Take Action Now! Demand that the U.S. Senate vote on protecting pain-capable unborn children! WASHINGTON (November 12, 2013) -- At a press conference on November 7,  I joined U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) in announcing introduction of the  Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act (S. 1670) in the U.S. Senate. This bill would protect unborn children from abortion, nationwide, beginning at  20 weeks fetal age, based on scientific evidence that by this stage of development  (if not earlier), the baby will experience excruciating pain when subjected to typical  late abortion procedures. This is the most important single pro-life bill to be proposed in Congress since the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act was enacted ten years ago.  This new bill (S. 1670) is based directly on the model legislation crafted by National  Right to Life, which has already been enacted in 10 states.  With strong backing  from National Right to Life, a virtually identical bill (H.R. 1797) has already passed  the U.S. House of Representatives.  Now, it is time to demand that the U.S. Senate  vote on this landmark legislation. But that won't happen without your help. Thirty-six (36) senators have already joined Senator Graham as co-sponsors  of the new legislation.  Please act today!  Click here to go to the National Right  to Life Legislative Action Center.  There you will find tools that make it easy for  you to send e-mail messages to your two U.S. senators in just a couple of minutes.   You will be shown a suggested message, which you can modify or replace as you see fit.  If your senators have already cosponsored S. 1670, thank them.  If they have not  done so, urge them to sign on as cosponsors immediately.  In either case, please  express your strong support for S. 1670 -- and ask them to urge Senate  Democratic Leader Harry Reid (D-Nv.) to allow an early Senate vote on S. 1670.

The forces that are opposed to legal protections for unborn children have  financial resources that are far greater than ours.  Already, the radical pro- abortion group "NARAL Pro-Choice America" is running a TV ad against  our bill!  If you can possibly help us in our campaign to bring this issue before  the American people and force the Senate to vote on it, please use the  "Contribute now." button below -- and I thank you.
