WASHINGTON, D.C., June 2, 2014 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Today, Reps. Diane Black, R-TN, and Trent Franks, R-AZ, led a bipartisan effort of 105 Members of the House to send a letter to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-NV, urging him to allow for a vote in the Senate on the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act.

We need to get back the Senate -- even if we elect RINOs in some states. At least it would make it possible to get votes on issues like this.

RE: for babies who can feel pain

At what stage in the womb has a baby been scientifically shown to feel pain?

RE: 105 Congressmen to Harry Reid

Are there any Democrats in that number?

I think the general consensus is after 20 weeks. Not that they did studies poking and hurting a fetus, but rather that they would poke at a woman's belly and see that the baby was reacting to the touch. It was assumed that if they baby could feel the touch, then they can also feel pain.

No.

There is a letter to Senator Reid with the 105 Congressmen signing it.

There is a webpage with Democrats for Life in America
