Blackburn Vows to Continue Fight to Protect the Unborn

Statement

Congressman Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) issued the following statement regarding her continued efforts to build support for and pass H.R. 36, the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act.

"Over the past few weeks I've had the privilege of leading the effort to build support for the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act as we work to ensure the unborn are provided the same protections that all human life deserves. While I am disappointed we were not able to complete our work on this important piece of legislation this week, I am appreciative of the Members who brought their concerns to me. I agree with the National Right to Life that it was better to delay the vote than to pass a greatly weakened bill.

"We must return the focus of this legislation to what matters most -- protecting the lives of precious babies. As the primary co-sponsor of this bill, it is a top priority for me and I remain committed to working with our leadership team, the Pro-Life Caucus, and the pro-life organizations who have fought along side us to build support and move this legislation across the finish line."
