Terry Lathan, the chairman of the Alabama Republican Party, blasted Sen. Doug Jones for voting ‘no’ Monday on the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, a bill that would have outlawed abortions after 20 weeks when babies have been proven to feel pain.

“After today’s vote, we now see Senator Doug Jones’ true colors,” Lathan said in a statement issued Monday evening. “We will not forget his vote to block this bill banning late-term abortions. It is disgraceful that Senator Jones, who claims to want to ‘give voice to the challenges that face so many of our most vulnerable Americans’ would refuse to be a voice for the most vulnerable of them all: innocent lives in the womb.”

Lathan noted how far out of sync Jones is with his constituents – nearly 60 percent of Alabamians believe abortion should be illegal in all or most cases, according to a survey by the Pew Research Center.

“As one of the strongest pro-life states in the nation, Alabamians will hold Senator Jones accountable for this vote and every move he makes in the future regarding legislation that supports life at all stages,” she said.
