A friend of my wife’s recently had her twins at the 21 week mark, they are home with her now and in perfect health. Of course the left claims aborting those two babies would not have been murder.

The House Judiciary Committee approved legislation Wednesday that would ban abortions in the United States after 20 weeks.

The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, was approved in a vote of 20-12.

“The taking of innocent life is a practice all too common in this nation,” House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte said in a statement. “The recent Gosnell trial reminds us that when newborn babies are cut with scissors, they whimper and cry, and flinch from pain. And unborn babies when harmed also whimper and cry, and flinch from pain. Delivered or not, babies are babies, and it has been shown that they can feel pain at least by 20 weeks.”

“It is time to welcome young children who can feel pain into the human family,” he added. “And this bill, at last, will do just that.”

The legislation’s chief sponsor, Arizona Republican Rep. Trent Franks, called for lawmakers to come together in agreement that abortions after 20 weeks — when some research shows unborn babies can feel pain — should be banned.
