Dear Friend,
The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act (S. 1553) was introduced in the Senate on June 11 by Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC). The identical bill passed the House of Representatives on May 13, 2015, by a vote of 242 to 184. Urge your Senators to support and co-sponsor this bill.

There is substantial medical evidence that an unborn child is capable of experiencing pain at least by 20 weeks after fertilization. As proposed, S. 1553 asserts a compelling governmental interest in protecting unborn children at least by this stage. With limited exceptions, the bill makes it unlawful to perform or attempt to perform an abortion if the probable post-fertilization age of the unborn child is 20 weeks or greater.
Thanks for all that you do in support of life! Together we will be heard.
