Abortions: Take Action

Did you know that right now, abortions are legal in the District of Columbia for any reason, through all nine months of pregnancy, until the moment of birth? Currently, abortion is completely unrestricted in D.C., which means that abortions can be performed for any reason, through all nine months of pregnancy, until birth in our nation’s capital. This is a tragedy that must be fixed. The D.C. Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act would ban abortions in D.C. after 20 weeks (about the 6-month mark) when an unborn child can feel pain.

I know that I had no idea that abortions could be performed for any reason until the nine month mark.

Medical evidence shows that by 20 weeks in age, an unborn child can feel intense pain as he or she is torn apart, limb by limb, by brute manual force, during a D&E abortion –a horrific practice that is happening right now, at an abortion business not far from the White House in Washington, D.C.

The responsibility rests with Congress, which has clear Constitutional authority over the District of Columbia.

Because of extensive lobbying over the last few months, the House of Representatives will vote TONIGHT on the D.C. Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, sponsored by pro-life leader Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ). This bill would ban abortions performed after 20 weeks (about the six-month mark) in the District of Columbia.

Even if you are pro-choice, wouldn't you agree that abortions should not be performed once a child can feel pain?

Thanks to your activism, the D.C. Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act (H.R. 3803) is up for a vote TONIGHT. You can bet that Representatives are paying attention to what they hear from their constituents, so every call counts.
