In the last days before the upcoming referendum on repealing the 8th Amendment that would bring abortion on demand to Ireland, many have pointed to the advances in scientific research of development of the pre-born human being.
Dr. David A. Prentice, Ph.D., Vice President and Research Director of the Charlotte Lozier Institute discovered that pre-born babies feel an even more intense feeling of pain than post-born babies as higher density of nerve receptors.
The leading clinical anaesthesia textbook stresses that unborn babies can feel pain at 16 weeks and it is critical that they be administered their own pain relief and not just the mother in times of surgical operations.
The neural tracks for sensation, which enable the feeling of pain are fully developed and formed by the time the unborn baby is 20 weeks old.
The government plan to introduce abortion on general mental health grounds up to 6 months should the 8th amendment be repealed and on vague health grounds up to birth.
Most abortions after the second trimester involvement the dismemberment of the living, unborn baby without anaesthetic.
In 2015 the United States House of Representatives passed the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act after it was scientifically confirmed that Unborn Children Feel Excruciating Pain During Abortions.
These facts have been well known for quite some time as surgeons administer anaesthetic directly to unborn babies when there is cause for a foetal operation and not just to the mother.
These discoveries have caused many scientists and doctors to label the practice of human abortion inhuman.
