On Wednesday, May 22, SBA List's Marilyn Musgrave will join Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ) and other national pro-life leaders for a press conference to discuss the Nationwide Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act to ban abortion past 20 weeks gestation based on scientific research that shows unborn children feel pain at that point in development and possibly even earlier.

Just days after a Philadelphia jury found abortionist Kermit Gosnell guilty of the murder of three newborn children and the negligent death of a patient, evidence of similar atrocities has surfaced in Houston, Texas. Susan B. Anthony List President Marjorie Dannenfelser implored the media to cover the story of abortionist Douglas Karpen and the evidence, including photographs, brought forward by three of his former employees.

“The abortion lobby claims that the Gosnell clinic is an outlier, but the footage released this morning by Live Action reveals once more that the abortion industry treats women and children as mere pieces of meat. Leroy Carhart, the most visible and ‘celebrated’ of America’s late-term abortionists jokes about using pick axes and drill bits to pull apart the body of a child capable of surviving outside the womb. How is this different from the atrocities that occurred at Kermit Gosnell’s Women’s Medical Society in Philadelphia?" -- Marjorie Dannenfelser

“Lieutenant Governor Rebecca Kleefisch has proved she is a strong advocate for Life and the pro-life taxpayers of Wisconsin. We are thankful for her continued leadership in defending the dignity of every human life and are thrilled to honor her with the Distinguished Leader Award.”
