Will 20-Week Abortion Ban Advance in the New Congress?

MSNBC: The GOP wants to take the abortion wars national again, by Irin Carmon:

The Hill reports that on Monday, the first day of the new session, Rep. Trent Franks and Rep. Marsha Blackburn reintroduced the tendentiously named “Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act.” It bans abortion after 20 weeks on the medically-disputed theory that fetuses can feel pain at that point. . . .
