This is an angle against late term abortion that I hadn’t heard of. I wonder how many people
assume abortion is always painless for the child.

FRC
Endorses ‘Unborn Child Pain Awareness Act’

“WASHINGTON, May 20 /PRNewswire/ — Family Research Council (FRC) President Tony
Perkins released the following statement in support of Sen. Sam Brownback’s (R-KS)
‘Unborn Child Pain Awareness Act’ legislation:”

“We cannot deny the medical evidence now before us. From testimony taken during
the recent partial-birth abortion hearings and advancements in the field of in utero
technology, science is telling us unborn children as young as 20 weeks old can feel
pain. The evidence we have is clear, and we should not keep that evidence from women.”

I hope and pray legislation like this really works.

In case anybody wondered, the ACLU doesn’t always support the wrong people/causes.

Way of Life vs Way of Death

When will we get beyond this poor excuse for justice?

BTW, this guy is pretty old. If he should die or retire while Bush is in office,
Dubya will get to replace him. That could be good news if a pro-life judge is installed.
That could be bad news because Bush’s idea of pro-life doesn’t include abolishing
the death penalty.

Supporting the death penalty is not pro-life.
