Washington, DC -- Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of
Priests for Life, issued the following statement today:
"This week, Congressman Trent Franks (AZ-08) will hold
a press conference on the Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, announcing
that its provisions, to protect children in the womb from 20 weeks of
development forward, will apply nationwide. Moreover, a hearing regarding the
bill will be held on Thursday.
"Priests for Life believes this is the most significant
legislative effort to date in bringing protection to unborn children. We have
therefore already alerted every parish in America to inform and mobilize its
congregation in support of this bill. We are also calling upon pro-life
organizations large and small to give it their full support.
"The team of Priests for Life has been instrumental in
bringing attention to the case of Kermit Gosnell and in exposing other
abortionists like him, and has been developing educational strategies related
to late term abortion, such as our StopDandE.com campaign. We will redouble
these efforts as a way of supporting passage of the Pain Capable Unborn Child
Protection Act."
Priests
for Life is the nation's largest Catholic pro-life organization dedicated to
ending abortion and euthanasia.
