“Over the last 20 years, medical technology and scientific research, by way of ultrasonography, fetoscopy, fetal electrocardiograms, and fetal electroencephalograms, have demonstrated the remarkable responsiveness of the human fetus to pain, touch and sound… The majority of babies aborted by this [partial-birth abortion, a late term abortion] procedure are alive and feel pain by the end of the procedure… The fact that anesthesia is now routinely used on preborn children during fetal surgery is an obvious commentary on the unborn child’s capacity to feel pain.”

In a partial-birth abortion, the baby was delivered feet first and then her skull was punctured. This was very painful for the baby. Partial-birth abortion is now illegal. Abortions laid in pregnancy are now done by D&E, where the baby is dismembered. This is just as painful for the child, if not more so.
