New Abortion Law in Nebraska on Fetal Pain Could Weaken Roe v. Wade Further
Lincoln, NE - The Nebraska legislature has signed off on a bill that Governor Dave Heineman will sign today that could head to the courts and ultimately weaken further the Roe v.Wade Supreme Court decision that has resulted in 52 million abortions. The bill bans abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy based on the well-established concept of fetal pain.

It’s a good start.
Glad to see this. I didn’t think this meant much until I heard one of the sponsors explain why it is a significant restriction. Nice offset to producing the likes of Ben Nelson.
Kansas is considering abortion restrictions -— I guess because Tiller isn’t buying politicians anymore.
"By 20 weeks after fertilization, unborn children have pain receptors throughout their body, and nerves link these to the brain," she told LifeNews.com. "These unborn children recoil from painful stimulation, which also dramatically increases their release of stress hormones. Doctors performing fetal surgery at and after 20 weeks now routinely use fetal anesthesia."

NARAL president Nancy Keenan, testifying to the Democratic National Platform Committee in August 2008: "Roe v. Wade is a shell of its former self. Since 1995, American politicians have passed more than 550 laws limiting women’s reproductive freedom. In nearly 90 percent of counties across America, there is no access to abortion because there is no abortion provider."
Sounds absolutely wonderful to me.
I like the premise!
“NEVER CAUSE A CHILD PAIN” could be a slogan worth trying!
Would America have considered it progress to declare that no
one over 40 could be held as a slave?
