a
group of U.S. House Democrats reintroduced legislation Wednesday that would force every state to legalize the killing of unborn babies for basically any reason up to birth.
Nicknamed the Abortion Without Limits Up to Birth Act by pro-life advocates, the bill would “guarantee access to abortion everywhere” in the United States. Democrat leaders and many mainstream news outlets have portrayed the bill as an effort to simply “codify the right to an abortion” in response to the U.S. Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade. But pro-life leaders warn it would go beyond Roe and get rid of almost all laws that protect unborn babies.
Bans on sex-selection abortions and taxpayer-funded abortions would be gone if the bill passes. Laws that protect women and girls could be eliminated, too, including parental consent for minors and informed consent laws that ensure mothers receive facts about abortion risks and their unborn baby’s development before going through with an abortion.
All of these, in the views of pro-abortion Democrat lawmakers, restrict a woman’s “fundamental right” to abort her unborn baby.
Currently, 14 states protect unborn babies by strictly limiting or banning abortions, and more are fighting in court to do the same. But if this bill is approved and signed into law, those states would be forced to allow abortions killing babies up to birth.
