Evidence of Pain in Unborn Yields Pro-Life Victory in Nebraska
Charlie Butts reports at OneNewsNow:
A landmark law for the pro-life effort has passed in the Nebraska legislature.
Mary Spaulding Balch, director of state legislation for the National Right to Life Committee (NRLC), tells OneNewsNow the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act is unique and sound legislation "that basically says that the unborn child at 20 weeks is capable of feeling pain and that the state of Nebraska has a compelling interest in protecting that child. And so they actually said, 'You cannot kill that child through abortion in Nebraska'."
Balch argued against the claim that unborn children cannot feel pain, as there is now substantial evidence showing that a baby indeed feels pain at that stage. She points out this is information the Supreme Court did not have in 1973 when it legalized abortion in Roe v. Wade.
