Pete Sessions Statement on the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act

Today I released the following statement applauding the passage of H.R. 36, the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act:

As a father, I have always strongly believed that every effort should be made to protect and honor the sanctity of life. Today the House of Representatives passed legislation that protects unborn children by prohibiting abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy (the point at which babies can experience pain), allows exceptions for cases of rape, incest, or when the mother’s life is in danger, and provides compassionate care for families. I proudly supported this legislation and I call upon my colleagues in the Senate to pass similar legislation to protect our nation’s precious unborn children, empower women, and save lives.
