Ra\u00fal Labrador (R-ID) voted for H.R. 36, the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act today. This bill, which passed the House, prohibits abortions of unborn babies 20 weeks after conception, with limited exceptions. At the 20-week mark, unborn children can feel pain, according to substantial medical evidence. Rep. Labrador, a cosponsor of H.R. 36, released the following statement:\r\n\r\n\t\u201cI am strongly pro-life. The federal government\u2019s most important responsibility is protecting human life, including the lives of the unborn. Additionally, we have a moral obligation to minimize pain and suffering \u2013 especially for the most innocent among us. I am proud to support H.R. 36 and I will continue doing all I can to promote a \u2018culture of life.\u2019\u201d\r\n\r\n\tThe United States is one of only seven countries that allow abortions after 20 weeks. At the 20-week mark, anesthesia is used in fetal surgeries for patients still in utero. For premature babies born at this stage, special care is given to reduce their pain.", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["http://labrador.house.gov/index.cfm?sectionid=49&itemid=1127"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.3668709434568882, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
