Of course no. Who cares if the baby can feel pain right?

Spoiler alert: the medical consensus is that it’s impossible for a fetus to feel pain until about 30 weeks. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/16118385 …

Who asks the babies if they feel pain? If we can’t ask and they can’t answer your consensus boils down to mere speculation.

Nociceptors have no connection to the brain before around 30 weeks. Saying fetuses can’t feel pain before that stage is as medically obvious as saying you can’t fly because you don’t have wings.

A good reason why is that a 20 week ban would CAUSE a lot of abortions when people get incomplete information at an 18-19 week ultrasound and have to make a rushed decision under pressure.
-
NC has a 20 week ban and my wife and I strongly considered termination when our daughter was diagnosed with a birth defect & the initial indication was that it was connected to a fatal chromosomal addition. Thankfully we had time for an amnio.
-
But I wonder how many people have had to make that decision with less time or fewer resources. How many people have been heartbroken over terminating a planned, hoped and prayed-for pregnancy, all because of an ill-conceived and arbitrary law intruding on medical care?
-
I’m sorry you had to go thru that. People have no idea the heartbreak that goes along with making decisions like this.
-
Abortions after 20 weeks are almost exclusively due to severe medical issues. Abortion bans may be well-intentioned (by which I mean based on a belief that a fetus constitutes an individual human life), but they are universally bad policy.
-
Possibly the avg pro-life person has good intentions, but lawmakers don’t. If they actually talked to experts or women faced with the decision, their theories would be debunked immediately.

(also they'd fund the fuck out of comprehensive sex ed and contraceptives)

This is the exception, not the rule; the bill would not have banned medical decisions to protect a mother; this example is not what the abortion industry is about. God bless that young lady. “Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, The fruit of the womb is a reward.”
-
Why is it that responses like this are always posted by people who can never get pregnant?
-
Maybe because you don’t have to be a woman to care about the fate of children in the womb and humanity as a whole. Caring about others is an attribute given to all of us; some choose not to care. God cares about and loves you too; thanks for sharing.
-
Yeah, but you care not for women who are in horrific situations like these. Nor do people like you care much about human life AT ALL once it is outside the womb. So extolling how "caring" you are falls pretty damn flat with me. Have a nice day.
-
You sound very angry and have no idea who I have helped; that’s okay, God loves you too and He has the answer to your quesgions. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16
-
Spare me.

God really does love you and has a plan for you. “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.” Jeremiah 29:11
