TITUSVILLE, FL -- Priests for Life National Director Frank Pavone released the following statement today about the introduction in the U.S. Senate of the Dismemberment Abortion Ban of 2026.

“Ever since our nation passed, and the Supreme Court upheld, the ban on partial birth abortion twenty years ago, we have been saying that the next step is to protect children from dismemberment abortion.

“These measures enjoy the strong support of our fellow citizens, a support that only grows stronger when we actually look at what abortion does to a child in the womb. Abortion does not magically erase a pregnancy. It violently kills a baby. The medical textbook Abortion Practice by Warren Hern describes abortion as ‘dismemberment’ and ‘decapitation.’

“It is time to both end this violence, and to challenge supporters of abortion to describe what they defend.”
