This title was written by the liberal feminist who wrote this article, and I think they make perfect sense. The article includes a description of each of these laws. I have copied the names of the laws and have provided a brief description, although the article goes more in depth.

Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act (H.R. 36) -It institutes a 20 week abortion ban on the basis the unborn are able to feel pain.

Prenatal Nondiscrimination Act (PRENDA) of 2013 (S. 48) -This bill would ”prohibit discrimination against the unborn child on the basis of sex or gender, and for other purposes.”

Right of Refusal within the Public Health Service Act (S.50) -"“Refusal bills,” such as the just-introduced S. 50, allow health care professionals to refuse to provide an abortion to a woman based on their personal religious beliefs, even in an emergency. The bill applies not just to doctors and nurses, but also pharmacists and non-medical personnel including insurance company representatives and company-based human resources employees."

S. 51 and H.R. 217 Title X Amendments -These bills prevent public funding for women's health care to go to places that provide abortions.

Federal Pregnant Women Health and Safety Act (S. 78) -This requires abortion doctors to have admitting privileges into a hospital.

A few comments regarding the article:

Perritt said that while many of the recently introduced legislative measures “claim to protect women” they instead endanger women by reinforcing non-scientific misinformation and proposing measures that would make abortion illegal — and thus unsafe.

Yes, because they can claim to be all about science while calling the unborn child a "nonperson."

Accessibility and legal status of abortion remain at risk as a result of “some scary myths out there” that are “accepted as fact” — and oftentimes used to back legislation to reduce, restrict, or limit abortion access, said Hal Lawrence, MD, executive vice president and CEO of the American Congress of Obstetrics and Gynecology, in the press conference. “I want each woman to be able to make the decision that’s right for her,” Lawrence said, “and not be influenced by rumors that have been disproven by science.”

It truly terrifies me that this guy his the excecutive vice president and CEO of the ACOG. This is a group of doctors who deliver babies, and he thinks it is ok to kill these babies in the womb. Later in the article he makes an appearance again arguing against abortion doctors needing admitting privileges into a hospital.

I'm glad to know our elected reps are doing something right.

[“The attacks waged on women’s health … have gotten out of hand,” Jamila Perritt, MD, medical director of Planned Parenthood of Metro Washington, D.C]

The left is guilty of both murder of innocent children and makes money off of American taxpayers while pretending to be victims themselves by gender identity or racism. The victimizers of the left are evil people and will be dealt with when God judges all men by Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour.

“The attacks waged on women’s health … have gotten out of hand,”

As opposed to the real attacks on female babies in the womb?

They fight this, and claim to be FOR a woman's health and protection? Riigght. It's because they know abortion "doctors" are, by and large, the same scuzzy back-alley butchers of yesteryear.

Surely in the first 30 days of a new Congress, there are more crucial pieces of legislation to bring to the floor... I mean I understand that to some peopleabortion is a big deal, but please... we are losing our Republic.

Congress should be doing everything in its power to shut down an out of control Executive Branch. I mean, totally gut it. Secure our borders, enforce existing laws, create real economic growth and empower American businesses. CUT WELFARE AND ENTITLEMENTS AND LOWER TAXES.

Yet here are 6 anti-abortion bills that are going NOWHERE.

If my congresscritters had cosponsored these 6 bills, and disregarded the perilous state of things with the Republic, I would be furious.
