Does an abortion hurt more than a circumcision? For the baby, I mean...?

Question

I don't even remember my circumcision, and I was WAY older than the first trimester...

Answer 1

I read somewhere a doctor said that "circumcision" would cause more pain than a fatal wound might cause.

Also in many cases "circumcision" has proven to be a fatal wound. A neo-natal abortion?

Both procedures reflect poor judgement and ignore the rights of the child.

Answer 2

Scientifically speaking, no.

Once the baby is born, his nerves are fully developed and he will definitely feel a knife slicing into his willy. On the other hand, a legally aborted baby would have been in its 1st or maybe 2nd trimester and the pain receptors would have been undeveloped.
So as far as pain goes, circumcision hurts more.

edit: All you people who keep saying abortion hurts more because it's death, give a real reason. Death doesn't necessarily hurt (i.e. being shot in the head, dying in one's sleep, etc.) if it's quick (as an abortion is, if it is done legally). There's a reason partial birth abortions are rarely ever conducted and are highly unethical.

Answer 3

That has to be the stupidest thing I've ever heard my entire life, abortion is MURDER a circumcision is a minor surgery just a little cut. Abortion is KILLING a baby of course the baby doesn't remember it BECAUSE ITS DEAD. How can you even compare the to. Come on get a grip!

Answer 4

Hmmm... let's see. I don't mean to be blunt, but a circumcision hurts less... an abortion kills the baby... What do YOU think is more painful: Death or getting curcumcised

Answer 5

no it doesn't. a fetus is incapable of feeling pain until 20-26 weeks.

Answer 6

Maybe you should ask the babies that have been through each procedure.
