Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act introduced in the U.S. Senate

On Thursday, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.)  introduced of the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act in the U.S. Senate.  The legislation has previously passed the U.S. House of Representatives and has garnered a majority of votes in the U.S. Senate.

The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act continues to be one of the right-to-life movement’s top congressional priorities for the 116th Congress. Like the state bills, the proposed federal law would generally extend legal protect to unborn humans beginning at 20 weeks fetal age (22 weeks of pregnancy), based on congressional findings that by that point (and even earlier) the unborn child has the capacity to experience great pain during an abortion.
