Banning abortion at 20 weeks is bad policy. The bans - which are being passed in many states across the country in blatant violation of Roe v. Wade - are justified on [on the basis of] "science[.]"  [T]his isn't science at all, but a lie manufactured by the religious right, the claim that fetuses feel pain at 20 weeks. It's an attempt to loosen up the hard-and-fast viability test that the Supreme Court laid out in 1973 for outright bans. So why does Wendy Davis, pro-choice hero who famously stood up against an omnibus bill in Texas that includes, amongst a bunch of attacks on clinics that provide first trimester abortions, support a ban on abortions after 20 weeks?
