Hatch 'Shocked' His Democratic Colleagues Opposed Common Sense Anti-Abortion Bill
 [Townhall] The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, which bans abortion after 20 weeks, failed to pass the Senate Monday. The legislation passed the House of Representatives last year, but Democrats derailed it today in the upper chamber, with a final vote of 51-46.Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) could not understand how his colleagues on the other side of the aisle could be so heartless. "I am truly shocked by those who declare it 'extreme' to oppose late-term abortions that we know to cause fetal pain," Hatch said in a statement. "The facts on this matter are indisputable: Democrats have willfully ignored science for the sake of political expediency. As for myself, I was proud to vote for the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, and I am eager to continue fighting on behalf of the unborn." Pro-life groups shared Hatch's outrage.
