Babies feel pain before the 24 week abortion limit

from here (daily Telegraph)

Babies in the womb can feel pain from an early stage of development, according to research by the world's leading expert on foetal pain.

Prof Sunny Anand of the University of Arkansas will present his report into foetal pain to MPs discussing changes to abortion law on Monday night.

His research concludes that the part of a baby's brain that can feel pain develops before the legal abortion limit of 24 weeks.

It is the first time the abortion laws will have been reviewed in the Commons for nearly two decades.

Prof Stewart Campbell is also on the panel. He pioneered the use of 4D screening, which produces striking images of a baby in the womb.

Nadine Dorries, the Conservative backbencher and former nurse, will chair the meeting.

She wants to introduce an amendment to the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill that proposes lowering the abortion limit. The Bill comes back before the Lords on Monday night.

The Bill goes to the Commons soon after the Easter recess, when MPs will vote on the abortion laws for the first time since the upper limit was reduced from 28 weeks in 1990.

Last year, MPs on the Commons Science and Technology Committee investigated whether the upper limit should be reduced.

They ruled there was no scientific basis for a change in the law, but pro-life MPs attacked the recommendations.

Mrs Dorries and another Tory MP brought out a minority report that advocated cutting the time limit and tightening the law.

Mrs Dorries said: "It is no secret that I was extremely unhappy with the Science and Technology Committee report into reducing the upper time limit, not least because the overwhelming majority of people called to give evidence were from the pro-abortion lobby and pro-abortion MPs on the committee influenced the outcome of the report.

"A minority report was produced in which I highlighted my concerns. However, MPs who wish to facilitate easier access to abortion will use the main report to influence the opinion of other MPs during the debate.

"The purpose of the discussion is to give people like Prof Anand, whose research was disregarded by the committee, a platform from which they can present the other side of the argument to MPs, the press, and the rest of society, including the 72 per cent of the general public who agree that 24 weeks is too late."

The Bill is already causing a dilemma for several Catholic Cabinet ministers, at least one of whom has privately spoken to Geoff Hoon, the Chief Whip, to lobby for a free vote.

Ruth Kelly the Transport Secretary, Des Browne, the Defence Secretary, and Paul Murphy, the Welsh Secretary, are among those who insist the ethical issues raised in the Bill mean it cannot be treated as a party political matter.

Among the aspects they are uncomfortable with are plans to permit the creation of human/animal embryos for research and proposals which would allow IVF babies to be born without a legal father.

Government legislation is usually subject to a strict party whip, meaning members of the Government who vote against the official line are open to disciplinary action.

Mr Hoon is said to be considering a compromise by allowing Catholic MPs to take a leave of absence from the Commons during controversial votes.

A friend of Ms Kelly told The Observer: "He told her that MPs who had difficulties with their conscience should just not be around when the voting took place."

I say I say I say.. when is a child not a child?

When the child is aborted? NOT a joke.

You don't have to go far in the UK to find posters like these. Yet a child like this can be aborted in one part of the hospital and the other you will see posters trying to protect the unborn "CHILD" to quote their posters.


Why advertise the dangers of harming your baby with a cigarette? surely its worse to crush a baby or poison it and put it in the bin?

Does it not worry you that the country has no morallity left?

Regarding the use of alcohol during pregnancy, the NHS website states (http://units.nhs.uk/pregnancy.html)

--------------------------------------------

When you drink, alcohol passes from your blood, through the placenta, to your baby. A baby's liver is one of the last organs to develop fully and does not mature until the latter half of pregnancy. Therefore, your baby cannot process alcohol as well as you can, and is exposed to greater amounts of alcohol for longer periods of time.

Alcohol isn't just dangerous for the baby in the first three months. If you drink heavily during pregnancy, a particular group of problems could develop, known as Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS). Children with FAS have:

* Restricted growth
* Facial abnormalities
* Life-long learning and behavioural disorders

Regular on-going drinking in pregnancy above the recommended levels, as well as binge drinking, may still be associated with lesser forms of the full FAS, referred to as Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder.

It may be that you weren't deliberately trying for a baby, but have conceived by accident. If this has happened to you, stop drinking altogether as soon as you find out you are pregnant - or if you do drink reduce your alcohol consumption to no more than 1-2 units once or twice a week - and talk to your GP or midwife.

--------------------------------------------

If they started to abort children using guns, would this make abortion immoral perhaps? I mean honestly, how come they can't join the dots between point A (all the warnings of how such things will effect your unborn BABY) and point B, the thousands of babies being murdered every day in the same buildings!

The website goes further to say:

--------------------------------------------

The risks of heavy drinking during pregnancy
First trimester (months 0-3):

* Damage to developing organs and nervous system, resulting in later mental and physical problems
* Major structural abnormalities
* Spontaneous miscarriage

Second trimester (months 3-6):

* Continued risk of damage to the central nervous system
* Continued risk of miscarriage

Third trimester (months 6-9):

* Disruption to general growth and development
* Dulled mental abilities
* Minor abnormalities
* Low birth-weight

--------------------------------------------

The website then later goes on to provide services for the pregnant mother to help them stop drinking / cut down. How about some money going to help prevent those mothers from aborting their children? Where are the posters showing the harm that abortion does to their baby?
