Well, even according to this paper, much less others cited by pro-life groups, there is clear, undeniable evidence that at least after 26 weeks gestation and probably down to 24, and possibly as low as 18, the baby feels pain.
So we already have such evidence Mr. Hume, but I don't see support for abortion "crumbling" anytime soon.
We truly live in an evil world, and quite frankly an evil country anymore. Where evil is good and good evil. Pray hard, it's our greatest weapon and probably our only one now.
Hume said he looks to science to prove more conclusively that fetuses can feel pain, if possible, from the beginning. That would change everything, he concluded.
I guess he means that the pro-life position would have a more compelling psychological appeal, and not that it's OK to kill people who can't feel pain.
I like to put it to them more pointedly. If it's not a baby, why do they want to kill it?
!
May God bless the faithful souls who freeze in the January icy weather in D.C. every year to witness to the world that the Supreme Court of the United States of America approved the killing of 55 million people, far more than Stalin and Hitler combined.
When the members of this court, and all who support this murder of God’s children, appear before God, the true Supreme Judge, what excuse will they give? Everyone knows the product of conception is a live human being. Giving it the term “fetus” doesn’t change the sin involved in the murder of the unborn.
In fact there have long been videos of babies, in utero, moving to avoid needles and such.
My beautiful wife was born in 1961 and adopted by two loving parents. I am so thankful she too was born before Roe/Wade.
I shudder to think what could have happened and wonder how many beautiful people are not here because of it...

This 30 minute video titled, 180, illustrates that attitudes about abortion can change.
Pay attention to the warnings as some of the video is quite graphic. Please be patient and let the story build to its objective of changing hearts and minds by appealing to mankinds better instincts.
Whenever we hear someone say that it isn’t a baby in a pregnant woman’s womb, we reply - “yeah, I know... IT MUST BE A WOMBAT!”
No flame. The same feelings crossed my mind too for the reasons you've stated.
However, I feel Hume could have picked something else and/or been less passionate. This rings true. If he's trying to dupe conservatives, he should get an Oscar.
Someone else needs to take up the banner and speak the truth about those who most vehemently support abortion -
not the “pro-aborts”, but the “HAD-aborts”.
I think you’ll find that the more vehement someone is about “pro-choice”, the more likely they are to have had an abortion or to have urged someone close to them to have one.
This truth needs the veil ripped right off of it and exposed.
At the same time, deliver the message that there is divine forgiveness for those who are repentant, but nothing but wrath for those who seek to justify themselves.
Oh, I believe that he truly abhors abortion, as any human being should. I am just cynical about why he chooses now to passionately make a case for a conservative principle, after jumping on the bandwagon of bashing “extremist” conservatives.
You have to understand that we have to replace these with legalizing undocumented aliens.Ask John Boenher.
>> The FReeper Foxphobes can no longer can make a valid case in their tirades. <<
I wouldn’t be so sure. The crazies around here who perpetually bash Fox probably aren’t going to be swayed by any amount of logic and factual info.
Amen and amen! Thanks for your great points. Our nation has suffered - even more than most realize - because of this barbaric, life-ending procedure known as “abortion”.
Great point!!!
He’s probably bought the elitist Koolaid that says that someone with strong conservative views can’t get elected.
Thank you Brit, there have been times I began to loose faith in you old man... you’ve redeemed yourself more than you know.
