| | Dear Jack,
Overwhelming scientific evidence tells us that by 20 weeks of development in the womb, an unborn child can feel excruciating pain.
Yet at 20 weeks and beyond, the lives of unborn babies are being destroyed in the womb through two methods: - D&E (Dilation and Evacuation) Abortion, where the unborn child’s arms and legs are twisted off with brute manual force; or
- The unborn child is stabbed through the heart with a giant needle.
I know my descriptions are graphic, but I want to tell you the truth and I want you to imagine for just a second the pain a precious child experiences in the womb.
After you’ve imagined this unbearable pain, I am asking you to click here to tell your Representative to co-sponsor and support the District of Columbia Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act.
Jack, this bill, sponsored by a longtime hero of the pro-life movement, Rep. Trent Franks of Arizona, would ban abortions at twenty weeks and beyond in the District of Columbia.
It is a medical fact that by at least 20 weeks after fertilization, an unborn child has the capacity to feel pain. Research even shows that unborn children can often feel pain well before 20 weeks.
Take Action Now: Urge your Representative to co-sponsor and enthusiastically support the D.C. Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act
Yet in Washington, D.C., the seat of our national government and resting place of the Declaration of Independence, an unborn child capable of feeling pain can be aborted for any reason before birth.
Make no mistake: late-term abortionists from other states can travel to D.C. to perform abortions that are banned in their states. One out-of-business late-term abortionist, shut down in Florida due to ethics violations and negligence, moved his abortion business to the D.C. area because of its lax abortion laws.
Be a voice for the voiceless unborn: Take Action Now.
You see, Jack, the District of Columbia falls under jurisdiction of the federal government, as laid out in Article I of the Constitution. That means the Congress has the power to pass this law and protect unborn children in the District.
This law, developed and promoted by our friends at the National Right to Life Committee (NRLC), has already passed in five states: Nebraska, Kansas, Idaho, Alabama, and Oklahoma.
And as you might recall, the SBA List included a federal version of this bill in our Pro-Life Presidential Leadership Pledge. In fact, every single Republican presidential candidate left standing – Ron Paul, Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum, and Newt Gingrich -- has agreed that if elected, they will advance and sign into law a federal version of this bill that would apply to all 50 states.
That’s why advancing and passing the District of Columbia Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act is that much more important: it will educate Members of Congress about the bill so that when we have a pro-life Senate and a pro-life President, we can get a federal version passed quickly.
So please, take action now and help save the lives of innocent unborn children in our nation’s capital.
And after you’ve taken action, make sure to send this urgent action alert to at least five or ten of your like-minded friends so they too can take action for Life.
Thank you, as always, for your dedication to our cause and I hope you have a great weekend.
For Life,  
Marjorie Dannenfelser
President, Susan B. Anthony List

P.S. Congressman Trent Franks, a longtime pro-life leader, just introduced a bill that would prohibit abortions of unborn children who are capable of feeling excruciating pain in the womb. Send a message to your Representative right now to urge them to co-sponsor the D.C. Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. After you’ve taken action, make sure to forward this email to as many friends as possible so that they too can take action. | |
