Doctors point out that an unborn baby reacts to pain in an article from the British Medical Journal:
“The fetus needs to be heavily sedated by sedating the mother before intrauterine manipulations such as transfusions…The changes in heart rate and increase in movement suggest that these stimuli are painful for the fetus.”

“When doctors first began invading the sanctity of the womb, they did not know that the unborn child would react to pain in the same fashion a child would. But they soon learned that he would.”

“Whatever the truth about fetal pain, I think the women are concerned about it. So I tell them we can take care of that with fetal euthanasia.”
