Pro-life group warns federal 15-week abortion ban may pressure states to ‘water down’ restrictions

(Worthy News) – A pro-life advocacy organization advises the pro-life movement and presidential candidates not to push for a federal 15-week abortion ban because it could pressure states to “water down” existing pro-life laws that provide stronger protections for unborn babies.

The Life Legal Defense Foundation published a blog post Wednesday declaring that a federal 15-week abortion ban is “NOT a good idea.” The blog comes as many pro-life advocacy groups and politicians have pushed legislation that would ban abortions at 15 weeks gestation at the federal level while allowing states to pass stronger pro-life laws if they choose to.

The blog warned that “a 15-week federal ban poses critical problems,” noting that “pro-life states have enacted abortion restrictions much more stringent — and effective — than stopping abortions at 15 weeks.” The Life Legal Defense Foundation expressed concern that “the passage of a federal 15-week ban will put tremendous pressure on those states to water down their existing life-saving measures in favor of a de facto’ consensus’ position.” [ Source: Christian Post (Read More…) ]
