Nebraska Senator Ben Sasse delivered an impassioned pro-life speech and said  "We all start in the same place: vulnerable and dependent in every way. We all ooh and aah over sonogram pictures of our children, our grandchildren, our nieces and nephews.… You don’t have to be conditioned to know that we should help the vulnerable….This should not be a partisan issue…. Because more and more people are looking at these images and it’s not going to be a partisan issue. It’s going to be a bipartisan issue that you have to tell the truth that those pictures are pictures of babies and they’re alive and they deserve our protection." The 20 week abortion ban came up short. But as more and more Americans embrace the humanity of the unborn, it is likely the bill will one day pass into law.
