OPEN LETTER TO DEMOCRATIC SENATOR JOE MANCHIN WHO VOTED FOR BRINGING THE PAIN-CAPABLE UNBORN CHILD PROTECTION ACT TO THE FLOOR IN 2015
Dear Senator Manchin:
The House of Representatives has overwhelmingly passed and the Senate is now considering the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, the bill that would spare unborn babies aged 20 weeks or more from the physical agonies of dismemberment and decapitation.
In 2015, you voted to bring the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act to the Senate floor for debate. We, your undersigned constituents, and other concerned citizens, respectfully request that you tell us whether you will vote once again to invoke cloture and allow the measure to be brought to the floor. Further, please tell us if you will vote to pass this legislation this session should you have the opportunity.
As you know, S. 1922, the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, is based on the scientific fact that children in the womb are sensitive to pain no later than 20 weeks after fertilization. When their arms, legs, and head are torn from their bodies, they are, in fact, tortured.
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has stated that the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act will be brought to the Senate floor this session. As such, we very much want to confirm your support for 1) ending any filibuster of the legislation and 2) the bill itself.
We await your reply.
