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 fetal pain perception is not possible at the gestational ages when dilation and evacuation (the medical term for the procedure) is typically performed, making the claim that it is done to 'children who can feel pain' factually inaccurate. The statement is therefore FALSE.

Medical consensus holds that fetuses unlikely to perceive pain before about 24 weeks gestation, while dismemberment (D&E) abortions are generally performed earlier; thus the claim that the procedure is done on children who can feel pain in the womb is not supported by evidence.

Scientific evidence indicates that fetal pain perception is not established until at least the third trimester (around 24‑28 weeks), and abortions performed at that stage are extremely rare; thus the claim that abortions are routinely performed on children who can feel pain in the womb is not supported by facts.

The statement claims fetuses can feel pain in the womb, which contradicts the consensus view of major medical organizations like the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists that fetuses are not capable of pain perception during the gestational ages relevant to abortion.
