Hatch 'Shocked' His Democratic Colleagues Opposed Common Sense Anti-Abortion Bill
2018-01-30
[Townhall] The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, which bans abortion after 20 weeks, failed to pass the Senate Monday. The legislation passed the House of Representatives last year, but Democrats derailed it today in the upper chamber, with a final vote of 51-46.

Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) could not understand how his colleagues on the other side of the aisle could be so heartless.

"I am truly shocked by those who declare it 'extreme' to oppose late-term abortions that we know to cause fetal pain," Hatch said in a statement. "The facts on this matter are indisputable: Democrats have willfully ignored science for the sake of political expediency. As for myself, I was proud to vote for the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, and I am eager to continue fighting on behalf of the unborn."

Pro-life groups shared Hatch's outrage.

#5  I recall a group of Dems who were "shocked" when 0bumhole broke a "promise" he made to them regarding abortion to get their vote for 0bumholecare. Now it's just something they don't try to pretend about anymore.

#4  One of the Senators who voted against the was my own Senator, Tim Kaine. Tim Kaine is nominally a Catholic. In my not so humble opinion, Bishop Knestout, the new bishop of Richmond, should excommunicate his ass.

#3  This kind of bill has been submitted regularly since the Roe v. Wade ruling, If more Republicans win in November, it will come up again in the new session. It helps that this president is willing to sign, rather than promising to veto anything on the subject.

#2  Make up your mind - Do away with Premature wards or deal with a end date for elective abortions.
