Well, even some plants respond to touch, but it takes a functioning brain to process it.

Do you think a newborn or even a few months old newborn "processes" the pain they may feel? They don't even know the hand waving in front of their face belongs to them and they DO have functioning brains. Have you had children or been around babies?

Besides, I thought you said you didn't like anything to suffer. Are you now changing that to mean "suffer and be able to process it"? Because that would mean you are okay with late term abortions. Are you also okay with killing the mentally handicapped or people in comas? Tell me, are you at least teachable on this subject or is your mind already made up?

From the same source:

    Pioneer fetologist Albert Iiley, of the University of Auckland, says that by the fifty-sixth day after conception, the baby's spinal reflexes are sufficiently developed to feel pain. He adds: [3]

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

    Dr. Liley's observation is graphically demonstrated in Dr. Bernard Nathanson's classic film, The Silent Scream, the first widely circulated ultrasound of an actual abortion. [4] It shows a child serenely resting in her mother's womb. Suddenly the child is alarmed because of the intruding abortion device. She moves as far away as she can, trying desperately to save her life. Just before her body is torn to pieces and sucked out through the vacuum tube, her tiny mouth opens in an unheard scream of terror. After the abortion the doctor who performed it was invited to view the ultrasound. He was so upset with what he saw that he left the room. Though he had performed over ten thousand abortions, he never performed another one. [5]
