Within the past week, Senate committees approved “Nosey’s Law,” which prohibits use of wild or exotic animals in traveling animal acts (S-1903), along with a prohibition against the surgical declawing of cats and other animals (S-1209).
Meanwhile, the “Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act” remains stalled more than two years after introduction. The legislation (S-537), sponsored by Pennacchio, prohibits abortions after 20 weeks.
Medical studies have shown unborn children can feel pain in the womb at least by 20 weeks, if not before.
“This double-standard in the Legislature of caring about animals more than people needs to end,” Pennacchio added. “If we believe that suffering is wrong, we should do something to prevent it, regardless of whether it’s a dog, a cat, or a human fetus.”
Thank you Senator Pennacchio for your courageous stand and for championing the rights of the most helpless among us. God bless!
