"SENATE Democrats Defeat Pro-Life Senate Bill Banning Late-Term Abortions After 20 Weeks

The Senate voted yesterday (1-29-18) on whether to stop the Democrats’ filibuster of the Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, legislation that would ban abortions after 20 weeks — as neither Congress nor state legislatures can vote to ban all abortions under Roe v. Wade. The bill highlights how unborn babies feel intense pain when they are killed in abortions. Fifty-one senators (forty-eight Republicans and three Democrats) voted to take the bill up for debate, but 60 votes were required. 

 “Americans should be outraged that pro-abortion Senate Democrats refuse to protect unborn babies who can feel pain. An overwhelming majority of Americans support this bill, including 56% of Democrats and 56% of those who identify as ‘pro-choice’,” said Carol Tobias, president of National Right to Life."

This is my letter to two NY  democrats and Bernie Sanders (VT)

Dear Senator Gillibrand, Sanders and Schumer,
Would you be so kind to enlighten me why Senate Democrats yesterday blocked a vote on a pro-life Senate bill to ban late-term abortions — a bill that would save as many as 18,000 unborn babies form abortions each and every year?

The Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, legislation that would ban abortions after 20 weeks — A bill that highlights how unborn babies feel intense pain when they are killed in abortions.

I am saddened and outraged that pro-abortion Senate Democrats refuse to protect unborn babies who can feel pain. An overwhelming majority of Americans support this bill, including 56% of Democrats and 56% of those who identify as ‘pro-choice', according to Carol Tobias, president of National Right to Life.

In the vast majority of cases, there's no medical need/evidence why an abortion should be carried out after several months of gestation- unless of course the life of the mother is at risk- which isn't normally the case in most abortions.

Please, be kind and explain your reasoning to me, in why you failed to support this bill.
