Unborn Child Pain Awareness Act-Voting Update

This is an update from the National Right to Life Committee (NRLC) in Washington, D.C., issued Wednesday, December 6, 2006, at 7:15 PM Eastern Time.
The U.S. House of Representatives this evening voted 250-162 in favor of the Unborn Child Pain Awareness Act (H.R. 6099). This bill, supported by NRLC, would require abortionists to provide women seeking abortion after 20 weeks past fertilization (the beginning of the sixth month) a brochure explaining that there is "substantial evidence" that the abortion will cause pain to the unborn child, and advise them of their right to request the administration of pain-reducing drugs to the unborn child.

The bill received a solid majority but fell short of the two-thirds vote required for approval under the parliamentary procedure employed today.

The following statement may be attributed to Douglas Johnson, legislative director for National Right to Life:

"It is no small thing that 60 percent of the House endorsed requiring abortionists to inform women that late abortion may be very painful to the unborn child. The other 40 percent will have to explain why they favor anti-pain laws for animals used for research or food, but not for unborn humans."

So who were those who voted to ensure that the innocents to be executed by tearing apart their bodies would have to endure insufferable pain during the process?

Not be outdone by others in her advocacy for the wanton murder of the unborn, was the Speaker of the House-to-be (and lest we forget, 2nd in line for the Presidency, following the Vice-President), the dishonorable, professed "Catholic," Nancy Pelosi, who was followed by another 161 despicable beasts posing as humans. When will her bishop address her scandalous behavior?

And of those from Missouri who voted with Pelosi and against the unborn was none other than St Louis' own professed "Catholic" representative, William Lacy Clay, Jr. One would hope that Archbishop Burke has some special choice words for him sooner rather than later!

Until such time as the "Catholic" accomplices in the murder of the unborn are brought to ecclesiastical justice in the Church, we will continue to witness atrocities of this magnitude or worse - such as those Catholics voting to support Partial Birth Abortion.

These people are a disgrace to humanity, a plague infecting our country.
