I am providing this information because some people here don't want to be reminded of how gross abortion is and how cruel and barbaric it is. After all the baby has done nothing to warrant being murdered in the womb. IF THAT IS YOU, GO NO FURTHER.
Abortion was not on my radar until I saw the ultrasound video known as The Silent Scream, a video recorded and filmed by an abortionist during an actual abortion. The baby being aborted was screaming as the forceps grabbed hold of him.
For people who say it is only a blob of cells, I say go and take a long walk off a short pier.
So here is fact number one. Aborted babies feel pain.
1. Pain receptors develop early.
In her testimony before Congress in May of 2012, Dr. Colleen Malloy, MD, a board-certified Neonatologist and Assistant Professor at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, described the following developmental milestones of an unborn child, indicating very early perception of pain:

In her testimony before Congress in May of 2012, Dr. Colleen Malloy, MD, a board-certified Neonatologist and Assistant Professor at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, described the following developmental milestones of an unborn child, indicating very early perception of pain:
- At 8 weeks gestation, facial sensory receptors appear.
- At 14 weeks gestation, sensory fibers grow into the spinal cord, and connections are made with the thalamus (part of the brain).
- Between 13 and 16 weeks gestation, monoamine fibers (nerve cells or fibers) reach the cerebral cortex (another part of the brain).
- Between 17 and 20 weeks gestation, thalamo-cortical relays (pathways to the brain for sensory information) penetrate the cortex.
- No later than 20 weeks gestation, pain receptors are present and linked.
