Have you also heard the garbage that fetus's can't feel pain until 2nd trimester?

Question

It is true and documented that a baby in the womb, in 1st trimester shows obvious negative reactions if the Mother carrying that baby even THINKS of lighting up a cigarette! Pain is felt at all stages and where does this lie come from? The abortion mills?
By the way, the word "fetus" is a latin word meaning "BABY in the womb".

Answer 1

Fetal pain, though effective at possibly jolting a hardened heart awake, is secondary to the real issue. Pro-lifers shouldn't put all their eggs into the "fetal pain" basket. There are more important issues to argue & settle.

A human is a human no matter at what stage of development he/she is--whether one celled, two celled, zygote, embryo, fetus, whether in the test tube, the fallopian tube or attached in the uterus. This is a scientific FACT. That *this* is disputed by those who would call themselves honest scientists is the travesty.

Pre-born have their worth in the fact that they have been created both body & soul by the Almighty Creator, and are redeemed both body & soul by the Redeemer, Jesus Christ--whether "wanted" by any human or not.

Answer 2

constructive, little ones respond to stimuli interior the womb at expanding ranges in the process the being pregnant. the universal public of abortions are carried out early interior the 1st trimester in the previous any of those issues are occurring. Like, greater effective than ninety 5-ninety seven% of abortions ensue in the previous a fetus is responding to any stimuli or able to generating mature, intense point strategies interest mandatory to sense discomfort. i've got carried out my study, as i'm a intense threat obstetrical nurse. in accordance to the Guttmacher Institute, a distinctly respected abortion researcher and collecter of abortion statistical documents, 9 in 10 abortions take place interior the 1st trimester, and sixty one% ensue at decrease than 9 weeks. So in case you provides you any respected study that has been peer reviewed and replicated which involves a consensus that there is fetal discomfort modern-day at decrease than 1c81e728d9d4c2f636f67f89cc14862c weeks, or greater suitable yet, decrease than 9 weeks, i could % to work out it. right here is mine: In c81e728d9d4c2f636f67f89cc14862c005 interior of u . s . a ., a meta-diagnosis of latest experiments printed interior the magazine of the yank medical association (JAMA) concluded that the available information shows fetal concept of discomfort isn't likely in the previous the third trimester, and that electroencephalography shows the flexibility for useful discomfort concept in untimely toddlers probable does not exist in the previous c81e728d9d4c2f636f67f89cc14862c9 or 30 weeks; this learn asserted that withdrawal reflexes and transformations in heart quotes and hormone ranges in accordance with invasive procedures are reflexes that don't point out fetal discomfort.[2] ^ a b Lee, Susan J., Ralston, Henry J.

Answer 3

Can a fetus feel pain?

Overview:

The short answer is maybe. At an advanced stage during pregnancy, a fetus may become capable of feeling pain. But, there appears to be no consensus among experts about whether this happens and at what point in the pregnancy the sensation of pain starts:
bullet Many physicians and researchers of fetal development believe that synaptic connections within the fetus' brain are necessary to perceive pain. These are not formed until the third trimester, when fewer than 1% of all pregnancy terminations are done. For example, researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, CA wrote that babies born before 30 weeks’ gestation lack "functional pain perception." They suggested that this is one indicator that "fetal perception of pain is unlikely before the third trimester." 17
bullet Some mental and medical professionals suggest that a fetus cannot feel pain, no matter how far developed. For example, Stuart Derbyshire, a psychologist at the University of Birmingham, UK, is an expert specializing in how the brain feels pain. He wrote that there is "good evidence that fetuses cannot experience pain." According to World Science, he argues that the complex medical processes necessary for the experience of pain cannot begin until the jolt of life outside the womb kick starts them. Thus, a fetus -- no matter how advanced in development -- cannot feel pain. The presence of pain in newborns is not a sign that a fetus at the same gestational age can feel pain. World Science comments:

"The brain circuitry for processing pain seems to be complete by 26 weeks' gestation, he wrote. But true pain requires not only development of the brain but also development of the mind to accommodate the subjectivity of pain."

"This mental development occurs only outside the womb, he added, through the baby’s actions and interactions with caregivers. The chemical environment in the uterus encourages sleep and suppresses higher-level brain activity necessary for pain perception, wrote Derbyshire, who uses brain scans frequently in his research." 18

bullet Others, mostly pro-life advocates, believe that a fetus as early as 7 weeks after conception can feel pain. Thus, they believe that a fetus can feel pain part way through the first trimester, when most abortions are actually performed

Answer 4

A negative reaction (if this is even correct) is not evidence of sentience, especially when the thing you're looking at hardly even has a brain.



I find it somewhat amusing that the religious are the first to say that a fetus can feel pain but are *also* the first to claim that it's perfectly alright to lop off the tip of newborn males' ding dongs because it's the most painless time to do it. (For religious reasons, of course. I see no point in mutiliation.)

Answer 5

Yeah I'm wondering what the fetus is thinking when mom uses drugs to pop out more than one egg that all get fertilized and result in mulitiple high-risk pregnancies and birth, all because of a selfish desire to have babies at any cost, and the chance that a few babies would be born premature, or even not be born at all.

Isn't it strange I don't hear fundamentalists not speaking out against THAT ridiculousness? Some of them are a few who actually do this too... hmm....

Answer 6

But the bible states that someone isn't human until they take their first breath of air. Does this mean the bible is wrong?

Psedopod is a latin word meaning "False foot."

Answer 7

i find it hard to believe that anything without a nervous system is able to feel pain. would love to see some 'true' and 'documented' sources though.

Answer 8

I've never heard that.

I still support the freedom for women to choose abortion.

Answer 9

My left pinkie toe feels nothing. I wonder what happened to me there. Maybe I have no nerve endings, not sure..

Answer 10

I agree with you 100%! Life begins at conception! And murder is murder, no matter what age or time in your life. If you don't want to have a baby, practice abstinence. It's a safe bet.
