Ilyse Hogue also <a href=\"https:\/\/secure.prochoiceamerica.org\/site\/Advocacy;jsessionid=2A7AA6DC8601F17B1846EAE1D725B50C.app243a?pagename=homepage&amp;page=UserAction&amp;id=6069&amp;autologin=true\" target=\"_blank\">sent out a petition<\/a> asking supporters to send a message to Mitch McConnell asking him to stop his &#8220;attack&#8221; on abortion.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>A second e-mail bemoaned the lack of pro-abortion senators and this time asked for money to help NARAL &#8220;stand up to anti-woman extremists.&#8221; Hogue has reason to panic, of course. As she said in her latest e-mail, &#8220;the nationwide ban on abortion after 20 weeks has already passed the House of Representatives, and after the election we can no longer be sure we have the votes to stop it in the Senate.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately for Ilyse Hogue and for NARAL, she actually does <em>not<\/em> have the support of American people in this fight, and not even of just women. One of the reasons that this bill has been introduced is based on new research showing that <a href=\"http:\/\/national.deseretnews.com\/article\/216\/small-survivors-how-the-disputed-science-of-fetal-pain-is-reshaping-abortion-law.html\" target=\"_blank\">unborn babies can feel pain by week twenty<\/a>. Polling shows that Americans support protecting babies from late-term abortion, too. Even the usually pro-abortion Huffington Post founds in a HuffPost\/YouGov Poll\u00a0that <a href=\"http:\/\/townhall.com\/tipsheet\/guybenson\/2013\/07\/12\/huffington-post-poll-americans-overwhelmingly-support-lateterm-abortion-ban-n1639073\">Americans are in favor of banning abortion after 20 weeks<\/a>\u00a0by a nearly 2-1 margin.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-15563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.liveactionnews.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/baby-born-300x223.jpg\" alt=\"baby-born\" width=\"300\" height=\"223\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/baby-born-300x223.jpg 300w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/baby-born.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And while Ilyse Hogue and her late-term abortion\u00a0cronies slam this measure as a &#8220;war on women,&#8221; it turns out that even women aren&#8217;t big fans of painfully ripping babies apart piece by piece.
