Prohibit most abortions after 20 weeks

Cornyn cosponsored the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, which would prohibit abortion after 20 weeks of pregnancy, with exceptions for cases of rape or incest and when necessary to protect the life of the mother. He also voted for a 20-week prohibition with those same exceptions. These are a specific legislative position and past vote, not a broader statement of future campaign commitments on abortion.
