Makes sense, but I believe the legislation would’ve been for those pregnancies after the first trimester. Someone correct me if I am wrong. I do agree though that pain is not really the issue. It’s the destruction of human life that is the issue, and anything we can do to slow or stop it, let’s do it!I have read that there is no measurable brain wave activity until a fetus is 6-8 weeks. I’m not sure at what point the nervous system is mature enough to feel pain. Remember, pain is a survival mechanism, but wouldn’t have a use in an undeveloped fetus, since a fetus has no way of protecting itself in response to pain. I would suspect that by 3 months post conception the fetus might feel pain. I seriously doubt that a baby in the very early stages of development feels pain.
I state this from a scientific perspective. The ability to perceive pain is unrelated to whether a fetus is a human being or not. There are some people who never feel pain due to a defect in their nervous systems. This is a very dangerous condition because they don’t have the normal self protection mechanism that you and I have.
Then we would be no better than them. We are PRO-LIFE remember.Instead of talking lets take to the streets in arms and make these murderers pay.
Of course, pro-life groups supported the bill. A war is won one battle at a time.The contradictions in the Unborn Child Pain Awareness Ct, are numerous. But perhaps the most glaring problem is that the bill accepted as valid the Roe v Wade decision.
The National Right to Life Committee said, “This bill, supported by NRLC, would require abortionists to provide women seeking abortion after 20 weeks past fertilization (the beginning of the sixth month) a brochure explaining that there is “substantial evidence” that the abortion will cause pain to the unborn child, and advise them of their right to request the administration of pain-reducing drugs to the unborn child.”
Some pro-life groups actually supported the bill.
Yes, but we cannot be foolish. By informing women that their children might feel pain, we plant a seed which might lead them to reconsider their action. And if they still don’t reconsider THEN AT LEAST SPARE THE CHILD THE PAIN.Let me ask you this. Would you support a bill that ensures death? How can you call yourself pro-life if the only reason you’re pro-life is because the baby feels pain? It is one of the most hypocritical pieces of legislation I have ever seen. We are to speak the truth and mean it!
