Arizona Senate OKs Bill to Ban Abortions After 20 Weeks | LifeNews.com: The Arizona state Senate has approved a measure that would ban abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy based on the scientific evidence showing unborn children feel pain at least at that point in development, if not sooner. The vote was 20 to 10, with one Republican joining Democrats in opposition and the legislation now heads to the Arizona state House.
