuse for failing to deliver on the promises’ to pass pro-life legislation.” (Excerpt from Claire Chretien’s article in Life Site News)
