This is not about abortions. This is not about babies. This is not about Pro-Life. This is about the very impoverished political agenda of the Right Wing.
The Right Wing doesn't mind pandering to babies when it SERVES THEIR PURPOSE, but, protect them from guns on the street; there just ain't no way.
If women were more important in the minds of the electorate, abortion would be open to all women. But, babies play well for Republicans and this is what concerns them. They don't care that babies are born into the impoverished South with no future and no upward movement. They care about making babies, THE UNBORN, more important than a citizen in the USA.
This is an outrage. It will lead to an increase in both woman, mother and infant deaths. With that a reality, the Republicans will do it ANYWAY they can. They have no ideas, they have only rhetoric and playing on the sympathies of their impoverished voters.

The legislation expected to pass
the Republican-controlled House as early as Tuesday has no chance of
becoming law in the near future: The Democratic-led Senate will ignore
it and the White House has issued a veto threat. But the measure gives
social conservatives a rare chance to promote their anti-abortion agenda
and lays the groundwork for what could be a future challenge to the
1973 Supreme Court decision that confirmed a woman’s right to late-term
abortions.
The two sides in the abortion debate agreed at least on the importance of the measure.
National Right to Life Committee
legislative director Douglas Johnson said it was the ‘‘most significant
piece of pro-life legislation to come before the House since the
Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act’’ that was enacted in 2003. Rep. John
Conyers of Michigan, top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, said
the bill ‘‘clearly is an attack on women’s constitutional right to
choose and is one of the most far-reaching bans on abortion this
committee has ever considered.’’...
