Women's Health Protection Act Could Get Rid of State Restrictions on Late-Term Abortions
(Worthy News) - A proposed abortion bill in Virginia which would have allowed abortion all the way up until birth, made national headlines last week before it was tabled. As CBN News discovered, a federal bill much like the measure in Virginia has been floating around Congress for years.
The Women's Health Protection Act would override state restrictions on third-trimester abortions. It's been introduced in every session of Congress since 2013.
The federal measure would get rid of state restrictions on abortion even after a fetus is deemed viable, meaning no restrictions on late-term abortions. [ Source: CBN News (Read More...) ]
