They Feel Pain Too

"An unborn child has less legal protection from feeling pain
than commercial livestock," says a paper published by the National Right To Life. It quotes from the law:

"In a slaughterhouse, a method of slaughter is deemed legally humane only if 'all animals are rendered insensible to pain by a single blow or gunshot or an electrical, chemical, or other means that is rapid and effective, before being shackled, hoisted, thrown, cast, or cut.' (Section 2 of the Humane Slaughter Act, 7 USC 1902)."

"By contrast, D&E abortions, performed as late as 24 weeks (well after the child begins to feel pain), involve the dismemberment of the unborn child by a pair of sharp metal forceps.(9) Instillation methods of abortion (performed even in the third trimester) involve the replacement of up to one cup of amniotic fluid with a concentrated salt solution, which the unborn child inhales as the salt burns her skin. The child lives in this condition for up to an hour. In neither of these techniques is the unborn child provided with any form of anesthesia.(10-13)"

Help pass the Unborn Child Pain Awareness Act.
