State Assembly passes Fetal Pain Bill

The State Senate has already passed this bill, which would require abortionists to inform a woman that a late-term abortion will be painful for her unborn child.

Of course, Doyle will do what he always does with a good, solid, principled bill:

He'll veto it.


From an Wisconsin Right to Life press release:
The Unborn Child Pain Awareness Act would require that women, who are considering abortion and whose unborn children are 20 weeks (5 months) or more gestation, be informed that their unborn children have the capacity to feel pain and that the abortion methods used in late-term abortions can cause substantial pain to the unborn child.

Opponents of the SB 138 attempted to portray the scientific and medical evidence regarding the reality of fetal pain as “junk science.” However, the bill’s Assembly author, Rep. Ann Nischke, cited the numerous experts and studies that clearly substantiate the existence of fetal pain, particularly in unborn babies at 5 months and beyond.
Isn't it interesting that the left always wants our kids to know absolutely everything there is to know about sex, drugs, suicide, etc., but they sure don't want women to know much about their unborn children, do they?
