Bilirakis Supports Passage of Legislation Protecting Unborn Children and Their Mothers

"Gosnell's recent trial revealed the horrifying details of illegal late-term abortions and the danger they pose to women and children. Today, I joined my colleagues in support of H.R. 1797, the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, which aims to protect unborn children and their mothers by preventing these atrocities from happening again. As a father of four and a U.S. Congressman, I believe strongly in the sanctity of human life – both born and unborn. It is my hope that one day no one will be in the situation where abortion is thought to be the only option."
