Johnson Supports the Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act

Press Release

Today, U.S. Representatives Dusty Johnson (R-S.D.) and Chris Smith (R-N.J.) along with 142 of their colleagues introduced the Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act (H.R. 1080), which would prohibit most abortions after 20 weeks.

"Science and data matters, and the science tells us that unborn babies feel pain and can survive out of the womb at 20 weeks," said Johnson. "We are no longer living in uninformed times and medical advancements should be taken seriously -- the medicine tells us late-term abortions are inhumane. I am proud to champion legislation to prevent further tragedy from happening to the lives of innocent unborn babies."

Johnson is a member of the Pro-Life Caucus.
