These Senators Support Late-Term Abortions and Harry Reid is Protecting Them

Pro-life groups are putting together a multi-state press conference for next week to expose how three U.S. senators support late-term abortions. The three lawmakers — Mark Udall in Colorado, Kay Hagan in North Carolina and Mark Pryor in Arkansas — all have pro-abortion voting records.

What’s worse, none of them are sponsors of the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act — a measure to ban abortions after 20 weeks based on the scientific evidence showing unborn children feel intense pain.

voteprolife16Next week, the national pro-life groups Concerned Women for America Legislative Action Committee, Family Research Council Action, Students for Life of America, and the Susan B. Anthony List are organizing the multistate “Summer of Life” campaign to bring awareness to the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act.

“The legislation, which would limit abortions after 5 months, more than halfway through pregnancy, has wide spread support and was passed in the House over a year ago. The opportunity now falls to the Senate. That opportunity has been stonewalled by Majority Harry Reid (D-Nevada) and other Democrats who refuse to support the bipartisan measure,” the groups say.

They want to point out how Reid is protecting these vulnerable pro-abortion senators by making it so they don’t have to cast a public vote against the bill before the elections.

“It is time that the law reflects our society’s desire to protect the innocent,” said Concerned Women for America Legislative Action Committee CEO and President Penny Nance. “The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act was already passed in the House. The next step is allowing a fair debate in the deliberative body on the issue of late-term abortion in this country. While all abortions pose physical and psychological risks for the woman, medical risks from abortion increase markedly as pregnancy progresses, including the risk of death.”
