VERDICT · FALSE
The statement contains two factual claims: (1) that a 'horrifying procedure' (dismemberment abortion) is 'still being done to children who can feel pain in the womb,' and (2) that this is why the Dismemberment Abortion Ban Act is needed. Medical consensus indicates that the capacity to feel pain does not develop until at least 24 weeks of gestation, yet over 99% of abortions occur before this point, and dismemberment abortions (dilation and evacuation) are typically performed in the second trimester when fetal pain perception is not neurologically possible. Therefore, the claim that the procedure is being done on 'children who can feel pain' is factually inaccurate, making the overall statement FALSE.

VERDICT · FALSE
The statement asserts that fetuses can feel pain in the womb, a claim not supported by scientific consensus; major medical organizations conclude fetal pain perception is unlikely before approximately 24 weeks gestation, making the claim factually inaccurate.

VERDICT · FALSE
The statement contains factual inaccuracies regarding fetal pain perception (medical consensus indicates fetuses cannot feel pain until the third trimester) and uses subjective language ('horrifying procedure') rather than verifiable facts. Additionally, the date (2026) is in the future relative to current knowledge, making the legislative claim unverifiable.
