What if the baby has no chance of surviving and is suffering now?
I thought a “blob of cells” couldn’t suffer.
Many abortion supporters love to regale me with the “fact” that the “fetus” feels no pain until the 24th week. I guess the fully-developed nervous system just magically turns on at 24 weeks.
If it can suffer, it is a human being and deserves every chance to live.

What if “it” is suffering??
What if you are?
The answer to a “what if” should not be “KILL HIM!!!!!!”

And this is where things get really tricky. This baby (note, I didn't say blob of cells, because I don't believe that he/she is a blob of cells) is probably suffering given the fact that he/she is at nearly 24 weeks, and his/her bottom portions are so malformed that they can't determine if he/she is a boy or a girl.
Granted, this child will never remember the pain inflicted right now -- but why should we feel smug about requiring (by edict) that this child bear what could be torturous pain for all we know, because we think we know better than his/her father, sibling, and maternal grandparents.
