A group of Republican Senators introduced the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act once again, a piece of legislation that would ban abortions after 20 weeks gestation. Led by Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) the lawmakers deem the legislation “common sense” policy on abortion, citing an unborn child’s ability to feel pain at 20 weeks into a woman’s pregnancy.
Republicans in the upper chamber have tried numerous times to pass this legislation unsuccessfully, and the vast majority of the caucus has historically supported it. Reintroducing the measure in the opening days of the Biden administration, Graham said that the legislation would put the country on “the right side of history.”

Four years ago, just prior to the November election, I wrote an article titled âHillary Should Have a âCatholic Problem.ââ I started by citing numerous articles in the national press that proclaimed Donald Trump was having difficulty winning over Catholics â a key voting bloc in any candidateâs run for the presidency. In fact, according to Pew Research Center polls, Trump ended up taking 52% of the Catholic vote in 2016 to Hillary Clintonâs 45%.
At this writing, we are still awaiting the final steps in the process of confirming the winner of the 2020 presidential election, but some voter data is already available. According to a poll of more than 110,000 voters conducted for the Associated Press, American Catholics were more evenly split this year between support for President Donald Trump (50%) and Democratic challenger Joe Biden (49%) â who, unlike Clinton, is Catholic.
