Stauber Votes Against Democrats’ Barbaric Abortion on Demand Until Birth Act

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Pete Stauber (MN-08) voted against the Democrats' Women's Health Protection Act (H.R. 3755), better titled the Abortion on Demand Until Birth Act. This legislation would enable abortion on demand until birth by removing nearly all pro-life protections for the unborn and mandating that every state be a late-term abortion state.

Of this legislation Congressman Pete Stauber stated, "As the pro-life father of four and foster parent, it absolutely breaks my heart that the Democrat majority in the House chose to pass a barbaric bill that would allow abortion violence up until the moment of birth. This legislation is a despicable attack on the sanctity of life and goes directly against the will of the American people, as the overwhelming majority of the population opposes abortion with no limits. I will always stand up for life and push back on the Democrats' radical pro-abortion agenda."

Specifically, this extreme and inhumane legislation would:

• Allows abortions of unborn children for any reason and at any stage of pregnancy up until birth.

• Allows discriminatory abortions on the basis of a baby's sex, race, and potential disability.

• Overrides pro-life laws and prohibits states from enacting legislation that protects unborn children.

Earlier this week, Congressman Stauber spoke on the House Floor to express his strong opposition to this legislation.
