The House just passed H.R. 36, the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, which protects unborn children at 20 weeks, with exceptions to save the life of the mother or in cases of rape or incest. This important legislation will protect the unborn, empower women, and save lives. House Republicans celebrated this historic day with press conferences, floor speeches, and social media posts:
