When Can Fetuses Feel Pain?
(Page 1 of 2)

CHICAGO, Aug. 23, 2005

(AP) A review of medical evidence by a group of researchers in California concludes that fetuses likely don’t feel pain until the final months of pregnancy, a powerful challenge to abortion opponents who hope that discussions about fetal pain will make women think twice about ending pregnancies.

Critics angrily disputed the findings and claim the report is biased.

“They have literally stuck their hands into a hornet’s nest,” said Dr. Kanwaljeet Anand, a fetal pain researcher at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, who believes fetuses as young as 20 weeks old feel pain. “This is going to inflame a lot of scientists who are very, very concerned and are far more knowledgeable in this area than the authors appear to be. This is not the last word — definitely not.”
 
Not only was this ‘report’ produced by a medical staff that included a NARAL member med student and a staff member at an abortion clinic,

The 5 people who wrote it included a few OB\GYNs, an Anesthesiologists, and a Pediatrician.

Note the decided lack of a specialist in the very area they are trying to study; Fetal Neurology
