Trump shames Senate for failing to advance 20
President Trump  slammed the Senate late Monday after legislation banning abortion after 20 weeks of pregnancy failed to survive a procedural vote.
"It is disappointing that despite support from a bipartisan majority of U.S. Senators  this bill was blocked from further consideration "  Trump  said in a statement. "Scientific studies have demonstrated that babies in the womb feel pain at twenty weeks ... We must defend those who cannot defend themselves."
 Trump  added that the vote "rejects scientific fact and puts the United States out of the mainstream in the family of nations  in which only 7 out of 198 nations  including China and North Korea  allow elective abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy."
In  his  own statement  Vice President Mike Pence said he was "disappointed" by the Senate vote  but added: "The pro-life message is winning and President Trump and I will never cease in our commitment to defending and protecting the most vulnerable among us."
