Wish I could see the footage of the fetus smiling.
Where does it exist?

I had a prolife psychology teacher. She had mentioned this before. Music can have a great effect on developing children in the womb.

Music can have a great effect on developing children in the womb.

1) Obama says that whether this is a child or not is a question that is above his paygrade.

2) Since it is above his paygrade, he'd rather not play it safe and allow the child, even AFTER it survives an abortion, to die.

3) Most Americans voted for him and a lot of them voted for him KNOWING that he supports this policy.

What does this tell us regarding the kind of people we've become?

Not to throw cold water, but babies don’t smile about anything until they are 8-12 weeks old. They might make a smile like face when they have gas. As sweet as it is to imagine, I don’t think a baby is more apt to smile because it is pleased before birth than in the two months after birth.

I could be wrong. It happens.

So, is your point that if you were to take a fetus and slowly start crushing its feet, then removing its legs, then its arms, and then crush its body before finally crushing its head, it would feel no pain?

Here's the website to the PBS series referenced.

If there's a video clip of this segment, they've hidden it well. I see several references to fetus' being able to hear, but no reference to the smile...

There are many babies who smile earlier than 2 months (and it's not just gas. :).

Also consider this possibility - according to this documentary, they have been seen moving to music as well, which they would not be able to do after birth for a number of months. It's possible that in their watery environment it's easier to move and respond and they have to adapt to the air after birth.

Just some thoughts....

Yeah please, link and a warning buddy. That kind of stuff is very hard to look at. I can’t stand to see kids hurt.
