Ah, but we now know that the pre-natal child DOES have sensation.
Just watch “Silent Scream”, depicting a live abortion of a live pre-natal baby.
For the squeamish, you may prefer to watch, “The Miracle of Life”, a PBS production that clearly shows the gestating baby experiencing sensation as early as 12 weeks gestate.
Bingo. An embryonic child responds to sound and pain. There is respiration, bodily motion.
Augustine was wrong here folks. They didn't have Ultrasound in the ancient world. But the evidence is readily available for Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden to see. No excuse for this kind of stuff now.
