Starting at 20 weeks, if not sooner, unborn babies can feel pain! Sign our petition to support the passage of the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act (H.R. 36).
Tell Congress it’s time to pass laws that save the lives of unborn children and protect vulnerable women.
H.R. 36 was introduced in the US House of Representatives on January 6, 2015 by leading sponsors Representative Marsha Blackburn and Representative Trent Franks. The pro-life measure intends to ban abortion (in most cases) from after 20-weeks of pregnancy up to the day of birth.
The bill indicates there is substantial medical evidence that an unborn child is capable of experiencing pain at least by 20 weeks after fertilization, if not earlier. In a report to the US Department of Justice, a leading expert in the field claims, “The pain perceived by a fetus is possibly more intense than that perceived by term newborn or older children.”
We need to stand with Representatives Blackburn and Franks as they act as the voice of the voiceless 18,000 healthy unborn babies that are aborted late-term each year. According to Representative Franks, “Many of them cry and scream as they die, but because it is amniotic fluid going over their vocal cords instead of air, we don’t hear them.”
Upon passing in the House of Representatives, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has promised to bring it to the Senate floor for a vote.
With your help -- we can end this inhumane and intolerable act of brutality against defenseless human beings. Please sign our petition and share with your friends.

The Petition
Unborn babies can feel pain!
Dear Members of Congress,
I am writing to express my support for the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act (H.R. 36). It’s time that Congress prioritizes the passage of laws that save the lives of unborn children and protect vulnerable women.
Substantial medical evidence and scientific research shows that by this point in development, 20 weeks after fertilization (if not earlier), unborn children are capable of feeling pain. Each year, during the late-term stages of pregnancy, 18,000 healthy unborn babies go through the extremely painful process of being aborted (brutally murdered).
The United States is one of seven countries in the world that permits abortion post 20 weeks. Please end this inhumane and intolerable act of brutality against defenseless human beings. I request that you immediately pass the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act in both the House of Representatives and Senate.
