Listen to remarks given by Mary Spaulding Balch, J.D., and Steven Zielinski, M.D., J.D., at the 2011 National Right to Life Convention. Mary Spaulding Balch, NRLC’s State Legislative Director, was instrumental in crafting legislation that protects unborn children from abortion after they are capable of feeling pain. The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act is now law in five states.

Steven Zielinski is a nationally recognized expert on the phenomena of pain and the unborn, and holds both medicine and law degree’s. He is the author of scholarly research on unborn pain and abortion, and served as an adviser to National Right to Life in crafting Nebraska’s 2010 Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act.

Listen to their remarks on the importance of unborn pain, its reality, and its impact on the abortion debate. Please share widely.
