WASHINGTON− Congressman Chuck Fleischmann voted for the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. This bill establishes a nationwide prohibition on aborting unborn children that have surpassed 20 weeks gestation.

“All life is precious, and we as members of Congress must fight to protect the unborn in every lawful manner.
