Mr. KENNEDY. Mr. President, I call up my amendment 3758 and ask that it be reported by number.

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. KENNEDY. Mr. President, after 20 weeks of gestation, medical science has determined that children in their mother's womb feel pain. To channel my good friend and the distinguished Senator from Rhode Island, you can go to the appropriate professor at any of the universities in your State, and they will tell you that is so.

This amendment will allow for penalties for those who perform elective--elective--abortions on unborn children who are at least 20 weeks in gestation. This amendment would not apply to abortions in the case of rape, of incest, or when the life of the mother is in danger.
