WASHINGTON, June 22 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Concerned Women for America (CWA)
called on legislators to quickly pass the Unborn Child Pain Awareness
Act at a Capitol Hill press conference today. CWA wholeheartedly
supports this bill which recognizes the scientific evidence that unborn
babies experience severe pain during an abortion procedure.

"Legislation and court decisions on abortion remain unenlightened on the
medical advances since 1973 on a point the Supreme Court never
considered in deciding Roe vs. Wade -- does the pre-born baby feel
pain?" said Wendy Wright, CWA's senior policy director. "Political and
judicial officers have shown great concern over animal cruelty -- it's
time to extend that sympathy to our own children. To make an informed
choice, women deserve to know that their baby will feel the excruciating
pain of being 'terminated.'"

The bill will require doctors to inform women considering an abortion 20
weeks into their pregnancy about the pain the unborn baby will
experience during the procedure. If the woman decides to have the
abortion after hearing this information, the bill requires the doctor to
offer anesthesia for her unborn baby to ease the severity of the pain.

"We're only asking for honesty," said Michael Schwartz, CWA's vice
president for government relations. "When a woman is considering
abortion, she deserves to know all that science can tell her. We expect
doctors in every other field of medicine to inform their patients
accurately; we can't let political controversy allow abortionists to
hide the truth from women who need accurate information."

A recent Zogby poll revealed that 77 percent of respondents agreed that
a woman should know the scientific facts about fetal pain before
undergoing an abortion after 20 weeks of pregnancy.

so do men!

hi how r u doing fine i hope i have brown eyes brown hair i colored it
i love the lord with all my heart Iam divorced Iam in a wheelchair i
have CP looking a long term i like swimming listening to music working
my P C talking on phone going movies out to eat fishing shopping going
to church

ok... cool

i disagree with any type of abortion unless its due to rape or incest. i
believe that i woman has her options but y should murder be one of them.
as soon as its conceived its a child. i dont care if it hasnt taken a
breath, if it can feel pain, its murder. not only that but young gurls
are told that its the best option but in reality it can really fuck a
young girl up.

i have to agree with sxyoneizhere. ive been in that position. if
somethin bad happens ex. rape or incest then yeah i believe in abortion.
but if your just fucking around and get knocked up, then i believe you
need to step up to plate and take full responsibility.

yea...what she said...M.pro choice.......M.

Hi ya Sexyone

I agree that the fetus feels pain. But if that's true though and what
you said that if it feels pain, then its murder, then we commit murder
all the time against animals( Yeah I know fucking animals don't count
right?) Well, also you say it's ok incase of rape or incest. So is that
still murder? So murder is Ok as long as it's conceived due to a crime.
No offense but you seem to contradict yourself.

we kill animals to survive, so we can provide nutrition to our bodies,
ecbouton has got it right. if you fuck around and end up pregnant dont
be a fuckhead step up to the plate whether u keep the child as urs or if
u give it up for adoption is ur choice. ppl say that females need there
options and their choices, but dont you have the choice in the first
place not to take the chance of concieving a child? in a case of incest
or rape, a female doesnt have much say in wats going on. but if shes
stupid enough to take the chance its something she should have to live
with, not be given the option to just kill it and make it so its like it
never happened. wat these girls dont see is the aftermath of havin an
abortion it takes so much out of a woman to kill something that came out
of them, unless they got munchousin or something.

Murder is murder is murder. Again We do it all the time. It's just like
we make rules and laws that say Thu shall not kill, yet in case of kill
or be killed, we justify that. Right we kill animals to survive, but we
also kill the unborn in case of saving the mother too. That we say is
justified. What about in the case of stemcell research. Should we let
the people who need the research just dye because we feel uncomfortable
about killing the embryo?

We have a righ to choose...we have fought long and hard for that
right..don' take away that choice..until you are in a woman faced with
abortion you cannot and will never know how or what she feels

My father's 1st wife died because she wouldn't get an abortion. She had
a hard enough time with my sister, and when she got pregnant again, her
doctor RECOMMENDED an abortion because the chances of either surviving
the delivery were very slim.
Being the devout Catholic she was, she turned it down. Neither lived.
That abortion would have allowed a daughter to continue to have a mother
and husband to continue to have a wife.
I may not be a woman, but I believe they should still be allowed the
choice.
What bothers me is the seeming LACK of priorities. Abortion has killed
far fewer babies than handguns have killed ppl and yet the US
constitution says you have the right to own a weapon that serves one
purpose and one purpose only.
And I know some ppl are gonna say, "But the babies are innocent."
How many innocent ppl have been murdered by handguns in the US, just
today alone???
It's economics ppl...Gun manufacturers provide jobs and thus provide
part of the tax base. Abortion kills off potential taxpayers.
These 2 issues may not seem connected but the right to bear arms seems
to make redundant, any other human rights.

Right poet. It's all about personal choice. But then we have to live
with that choice too. And hopeful grow from it.

yep. stop killing the un born.

lets stop killing the living while we're at it

yep!.. u got that right also. we should get out of the middle
east!!!!!!!

Trust me I speak from experience it is not an easy choice to make much
less live with but once the choice is made you have to live with it, I
was young and scared and alone..I live with this choice everyday of my
life, its not easy but I do it.

damn... thats heavy.

Just so long as you learn and grow from it.

I did and I have, and I am still learning and growing from the choice.
