Bravo!
I don’t think many or maybe even most liberals care if the baby feels pain...now if someone were to strike a terrorist, now that would have to be forbidden...but a baby...nah.
The 10th amendment in action!
Remember, consistency is key here. Other states may pass medical marijuana laws and we should allow these battles to be waged at the state level. There is no reason everything needs to kick it up to the federal level. Our answer to abortion, drugs and any number of things should be the answer the Constitution gave... let the states have authority over those issues.
I thought in Roe v Wade the Supreme Court legalized abortion until the fetus was "viable". With medical technology being what it is, this ruling seems consistent with Roe v Wade.

Giving thanks to our Lord.
Wonderful news, hopefully this is a start to prevent women from butchering and the torturing of helpless babies.
Hallelujah!
SCOTUS in 19973 refused to determine when life begins.
I’m waiting for some state to legislate that life begins at conception. poof - abortion gone in that state.
Thank God. At least it’s a start.
Praise the LORD! God Bless Nebraska!
Now, a sobering thought, is this going to be enforced or will there be stinking lawsuits by accessories to murder?
Being in the field of medical ultrasound in the past it seems the babies could feel pain a lot earlier than 20 weeks. My guess is at gestational age of 7-8 weeks they can feel pain since their limbs have already taken shape.
This is certainly great news, and a step in the right direction. Not a perfect law by any stretch, but it can save some babies, help to establish a “culture of life,” and start to chip away at Roe v. Wade.
But can someone explain to me this exception to the ban?
“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.”
Is the aim of this exception to allow what are known by the Orwellian term “reductions” (where the mother is pregnant with triplets and they abort two of them) under the theory that aborting his siblings will help the lucky baby that was spared? If so, this is an outrageous exception. While I personally do not believe that there should be any exceptions to abortion bans other than to save the life of the mother, the “reduction” could be performed prior to week 20 without either violating the law or having to adopt such an amendment to the bill.
I am 20 weeks along and feeling my baby move around as I type. A ban based on the baby’s ability to feel should probably be earlier...I have felt movement for several weeks and he/she always “jumps around” if I have something very cold to drink.
If the supreme court can make executing a mass murderer illegal because of pain, maybe it will do the same for the murder of an innocent baby.
GLORY BE TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST!
Protection of the innocent, the helpless, the widow and the fatherless... This is one of the commissions from our Lord.
Today marks a notable victory on this front.
Hopefully we will one day banish abortion altogether in this country with few obvious exceptions, such as medically necessary to save the life of the mother.
I’m not so excited. cows and pigs can feel pain. How long before PETA uses this pain argument for their agenda?
Praise the Lord!
