Huizenga: We Must Value and Protect the Sanctity of Life
Washington,
October 3, 2017
This important legislation protects the life of the unborn and demonstrates that we as a nation believe in promoting a culture of life. Currently, the United States is one of only seven countries across the globe to allow elective late-term abortions. This is appalling.
Today, Congressman Bill Huizenga (MI-02) released the following statement after voting in support of H.R. 36, the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act also known as Micah’s Law. H.R. 36 passed the House by a vote of 237 to 189.
“Scientific evidence has established that unborn children are capable of feeling intense pain 20 weeks post conception. This important legislation protects the life of the unborn and demonstrates that we as a nation believe in promoting a culture of life. Currently, the United States is one of only seven countries across the globe to allow elective late-term abortions. This is appalling. The United States of America should not be ranked alongside China and North Korea when it comes to protecting the unborn. Protecting a defenseless child from this cruel procedure should garner overwhelming bipartisan support. I am proud to vote in support of this measure and I will continue to defend those who cannot speak for themselves.” |
