Congress To Hear Bill That Would Ban All Abortions Past 6 Weeks

Share:

A bill banning abortions as soon as the heartbeat of the unborn child can be detected is heading to Congress.

The House will hear the case for the “Heartbeat Protection Act of 2017” on Nov. 1 to decide whether to adopt a bill banning abortion upon detection of a heartbeat, which usually occurs around 6 weeks. It’s passage would mark not only a huge win for the pro-life moment, but would also place tightened restrictions on abortion doctors than what states currently have. Doctors who violate the law would be subject to five years in prison.

Introduced by Republican Rep. Steve King of Iowa, the bill — H.R. 490 — insists that the doctor must determine whether the fetus has a detectable heartbeat and inform the mother of the results before proceeding with an abortion if no heartbeat is present.
