Congressman Alex X. Mooney (WV-02) Praises Passage of Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act
Washington, DC – Today, Congressman Alex Mooney (WV-02) praised the passage of H.R. 36, the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act:
“Today, I was proud to vote to end the horrific act of abortion after 20-weeks when science has proven an unborn fetus can feel pain.
When I ran for Congress, I made a commitment to the people of the Second Congressional District of West Virginia that I would do everything in my power to defend the unborn.
I continue to be guided by my faith and values and look forward to working with my colleagues to defend the innocent and give a voice to the voiceless,” said Rep. Mooney.
