[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The anti-choice poster here is trying to pretend that she's just presenting the unbiased facts of how second-trimester abortions proceed.  Well, I for one, don't consider the National Right to Life Campaign an unbiased source.   The truth is that the medical community has no consensus about when a fetus feels pain.  Different studies have shown everything from 18-29 weeks or later - for the release of stress hormones.  Whether a fetus has the context to understand that as "pain" is a different question.

But, for instance, when my 22 week old had to undergo surgery while still in the womb - would you have suggested that she be offered anesthesia?  Or that I should have forgone lifesaving surgery because she was being "torn apart" without anesthesia?

These questions are complicated, and believe me, women can get all the information they need from, for instance, their genetics counselor without turning to someone like you who is trying to promote an agenda.To pretend that women don't seek information (the information that THEY think is important for their family's decision making) and agonize over these situation [b]shows a profound disrespect for women going through a traumatic event[/b].[/quote]

Or it shows the [u]highest amount of respect [/u]b/c here they are, caring so much that they are consistently facing an upward battle by posting here, repeatedly, and repeatedly, and getting only venom and derision as thanks.

Depends upon how you look at it.  [/quote]
