U.S. House Passes Pro-Life Bill & Condemns Attacks on Pregnancy Resource Centers
On Wednesday, the House passed a bill to protect children who survive abortions, requiring medical care for them. The vote was 220-210-1, with one Democrat in favor and one Democrat indicating "present." It's the first pro-life legislation we've seen from the House majority since Roe v. Wade was struck down last summer.
The House also passed a resolution condemning the numerous violent attacks against pregnancy resource centers, churches, and pro-life groups in the wake of the leaked supreme court opinion and the overturning of Roe. It passed 222-209, with three Democrats voting in favor.
Sadly, neither of these measures are expected to survive in the Senate. It's especially tragic that only a few Democrats were willing to oppose violence against Pregnancy Resource Centers, facilities that help thousands of women every day.
