Many abortion supporters love to regale me with the fact that the fetus feels no pain until the 24th week. I guess the fully-developed nervous system just magically turns on at 24 weeks.
If it can suffer, it is a human being and deserves every chance to live.
And this is where things get really tricky. This baby (note, I didn't say blob of cells, because I don't believe that he/she is a blob of cells) is probably suffering given the fact that he/she is at nearly 24 weeks, and his/her bottom portions are so malformed that they can't determine if he/she is a boy or a girl.
Granted, this child will never remember the pain inflicted right now -- but why should we feel smug about requiring (by edict) that this child bear what could be torturous pain for all we know, because we think we know better than his/her father, sibling, and maternal grandparents.

What’s wrong with ending the poor thing’s suffering with abortionist tools then? Tear it apart while in the womb, pull the pieces out, reassemble them on a table to make sure you got it all... No problem, right? Better than “feeling smug” about its “torturous pain”, don’t you agree?
There are questions about these allegations that the baby has defornmities-But of course that doesn't matter to you and the rest of the death lobby.
The "judge" said the baby is "nonviable". As noted by other FReepers-no baby is viable at 22 weeks= more twisting, lying BS. The baby can be viable at 24 weeks- hence the rush to kill it.
