On Wednesday, Star Parker, columnist and president of the Center for Urban Renewal and Education (CURE) testified before the House Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on the Constitution and Civil Justice regarding H.R.490, otherwise known as the Heartbeat Protection Act of 2017.

H.R.490 would “[amend] the federal criminal code to make it a crime for a physician to knowingly perform an abortion: (1) without determining whether the fetus has a detectable heartbeat, (2) without informing the mother of the results, or (3) after determining that a fetus has a detectable heartbeat.”
