Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ) held a hearing of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution and Civil Justice on Thuesday to consider a bill that would institute a 20-week abortion ban in Washington, D.C., just days after a federal appeals court declared that a similar law in Arizona is unconstitutional.
Legislation proposed by Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ) that would ban sex-selection or race-based abortions perpetuates stereotypes about immigrants and minorities, according to NARAL Pro-Choice America.
Before voting on the House resolution to reaffirm the phrase "In God We Trust" as the nation's motto Tuesday evening, Rep. Lamar Smith (R-TX) expressed his view of how necessary this was for the country.
