The following three important pro-life bills have not yet been reintroduced but can
be very beneficial to our movement.
-
Unborn Child Pain Awareness Act of 2010:
This measure, which has 18 co-sponsors, would require that a
woman who seeks an abortion after 20 weeks of pregnancy be informed that her
child can feel pain. The pregnant mother would also be told that her baby
could be anesthetized prior to the abortion if she wished.
