Wade. <\/i>GOP leadership has scheduled a House vote on the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act that same day. The bill is sponsored by Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ) and Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN). The bill has <a href=\"\/news\/the-pain-capable-unborn-child-protection-act-as-a-step-in-the-right-direction\/\">passed the House before, in 2013, with a vote of 228-196. <\/a><\/p>\n<p>In analyzing the bill, particularly with regards to the Republican Party, Politico writes that &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.politico.com\/story\/2015\/01\/republicans-abortion-114169.html\">GOP hopes it has cracked the abortion code<\/a>,&#8221; noting that many in the party leadership are behind the bill. The vote was even planned for this day:<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>In the House, Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) opted to tie the upcoming vote to the March for Life event after meeting with leading anti-abortion groups and Republicans who have long been vocal opponents of abortion. McCarthy met in November with a dozen conservative groups, including the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and Susan B. Anthony List, and \u201creiterated his commitment to the pro-life movement and vowed to ensure that the House of Representatives would be in session and voting during the 2015 March for Life,\u201d a GOP staffer said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Bill sponsor Rep. Franks notes that \u00a0&#8220;[t]his is something we can all get together on.&#8221; One would hope so! With <a href=\"http:\/\/www.democrats.org\/democratic-national-platform#greater-together\">the Democratic Party&#8217;s national platform being what it is on abortion,<\/a> it seems unlikely that we can depend on Democrats to promote or pass any pro-life bills. This may leave the Republican Party, as well as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.catholicvote.org\/congress-catholics-and-the-vanishing-pro-life-democrat\/\">what pro-life Democrats remain, <\/a>to protect the unborn.<\/p>\n<p>President and CEO of Planned Parenthood Cecile Richards criticizes not only the bill, but also Congress for voting on it,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/2015\/01\/14\/20-week-abortion-ban_n_6472034.html\">as mentioned by<\/a> <em>The Huffington Post<\/em>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Richards said the bill shows that Republican-led Congress has the wrong priorities.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is an unconstitutional ban, and this is something we expect to defeat,&#8221; she said. &#8220;The people of this country believe Congress should be focused on making people&#8217;s lives better, and they shouldn&#8217;t be involved in making personal medical decisions for women and their doctors.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>For the pro-life voter in America, and even more importantly, for those women who have been hurt by abortion and those unborn children who have been ruthlessly killed by it, such a vote <em>is <\/em>what will be &#8220;making people&#8217;s lives better[.]&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While the bill did pass the House of Representatives, then Senate majority leader Harry Reid (D-NV) never let it get to a vote. The new Senate majority leader, Mitch McConnell (R-KY), has <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lifenews.com\/2014\/11\/13\/senate-gop-unanimously-elects-pro-life-mitch-mcconnell-leader-promises-5-month-abortion-ban\/\">already promised such a vote, however. <\/a><\/p>\n<p>Cecile Richards is also quoted in <em>The Huffington Post <\/em>claiming that she &#8220;&#8216;expect[s] to defeat&#8217; a bill next week in the House of Representatives that would ban abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy. &#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately for Richards, it seems likely that the bill will once again pass the House, and it may pass the Senate, especially after <a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/url?sa=t&amp;rct=j&amp;q=&amp;esrc=s&amp;source=web&amp;cd=2&amp;cad=rja&amp;uact=8&amp;ved=0CCUQFjAB&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nationalreview.com%2Fcorner%2F392236%2Ftheres-record-number-pro-life-women-headed-congress-marjorie-dannenfelser&amp;ei=vl24VNJlwovIBPeegegD&amp;usg=AFQjCNGJw2dLkv6GrxV-0T03gfFGDRR-gg&amp;bvm=bv.83829542,d.aWw\">the historic election of pro-life women. <\/a><\/p>\n<p>And speaking of women, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.plannedparenthoodaction.org\/elections-politics\/blog\/2015-attacks-womens-health-begin-vengeance\/\">despite Planned Parenthood claiming <\/a>that &#8220;American voters do not want government restricting abortion,&#8221; a 20-week ban on abortion has support not only from most of the country, but from women in particular. Many <a href=\"http:\/\/pollingcompany.com\/poll-vault\/tpcwt-post-election-data-shows-support-for-gop-push-to-ban-abortion-after-20-weeks\/\">polls<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nationaljournal.com\/congressional-connection\/coverage\/americans-narrowly-support-20-week-abortion-ban-20130626\">have<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.quinnipiac.edu\/news-and-events\/quinnipiac-university-poll\/national\/release-detail?ReleaseID=2115\">shown <\/a>support to be at more than half \u2014 even <a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/2013\/07\/11\/abortion-poll_n_3575551.html\">one from <em>The Huffington Post<\/em>, <\/a>which <a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/news\/abortion\/\">often publishes pieces in support<\/a> of abortion.<\/p>\n<p>Even if the bill were to pass both the House and the Senate, it is almost certain that President Barack Obama would veto it. And while living under such a pro-abortion administration can be frustrating, voting on the bill is at least a step in the right direction. While President Bill Clinton vetoed the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act, the stage was set, and the next president, George W. Bush, signed the bill into law. The Supreme Court also upheld such a ban.<\/p>\n<p>Cecile Richards claims in the same piece for <em>The Huffington Post <\/em>that &#8220;politicians who are trying to erase women&#8217;s progress are on the wrong side of history.&#8221; It is the abortion movement which will be &#8220;on the wrong side of history,&#8221; especially since abortion is hardly\u00a0 &#8220;women&#8217;s progress.&#8221; There are already 13 states that have approved similar proposals, and it is certainly time to have a national one protecting as many babies, especially ones who <a href=\"http:\/\/www.doctorsonfetalpain.com\/\">can feel pain, <\/a>as possible.<\/p>\n<p>The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act is notable not only because it will be voted on while hundreds of thousands of pro-lifers will already be in town to March for Life. It will be voted on on the 42<sup>nd<\/sup> anniversary of <em>Roe v. Wade,<\/em> which made abortion legal in all 50 states up until birth. While this is normally a somber day for pro-life Americans, as we reflect on the 57 million children we&#8217;ve lost since 1973, there is an opportunity for victory and celebration this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>January 22 is a monumental day for pro-lifers, but this year, it&#8217;s not just because of the March for Life to mourn the anniversary of Roe v.
