You know you’re living in a horribly degraded culture when people spend years doing research to find out whether unborn babies feel pain so they can feel justified in their pro-child killing stance.
The lead author of a report which concluded that fetuses don’t feel pain until the seventh month used to work for a pro-child killing group. Another author works for a child killing clinic.
Critics disputed the findings and called the report biased….”They have stuck their hands into a hornet’s nest,” said Kanwaljeet Anand, a fetal-pain researcher and professor at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. He believes fetuses as young as 20 weeks feel pain….
The review by researchers at UCSF comes as Congress and state legislatures are considering fetal-pain laws aimed at curtailing abortion. (Source)
If the mere possibility that innocent babies are tortured in the womb doesn’t make these women want to hang their heads in shame for advocating murder…but they’ll realize one day soon how depraved they are.
It’s too tragic for words.

Update II: From Frank Z.:
As an anesthesiologist, I can tell you:
There is a large body of medical literature strongly suggesting (outside of a questionnaire) that even very small premature infants (some younger than aborted fetuses) DO feel pain.
They cry when they are stuck with needles. During surgery, they show responses of hormones and blood pressure consistent with pain.
Therefore, we anesthetize them as we do adults.
