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.
It’s a lawless, immoral, unconstitutional bill anyway.
It grants explicit permission in the law to murder babies, ALL OF THEM, as long as it is done on schedule and by their rules.
God says, “you shall not murder.” No exceptions.
And the Constitution absolutely requires equal protection for the right to life of every person, in every jurisdiction. No exceptions.
I was referring in my last post to the “fetal pain” bill, by the way.
I can’t say whether this defunding bill is a good bill until I actually see its provisions.
