RSC Chairman Walker on Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act

October 3, 2017

Washington - Today, the House of Representatives voted to pass the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act (H.R. 36). Republican Study Committee Chairman Mark Walker released the following statement:

All people have the inalienable rights to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. Today's bill marks an important step in protecting these rights for the most vulnerable among us - the unborn. Today's vote in the House of Representatives is a sign of hope the tide is turning on this important issue. I urge Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to not let this important, life-saving bill get thrown on the pile of more than 270 House-passed bills that await Senate passage.
