Painkillers for aborted babies?

They will oppose it saying that is presupposes that the ~~baby~~ fetus is a person capable of feeling pain and therefore redefines personhood, putting at risk the right of a ~~mother~~ woman to ~~murder her own children~~ control her own body.

That is the logic they would like to use but they will be loathe to use it. Doctors will step up to testify that it is no presupposition at all that a fetus feels pain. It won't be necessary to argue that the fetus is a person; its status as a living being feeling the excrutiation of dismemberment will have been firmly established.

Attack the libs where they live; in their FEELINGS.

Or she will be told that it is for HER comfort, and not the baby's.

One of my first thoughts upon reading this article was "OK, as long as the law says the mother must be informed of what it is and what it is for." But that doesn't matter. It is not the individual having the abortion being forced to face reality that will change our law. It is the mass of voters, the public, who will see this face to face as this legislation is debated and if enacted will become the basis for similar legislation and debate in every State.

Painkillers for aborted babies?

Gee and we were told by the purveyors of death that unborn children had no feelings -- that they are not real people, which is why a similar bill was voted down in California a couple of years ago. Even though in animal abortions, an anesthetic is given in late term, the predominately Democratic legislature in California voted it down. Better for human beings to suffer pain than animals.

And why do you suppose they did that? Well, it would mean that unborn children have feelings and they are not just a lump of tissue.

Maybe now, the bill will pass in Virginia, a much more conservative state and it will make people think -- hey, we ARE killing 1.4 million people every year.

You can bet your bottom dollar that practically all the Democrats will oppose the bill, since they are beholding to the the billion dollar abortion industry for contributions, plus they think that by condoning the killing of
unborn children, they will garner more votes. This will come back to haunt them as this "Party of Death" is slowly but surely losing all of its religious people.
I'm not talking about the people who go to church once a year. I am talking about people who truly and way down deep in their heart, know there is a GOD who will judge us all on our short stay in this world.

A CA legislator introduced a Fetal Pain bill a few years back, but (shock!) the state that elected Barbara "it's not a baby until it leaves the hospital" Boxer didn't pass the bill. I hear the pro-lifers might give it another try this year. I'm guessing Virginia will a have an easier time of it.
