How do they come to this conclusion?
They obviously can't ask a fetus, "hey, did that hurt?"

I hate to admit it, but I saw this article posted at DU. Here is one sickening response on their thread: 6. What does pain have to do with abortion? We are terminating a pregnancy. Not worrying about some reflexive action.

If they are delivered at 22 weeks and feel pain, why wouldn't they feel pain at 22 weeks in the womb?

Pain is not well understood, but it's clear that animals feel it, although they lack human self consciousness. It's inconceivable to me that fetuses don't feel it as well, at least at the point that they have developed a nervous system, which I believe is pretty early.
One researcher scoffs at the idea that he has a political agenda. Sorry, but just about everyone in academia has a political agenda these days, and there are increasingly fewer and fewer scientists who can be trusted to be objective about controversial issues. The issue that underlies this report, although it remains unmentioned, is, of course, abortion. It would be politically incorrect for pro-aborts to admit that their victims feel pain.

And these people feel nothing.
To: workerbee
So if you anesthetize your victim so he can't feel any pain, it's okay to murder him?
To: workerbee
" While brain structures involved in feeling pain begin forming much earlier,
research indicates they likely do not function until the pregnancy's final stages,
said the report's senior author, UCSF obstetric anesthesiologist Dr. Mark Rosen."
" Likely " is the operative word- no pun intended.
Not " definitely. "
However, expect the lame stream media and the Democrats to report this as the definitive study which finally answers the question.
It also appears that Dr Rosen has found that infants aborted in the last stages of pregnancy- do feel pain.

Fetuses don't feel pain and neither do people on feeding tubes.

Every time I think the anti-life camp has reached bottom they come up with something that lowers their moral compass even further.

The babies try to get away from the needle in the womb.
Sick, sick, sick. Hasn't anyone seen "Silent Scream"?
And even if they didn't feel pain (which is inane - did they ask the dismembered baby?), how does that justify murder?
I am just so sickened over this article, I have no words.
I can't imagine the world in which my children and grandchildren will grow up, if this is what today looks like. I shudder to think about it.
COME, LORD JESUS!

A review of medical evidence has found that fetuses likely don't feel pain until the final months of pregnancy Good. We at least agree that abortion should be stopped in the final months of pregnancy.
Now lets move on to the next point.

This is solid, concrete scientific evidence ?

But it never was about pain. It's about CONVENIENCE.

If the sensitivity of a new born baby (we've had seven) is any indication, a fetus may feel pain far more intensely that another person who has already been born. Why? I guess because the brand new perfectly fed and functioning nervous system has experienced little sensation in the warm, floating, cushioned environment of the womb. The skin is so thin and the distance for the nerve impulses is so small. The rapidly growing brain, having never suffered the deterioration of pollution, a joint, a drink or elementary education, not yet distracted and occupied by the tools and tasks of thought, the inputs of sight or the mechanics of movement can only focus on the sensations of it's cradling surroundings and the assuring muffled sound of the mother's heartbeat. Imagine the agony of being burned and/or suddenly ripped apart while in that condition?!?!?
