Unborn Babies May Feel Pain At 12 Weeks

Transcript:

Bryan Fischer here with the Life and Liberty Minute. The scientific evidence is indisputable that a baby in the womb is capable of feeling pain during a dismemberment abortion at a miimum of 20 weeks. But an article in the Journal of Medical Ethics indicates that babies may be able to feel pain much earlier than that, at 12 weeks. One of the two authors of this earth-shattering article is actually pro-choice and has worked with Planned Parenthood. They point out recent evidence from the field of neuroscience indicate that brain developments which begin at 12 weeks gestation could create a pain experience in a preborn baby, because of the developing function of the nervous system. This new research indicates that babies may suffer excruciating pain as they are being torn apart limb from limb in their mothers’ wombs. It is time for this cruelty to stop.
