“The science is clear, as dismemberment abortion procedures pull children apart limb from limb, the baby feels pain. The baby recoils as the instruments get closer. The fight or flight instinct is there. If that isn't proof of life, I don't know what is. These late term abortions must end. My position on this matter is well-known. It has long been my mission to protect the unborn. A vast majority of Americans agree, late term abortions are wrong. Period. Full stop. This bill isn't just for the sake of the babies. This bill protects their mothers. At 20 weeks, this horrendous procedure is risky and subjects mothers to serious dangers. Lives are at stake, both for mothers and their babies. I support this bill, and urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle, in both chambers to do the same. Thank you Mr. Franks for introducing this important piece of legislation. Ms. DeLAURO. Madam Speaker, today, I rise for Dr. Liz. This is her story. Laura and Mark, a couple in Connecticut, sought prenatal care from Dr. Liz. When Laura was 20 weeks pregnant, they came in for an ultrasound. The couple was devastated when the scan showed that their baby was affected by anencephaly, meaning absence of brain development. Dr. Liz remembers watching the joy and laughter leave Laura and Mark as they absorbed this news.…”
