Yeah, he really said that.
(CNSNews.com) – Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) said Tuesday it is “morally outrageous” to ban abortions after five months of pregnancy.
“It is morally outrageous, frankly,” Nadler said about the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act (H.R. 1797), a bill that would ban abortions 20 weeks post-fertilization, or five months into pregnancy.
“Here we go again,” he said. “Every single year we have to go through the same nonsense with the same morally presumptuous, morally arrogant attitude that we know better. ‘We know better than women and their doctors. We know better about their health care. We know better about their moral choices in very personal decisions.’”
The House is set to vote Tuesday on the bill. Pro-abortion Democrats gathered on Capitol Hill to oppose the measure.
“This bill is particularly morally outrageous,” Nadler said. “It is also particularly unconstitutional.”
