Ohio’s Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act Heard by Senate Today

Clearly this bill is part of a larger problem here in Ohio; it’s the perception that just because the baby isn’t born yet, the baby feels no pain during an abortion. But is it the proabort’s perception that it just doesn’t matter if babies feel pain? Yes.

Senate Bill 127 is a companion to House Bill 117, to protect unborn children at 20 weeks and developed a ‘complication’ into the pregnancy. House Bill 135 protects babies diagnosed with Down Syndrome targeted for abortion. Unborn Down Syndrome diagnosed babies are aborted 92% of the time; that means for every child or adult you see or know of with Down Syndrome, nine others were aborted.

Today, NARAL ProChoice Ohio boasted going to one of the Senate committee meetings today [SB127], the one that debates killing an unborn child because he/she had the audacity to be ill, infirm or have congenital issues. It would seem that NARAL would rather pick on the sick kids, you know…because it protects women’s rights. You read that right. Killing unborn sick babies strengthens women.

“Sen Peggy Lehner responded to criticism from Planned Parenthood and abortion rights advocates today by testifying that fetal surgeries typically use regular anesthetics, implying that doctors are aware the fetus can feel pain.” Read the rest here.

Stephanie Kight of Planned Parenthood actually said out loud that this bill is ‘extreme and unnecessary’, an ‘attack’ on women in Ohio – while their late term babies are tortured and disarticulated. The red biohazard tubs are their final resting place, on their way to an incinerator like common trash.

With a Republican majority in the Ohio House and Senate, these bills should go through easily. The State of Ohio should be a place safe for all babies, born and unborn.
