This is a big deal folks. Currently West Virginia is just one of a few states that has a completely unregulated abortion industry. That means an unborn child can be killed via abortion at any time up to the moment of birth. Yet, a super-majority of Mountaineers believe that life should be defended. The failure of our lawmakers to adequately reflect the will and wishes of the people is glaring.

However, that could all change with one bill. The Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act is poised to pass in the legislature and be sent to the governor to be signed into law. This bill would keep unborn children 20 weeks and older from being killed via abortion. A recent article reports:

“The House Judiciary Committee passed the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act (H.B. 4588) Friday afternoon on a voice vote. Now that H.B. 4588 is out of Judiciary, the bill will go to the House floor for first, second, and third readings. After a favorable vote (and it should pass by an overwhelming margin), the bill will be sent to the Senate.”

It is critical that you take a few moments to contact your lawmakers and let them know how much you support this bill and want to see it passed. You can contact elected lawmakers by clicking here or going to wvforlife.org/legislation/wv-senate/.
