NO COMPROMISE: Obama vows to veto bill banning abortions after 20 weeks

In the name of ‘reproductive freedom for women’, Obama vows to veto an abortion bill that will ban abortions after 20 weeks:

CNS NEWS – The White House has vowed to veto a House bill that would ban abortions after 20 weeks gestation with exceptions of rape and incest.

“The Administration is committed to the protection of women’s health and reproductive freedom and to supporting women and families in the choices they make. If the President were presented with this legislation, his senior advisors would recommend that he veto this bill,” the White House said in a statement issued Monday about the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act.

The bill cleared the House by a vote of 228-196 Tuesday evening. It was amended to include exceptions for cases of rape and incest after an earlier version that did not include the exceptions cleared the House Judiciary Committee.

“The Administration strongly opposes H.R. 1797, which would unacceptably restrict women’s health and reproductive rights and is an assault on a woman’s right to choose. Women should be able to make their own choices about their bodies and their health care, and Government should not inject itself into decisions best made between a woman and her doctor,” the statement read.

Rep. Trent Franks (R-Ariz.), who introduced the legislation, said what has been allowed in terms of abortion in the United States is not acceptable.

“Knowingly subjecting our innocent unborn children to dismemberment in the womb, particularly when they have developed to the point that they can feel excruciating pain every terrible moment leading up to their undeserved deaths, belies everything America was called to be. This is not who we are,” he said Thursday after the bill cleared the House Judiciary Committee.
