Washington D.C., Jun 6, 2013 \/ 01:26 pm (CNA<\/a>).- By a vote of 6 to 4, the U.S. House Subcommittee on the Constitution and Civil Justice approved a bill on Tuesday that would ban abortions after 20 weeks of gestation.<\/p>\n

\tThe bill, introduced by Congressman Trent Franks (R-Ariz.), is based on mounting evidence which indicates that unborn children can feel pain at 20 weeks gestation and possibly earlier.<\/p>\n

\tRep. Franks said he hoped the recent trial of Philadelphia abortionist Kermit Gosnell had created a \u201cteachable moment\u201d on the reality of late-term abortions in the U.S. Gosnell was convicted last month of murdering babies who survived his late-term abortions. He was accused of mistreating patients and running an unsanitary clinic with blood-stained rooms and filthy equipment.<\/p>\n

\t\u201cWe, as a nation, find ourselves at a point at which we don't offer unborn children even the most basic protections \u2013 even protections we extend to animals and property,\u201d Franks said in a press release.<\/p>\n

\t\u201cThe trial of Kermit Gosnell exposed late abortions for what they really are: relocated infanticide.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tThe Susan B. Anthony List, a national pro-life group, released a statement of support for the bill upon its advancement.<\/p>\n

\t\u201cWe praise Congress\u2019 recent action not only to protect the lives of children capable of feeling pain, but to learn more about the practices going on inside late-term abortion facilities throughout the country,\u201d said the group\u2019s president, Marjorie Dannenfelser.<\/p>\n

\tThe SBA List is also participating in a new \u201cStop the Gosnells\u201d coalition as an effort to encourage increased legislation addressing the impact of late-term abortions on women, children and society. The group has sent nearly 40,000 messages to representatives nationwide, calling for a ban on late-term abortions.<\/p>\n

\tWhile the proposed legislation will need to pass several more hurdles to become law, Franks said he hopes to see it advance in the legislature.<\/p>\n

\t\u201cWe are better than dismembering babies who can feel every excruciating moment,\u201d the congressman said. \u201cI look forward to the bill's moving on the full Judiciary Committee and to an eventual vote on this necessary, common-sense measure.\u201d<\/p>\n
