What’s Airing on Pro-Life Perspective Today? “A Closer Look at the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, Part 4”

Jan 13, 2012

In Day Four of a week-long discussion, Pro-Life Perspective co-host Olivia Gans delves further into the science that undergirds the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. Mary Spaulding Balch, director of National Right to Life’s Department of State Legislation and the architect of this measure which is now the law in five states, addresses the various specious arguments made by pro-abortionists against a law which protects from abortion unborn children capable of feeling pain.

Balch explains that there are experts who have studied the capacity of the unborn child to experience pain. They have concluded this capacity exists no later than 20 weeks post fertilization.

So where can the layperson go to read the evidence? It’s found ata www.doctorsonfetalpain.com. The initial summary explains why the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act is so important:

“A wealth of anatomical, behavioral and physiological evidence shows that the developing human fetus is capable of experiencing tremendous pain by 20 weeks post-fertilization.”

In response Gans says flatly, “We have the medical evidence to back up our arguments,” which is why National Right to Life and its affiliates are  successful in the legislative arena.

Making the public truly aware of the horrible pain the unborn child experiences is a priority for NRLC in 2012. You can help by ordering materials produced by the National Right to Life State Organizational Development Department.  The list of the materials can be found at http://stoptheabortionagenda.com/unbornpain.
