If they cry, they feel pain.

The recent JAMA article by an abortionist and former NARAL activist wherein they didn't even disclose their conflicts was done to counter actual real science being done, such as this

Of course! And the liberals, claiming that the fetus signaling "pain signals" is a mere biologic "reflex" are the same who argue for euthanasia by writ large.

Of course these little folks feel pain.

Thanks! Will ping out the Moral Absolutes list later today.

Wow. Maybe that's what the cat heard. I always figured she could hear their heartbeats.

I think you have something there. When I was 9 months pregnant with my son and laying down, my golden tabby walked up upon my tummy, and claimed me. She'd never done that or anything like that before. She always wanted to be a mommy. Still acts like one to her sibling 17-year olds. She watches over my son, too.

Scientists played a 90-decibel noise to the unborn child, roughly the equivalent of a tummy rumbling, and recorded the effect the noise had via ultrasound. “It was strikingly like an infant crying,” said New Zealand pediatrician Ed Mitchell, who contributed to the US study, according to New Zealand's The Age. “Even the bottom lip quivers.”

Yeah...at first. And then the kid starts going like this:

"[Whew!]...It is really hot down here! [fweet!] Mom! MOM! You’re not wolfin’ down jalapeños again, are ya?! Yeah, 'cuz lemme tell ya ’bout my friend Ned...his mama ate nothin’ but spicy foods? Homeboy came out red, Ma! Bright red! So if you keep crammin’ those peppers down your neck, I might just bust out of here early...grab somethin’ on the way out, take it with me!”

Agnes would huddle up next to my stomach every time I sat down, when I was pregnant. And when I was in labor before James was born, she settled herself right on my broadest point and spent most of the night with me.

It will be strange having a baby with no cat this time!

AWWW!

With my first and second, we had no pets, yet. Then a stray we'd adopted gave birth to 4. I had found homes for them, was paying bills one day, when my eldest and hubby, arms around each other announced "We don't give babies away in this house".

heh.

So, yes, I am the pac mother of now only 3 aged cats, and a wonderful dog, my loyal and regular walking partner.

I'd lay, most uncomfortably while carrying my 3rd, with all these animals each trying to lay on a part of me.

I've learned to how to sleep, contortionist style. And how to unfurl myself from the motley crew still sneaking up on me during the night. :)

[Tax-chick]

That's a lot of pets! It could be hard to sleep with two adults, a baby, and the cat. Agnes died about a month ago, and I'm still surprised that I can lie down with my legs stretched out :-).

[Alia]

Oh, tax-chick.. I'm so sorry. How old was she? Had she been ill?

In re stretching one's legs out.. I admit, when that happens, it feels like something is missing. Yeah.. the "unmovable blocks" known as beloved pets.

[AnAmericanMother]

The pets around here don't need pregnancy as an excuse -

Big male Siamese on my legs, little Lilac female on my tummy, little Blue female under one arm, Chocolate Lab worming her way up from the foot of the bed . . . husband scrunched up on six inches of the bed as the animals push him out of the way . . . it's a wonder anybody gets any sleep around here.

JAMA should make available Silent Scream for viewing. This work that Dr. Bernard Nathanson was so instrumental in putting together -- is still something for people to watch today. And it is not too-shabby for 1980s technology.
