Doctors from the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (RCOG) in Britain, led by Professor Allan Templeton of Aberdeen University in Scotalnd, have said that nerve connections in the brain are not sufficiently formed to allow pain perception until after the current 24-week limit for terminations.

However a spokesman for the Church in Scotland said this focus on pain levels sidelined the wider argument. “In this debate the question of pain levels are a secondary issue” Peter Kearney, director of the Scottish Catholic Media Office, said.
