This is obviously very controversial but imo, this is the key factor in whether abortions should be right or wrong. Does a fetus at ANY point from conception feel pain during an abortion? There is nothing worse in life than pain so this is the make or break for me. I've read articles saying that they can, they can't, they can only by a certain time frame etc. I honestly don't know who to believe. It seems like there's probably political agendas tied to each study too, like everything else. What source or study should I trust the most?

IDK. Would you feel pain if someone crushed your head with a pair of giant forceps and then harvested and sold your organs, all with no anesthesia?

Sentience in a fetus is not experienced until about the 15th-18th week.

Pain or not.

What study!!!?

How about human empathy for human life?

Nerves are developing in utero, organs are functioning. any act which makes the infant struggle causes some level of pain; or it should cause pain to anyone who witnesses the termination of human life in utero.

It's a very controversial decision. I guess it comes down to whether you value a fetus more than an adult.

Our society values children over adults so why not value a fetus over an adult? Children are after all our future so it's our future that is being killed. Adults are already screwed up. The fetus still has a chance.
