a key pro-life
initiative—the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act—is now officially the
law of North Dakota.
Signed by Governor Jack Dalrymple on April 16, it was to take effect today. It
did, because it went unchallenged by the usual suspects such as the Center for
Reproductive Rights.
North Dakota joins Nebraska,
Kansas, Idaho, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Georgia, Alabama, Texas, and Arkansas in
enacting laws that say that babies cannot be aborted from the point that
compelling medical evidence demonstrates the child can feel pain—20 weeks.
New information paved the
way for legislation to protect these unborn children from the horrific pain
inflicted during an abortion.
Balch recently told ABC News
that she sensed a deep reluctance on the part of abortion advocates to
challenge “pain capable” laws in federal courts, a precursor to a potential
hearing at the Supreme Court.
“I’ve been in this movement
for over 40 years and it used to be the norm that whenever a state passed a
piece of legislation, our opponents would run immediately and get an
injunction,” Balch said. “The pain capable laws are the exception.”
