PAIN-CAPABLE UNBORN CHILD PROTECTION ACT
(Mr. FLEMING asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute.)
Mr. FLEMING. Madam Speaker, next week marks 41 years since the
Supreme Court's ROE v. WADE decision. Nearly 57 million children have
lost their lives since then. This genocide of unborn Americans must
stop. Congress should respect and defend innocent human life.
An increasing majority of Americans do not believe abortion should be
legal for any reason at any time during pregnancy. Yet, the U.S. stands
with the governments of North Korea and China in refusing to restrict
abortion, even up to the moment of birth.
This House, on a bipartisan vote last year, voted to acknowledge the
overwhelming scientific evidence that an unborn child, being aborted
after 20 weeks in the womb, experiences pain. It is past time for our
colleagues in the Senate to join us in standing up for the innocent by
passing the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act.
