WASHINGTON, D.C., May 24, 2013 (Operation Rescue) — During a House Judiciary Committee hearing on the Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act (HR 1797) held on Thursday, Rep. Trent Franks, R-AZ, displayed photos released by Operation Rescue depicting one aborted baby that was apparently killed after birth at a Houston, Texas, abortion clinic operated by Douglas Karpen. The photos were provided by former clinic workers who came forward to blow the whistle on Karpen’s heinous acts.
The photos were shown in support of the legislation that would provide nationwide protection for unborn children after 20 weeks when they are known to feel pain.
HR 1797 was amended from applying only to the District of Columbia to a national bill after grisly details of babies being born alive then murdered came out during the murder trial of late-term abortionist Kermit Gosnell, who was convicted of three counts of first degree murder in the deaths of three newborn babies.

Chaps our hides that taxpayer dollars are used to subsidize Planned Parenthood yet pro-life crisis pregnancy centers rely only on charitable donations. What galling hypocrisy.
Prolifer Jill Stanek was an abortionist??
It is about time. Forty years and 55 million dead after they’ve been voyting in favor of this. Of course they are required to see it.
i am sure democrats objected to the photos being shown.
Dems will be more offended by the pictures than the crimes.
unless it’s a hysterical liberal who isn’t physically hurt, but crying they couldn’t get a cake baked for their gay wedding, yup. or a picture of a lesbian who beat herself up to try to smear conservatives for a phony hate crime, yup.
Of course they will be. Somewhere in the nether regions of their conscience-dead minds lurks an awareness of natural law and their own complicity in this mass murder.
They won’t think of the offense these babies felt, but it was worse.
Couple the word abortion with pictures/video and imo the odds of changing a persons mind are greatly increased.
I applaud & support Operation Rescue.
Abortion is the blood sacrifice demanded in exchange for Democrat Party political power. Somebody made a deal. Should the flow of innocent blood stop, there will be a heavy price to pay.
One of the reasons that pro=life crisis pregnancy centers PREFER to rely on donations, is to prevent the government from dictating who, what, when, where, how, and why those centers do what they do.
There’s NO such thing as free money from the government. There are always strings attached and those strings are used to tie your hands and your mouth, to prevent you from doing what you intended to do, and to fill your mouth with the government’s position.
There are many pro-life centers who would REFUSE the government’s money even if it were available to them, so that they don’t have to relinquish the freedom to speak out against abortion that for the time being, they enjoy.
However, in the spirit of the comment about the government funding PP in order to kill babies while not being supportive in even some small way to pro-life centers..I agree with you entirely. It’s a sad state of affairs when our priorities as a nation, are that far askew.
But don’t be fooled...their blood cries out from the earth, and even if WE don’t hear them, G-d does. The shedding of innocent blood is among the top 7 priorities on His list...to stop entirely. He hates it.
Rep. Franks... well done, sir. nicely articulated.
yet another example of my congressman’s failings and lackluster effort in comparison (but hey, he votes!)
