The White House on Monday said President Trump would sign a bill banning abortion after 20 weeks, if Congress passes the legislation.
The House is scheduled to vote Tuesday on the bill, the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, which is sponsored by Rep. Trent Franks, R-Ariz. If the bill were to become law, people who perform abortions after 20 weeks would face a fine, up to five years in prison or both.
