But what happened to the part that banned all abortions after the age of 20 weeks? (when the baby can feel pain) They seemed to drop that part, so that it is still OK to torture and abort them, the Feds are just not going to pay for it.

From another thread...

pro-lifers are also planning a protest outside the offices of GOP House member Renee Ellmers, who led the move to pull the vote on a bill that would ban abortions past 20 weeks.

The news broke last night, that after pressure from some female representatives in the House, Republicans have tabled an expected vote on the Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, which would ban abortion after 20 weeks. The bill, is supported by a majority of Republican members and all but six GOP members voted for the measure when it came before the House in 2013.

The bill’s sponsor, Rep. Trent Franks had planned on the vote coming today because of the abortion law anniversary.

In a closed-door open-mic session of House Republicans, North Carolina Rep. Renee Ellmers led the effort to pull the pro-life law telling the conference that she believes the bill will cost the party support among millennials, reports the National Journal.
