"There is a substantial and growing body of medical and scientific evidence that unborn babies at 20 weeks can feel intense pain when they are aborted," Hanusa said during debate Thursday. "At 20 weeks, unborn children have pain receptors throughout their body and nerves link these to the brain."

The above is from a news article about abortion law changes in a couple of states. I won't post the link as the law changes in this state or that isn't what I'm concerned about here.

My question for pro-choice people is does this matter to you? Shouldn't the pro-choice movement be in the forefront of trying to make abortion more "humane"?

How do we treat murderers given the death penalty? Not by jamming a sharp tube in their heads and sucking their brains out. Or cutting their bodies to pieces.

How do we euthanize pets? We make efforts to be humane there. Why not with fetuses? Because recognition that fetuses can feel pain would weaken the pro-choice movement?
