From Texas State Senator Kelly Hancock's speech on the Senate floor
“These hospital associations and medical physicians that say there’s no such thing as fetal pain would call Mia (Garza McCord, Chief of Staff for State Senator Hancock) and ask her to come to the hospital…[John Mark’s] vitals were dangerously high. They would ask her to simply come to the hospital because the machines weren’t working. What that baby needed was to lay on that mother’s stomach and feel the love and the touch of a mother.
“When John mark felt that love and felt that touch, skin upon skin, his vitals began to improve. For weeks and months, that hospital who doesn’t believe in fetal pain did believe the evidence was there and I got to see it personally. When a mother touches a child the vital signs improve more than an incubator, better than a bunch of machines.”
John Mark McCord weighed 1 lbs, 4.8 ounces when he was born at 26 weeks.
