FRC Endorses 'Unborn Child Pain Awareness Act': "Family Research Council President Tony Perkins released the following statement in support of Sen. Sam Brownback's (R-KS) 'Unborn Child Pain Awareness Act' legislation:

"'We cannot deny the medical evidence now before us. From testimony [by pediatrician Dr. Kanwaljeet Anand] taken during the recent partial-birth abortion hearings and advancements in the field of in utero technology, science is telling us unborn children as young as 20 weeks old can feel ["severe and excruciating"] pain. The evidence we have is clear, and we should not keep that evidence from women.'"
