Obama and Infanticide

OMAHA, Nebraska, April 13, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The Nebraska legislature has given final approval to a new law banning abortion after 20 weeks gestation on the basis that an unborn child feels pain at that age.
The new law is the first of its kind in the United States and pro-life advocates believe it could pose a direct and historic challenge to the 1973 Roe v. Wade case, which deprived the states the power to regulate or restrict abortion.
The “Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act” (LB 1103), authored by Speaker Mike Flood, passed Tuesday on the third and final reading of the bill by an overwhelming pro-life majority of 44 in favor and 5 against.
Gov. Dave Heineman is expected to sign LB 1103 into law.
The law’s passage is especially historic, because it portends a fresh new challenge and look at the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton cases, which led to the virtual legalization of abortion on demand. The Nebraska law applies a different standard – that of the unborn child’s ability to feel pain - for restricting abortion, while the high court used the standard of what they then considered to be point of fetal viability.
"The Nebraska Legislature took a bold step today which should ratchet up the abortion debate across America," said Julie Schmit-Albin, Executive Director of Nebraska Right to Life in a statement today.
"LB 1103 creates a case of first impression for the courts to acknowledge the capability to feel pain as a compelling state interest to protect those unborn babies from an excruciatingly painful death.”
The legislation, which now awaits the governor’s signature, bans abortions after 20 weeks of post-fertilization age with two exceptions: first, when the pregnancy puts the mother in danger of death or “substantial and irreversible” physical harm to a major bodily function. The second exception was added in an amendment and allows an abortionist to perform late abortions for the sake of increasing the probability of a live birth, or to preserve an unborn child’s life and health after a live birth.
Although the topic of fetal pain is still under much discussion (and controversy, owing to its implications to the abortion debate) a growing consensus of medical knowledge has pointed to the fact that unborn infants experience pain by 20 weeks and possibly earlier. The pain may even be more acute than for older humans, as some research indicates their immature nervous systems have not developed coping mechanisms that help the body better endure pain.
The law notes that unborn children have been observed to “seek to evade certain stimuli” in a manner that “would be interpreted as a response to pain.” Additionally, the bill says unborn children exhibit “hormonal stress responses to painful stimuli” that were reduced with the application of pain medication.
Abortionists who break the law would face a Class IV felony charge, which carries a penalty of a five year maximum prison sentence, $10,000 fine, or both.
The bill would allow women and even the fathers of aborted unborn children to sue and seek damages from abortionists who violate the law.
The law, if passed and signed into law, would become operative on October 15, 2010.
Developing …
I wonder who the five legislators are who voted against the babies. I wonder if they accept campaign contributions from animal-rights groups. I hope they get raked over the coals in November.

I’m sorry the mod took the picture down. Must be a new mod as in the past they have left the pictures up.
It’s best to know the truth. If your 9 yr. old should see the picture, you can be assured she will never have an abortion when she gets older. She will know the truth of it... and friends or the MSM will never be able to convince her it is just “tissue.”
That’s how important the pictures are.
There is much subtle occult content in most Disney movies which have been known to give nightmares to some children. I’d rather Disney be banned than the revealing truth of abortion.
Preaching to the choir here—WE don’t need convincing (my daughter knows exactly what abortion is and does to a BABY, she doesn’t need a graphic for that to be appalled and angry).
Perhaps you should get a dummy membership at DU or Kos or Huffpo and post them there...where people who PRAISE death of sweet innocent babies can see what they are actually endorsing. Who knows? Maybe God will use your pictures to touch their hearts!
Keep fighting the good fight!
Thanks for the reply. I post them here because there are some FReepers who are in favor of abortions being legal. And also we have so many lurkers, many from DU, Kos, etc., that if even just one person might realize the horrors of abortion and change their mind, it is worth it.
A picture speaks a thousand words!
