House Republicans will make another attempt to curb late-term abortions in October.
U.S. House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy announced he will reintroduce the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act at a Tuesday press conference. The bill will ban abortions after 20 weeks, the point in pregnancy in which fetuses can begin to feel pain. Similar legislation has passed in 20 states. Senate Democrats blocked federal legislation in 2015 after a 54-42 filibuster vote.
McCarthy said the bill is needed to "protect the voiceless, the vulnerable, and the marginalized" and end "needless suffering."
