“Because the fetus feels no pain, a function of the brain as yet undeveloped, and the woman acts under her own will and conscience, it is still not violence to a human being.…
It is not enough to say that abortion is not violent. Abortion is a positive decision and not a lesser evil. It gives women control over their lives, their fertility, their education, their vocations, and their responsibility to their families, and is therefore profamily and pro-life.”

this isn’t violence?

I do not believe this pastor would change his abortion stance even if he was made aware of fetal pain. Abortion has always been justified w lies, distortions and false choices – fetus is just a bunch of cells, a virus, a tumor; it will prevent you from enjoying/pursuing whatever.
