is there not something to make this painless?

First off, let me say, i am AGAINST Abortion. Second off, good question, b/c I believe the baby DOES feel the pain, until it dies, much like us.

From your question I'm guessing you are talking about late term abortions. According to Wikipedia: "An incision is made at the base of the skull and a suction catheter is inserted into the cut. The brain tissue is removed, which causes the skull to collapse and allows the fetus to pass more easily through the birth canal." So technically, it's not "crushed." These are very rarely performed - "the Alan Guttmacher Institute estimated the number of abortions past 24 weeks to be 0.08% (approximately 1,032 per year)." And even though it's still legal in some locations, good luck finding a provider.
No one is sure at what point a fetus registers pain. Obviously, if there was a way to anesthetize the fetus, to be on the safe side, that would be better. The medical community has never been very aggressive about managing pain in infants. Some doctors will still perform circumcisions without any pain meds for the babies.

This is to yellowbug okay if the skull is not crushes but the there is an incision made would that not cause the baby pain as well until the brain is sucked out.
Abortion is wrong and these poor little babies have never experience the warm loving embraces of their mother's arms to know that there are people out here that care about them. It is so sad. I wish that these women having an abortion would have to watch a video of what these babies are being put through. Even after some babies are out of the uterus they are still moving and then they just toss them in a garbage bag and throw them out for the trash pick up. IT IS SAD SAD SAD SAD SAD!!!!

Something painless is the choice of NO aborting the fetus. Regardless of the fact that they do crash the fetus's head, the whole procedure is painful for the baby.

That is not something that should be discussed in this setting. I mean everybody has a right to their own opinion but that's not something that I wanna read about while being pregnant with my second child. I'm sure that there are websites that have that information on their websites. And know that I am against abortions 100%

No one doing an abortion seems to care about what the baby is feeling.

Because selfish women who get pregnant and then decide they don't want to deal with the consequences don't care if they hurt the baby. BTW.. they don't always crush the skull. Sometimes they put stuff in your body that burns the baby. Either way is cruel.

Because it is MURDER, they don't always crush the skull but any way they abort it will hurt the innocent baby.

NO NOTHING WILL MAKE IT PAINLESS EXCEPT QUIT HAVING SEX IF YOU DONT WANT TO GET PREGNANT.
