View as Webpage ‌ ‌ ‌ Pro-Abortion Democrats Block Senate Passage of Both the "Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act" and the "Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act" This Tuesday, Missouri’s two Pro-Life Senators (Senator Blunt and Senator Hawley) voted pro-life on both bills that came before the U.S. Senate. Link - Here is the vote on the Cloture Motion for the Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act Link - Here is the vote on the Cloture Motion for the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act. Neither bill reached the required 60 votes needed to move forward because pro-abortion Democrats opposed these two common sense life-saving pieces of legislation. We thank Senator Blunt and Senator Hawley for their work to protect women and unborn children and for being a voice for innocent human lives. Thank you Trump Administration for your support of Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act and Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act. Missouri Congresswoman Ann Wagner also released the following statement: “When I introduced the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act a year ago, I was hopeful that Congress would take quick action to protect the precious lives of children who survive abortions. I am heartbroken that the House has not yet voted on this lifesaving legislation, and I am grieved that Senate Democrats today voted down this commonsense legislation that would save innocent lives. I will not stop fighting for the rights of the born and unborn and I am grateful that Leader McConnell brought this legislation to the floor. While I am proud the Missouri legislature recently advanced similar legislation in a bipartisan manner, Congressional Democrats must act to protect newborn infants, giving them a chance at life when they are at their most vulnerable. Virtually everyone agrees we must protect innocent lives and I will not rest until this legislation becomes law.” We need you in Jefferson City!! Your attendance at this year's Pro-Life Action Day on Tuesday, March 10 is essential to the passage of solid pro-life legislation and defunding Planned Parenthood!
