NARAL Pro-Choice America president\u00a0Ilyse Hogue announced<\/a>\u00a0that they are unsure if\u00a0they can stop\u00a0a new effort to protect pre-born children.<\/p>\n

What has NARAL panicked is the <\/a>Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act<\/a> – legislation that would ban abortions after twenty weeks. Part of the impetus comes from Dr. Kawaljeet Anand’s research at the University of Tennessee, as his work suggests that a fetus can suffer pain<\/a> by week twenty.\u00a0This is especially relevant in light of what a second-trimester abortion typically involves: pulling the fetus apart<\/a> one piece at a time.<\/p>\n

While some contest the findings, University of Utah neurobiologist Maureen Condic argues that \u201cthere is sufficient uncertainty to warrant giving the fetus the benefit of the doubt.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ms. Hogue doesn\u2019t agree, sending out an e-mail to complain how \u201cthe 20-week abortion ban has already passed the House of Representatives, and with only 37 pro-choice votes left in the U.S. Senate, there\u2019s no guarantee we can stop it there.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Although Hogue calls the proposal \u201cextreme,\u201d polling data<\/a> says otherwise. According to a 2013 survey conducted by Quinnipiac, sixty percent of women support the move. And while advocates often claim that late-term abortions are only done for reasons of medical necessity, that\u2019s simply not true. Earlier this year, a couple tried to crowdfund<\/a> a late-term abortion so the mother could continue to<\/a> “smoke cigarettes” and “drink Rockstar.” You can also find misogynistic men on the website Rsdnation.com asking how to pressure a woman to abort when she’s nearly twenty weeks along.<\/p>\n

\"Gloria<\/a>

Gloria Steinem, behold thy legacy.<\/p><\/div>\n

Pro-lifers played an important role in last month\u2019s election, and we need to make it clear we expect results. You can express that message by contacting your senator and identifying the\u00a0Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act<\/a> as something you’d like to see pass.<\/p>\n

Ilyse Hogue concluded her e-mail by stating, \u201cThis will be the fight of our lives–and we need to get ready.\u201d Pro-lifers should have the same mindset.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
