“this morning, the Senate Judiciary Committee had a hearing to discuss two of our Democratic colleagues' biggest headaches: the Supreme Court of the United States and State laws that protect the right to life. This wasn't the first time we have seen an attack on both waged by Members of the Senate. Last year, the majority leader, Senator Schumer, walked across the street to the Supreme Court and threatened two Supreme Court Justices by name based on an abortion case that they were considering. Sadly, it seems that our Democratic colleagues have simply given up when it comes to protecting innocent life. In 2020, February 2020, the Senate voted on a bill that would outlaw elective abortions after 20 weeks, when science tells us that a fetus can actually feel pain. Had this bill become law, it would have put U.S. domestic policy in line with that of most of the rest of the world.

As it stands today, the United States is currently one of only seven countries to allow elective abortions after 20 weeks. As I said, those seven countries include the Communist Party China and North Korea. But our Democratic colleagues filibustered that bill too. Then came one more opportunity to protect the most vulnerable among us.…”
