Ellmers Votes to Protect Life
Congresswoman Renee Ellmers (R-NC-02) released the statement below following the vote on H.R. 36 – Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act
Congresswoman Renee Ellmers (R-NC-02) released the statement below following the vote on H.R. 36 – Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. “As difficult as this process has been, we have arrived at a better bill. Today’s bill alleviates my initial concern as it demonstrates compassion towards women who are in the midst of a crisis while also creating additional protections for the unborn. As a staunch supporter of prolife matters, this new bill will play a pivotal role in providing a voice for the unborn and empowering women.” “As a nurse and a mother, I know how important it is that we allow for a woman to seek medical guidance from a member of the health community during this process. This new bill encourages this discussion and provides a woman with an opportunity to have a conversation with doctors or counselors that she wouldn’t have had otherwise, and this may ultimately lead her down a different path— one where she embraces her unborn child and ultimately chooses life.” Click here to read H.R. 36 – The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act.
