You have no idea what you would do because you are not in that position. I had friends that were very very pro life and she got pregnant because they weren't being careful and they ran out and got an abortion because they weren't ready for children. You hate all religions, but Christianity? I do not share your beliefs as well as a lot of oter people don't so why should we be forced to follow your "God's" bible as the word we should live by!?

I have heard of storys where doctors and nurses have actually 'heard' babies scream during an abortion.

Yeah...and lobsters "scream" when you throw them in boiling Water, but I bet you enjoy eatin it! The woman screams as she's being raped...as she's dying from giving birth...as she cries to her therapists because her daddy got her pregnant...as the 13 year old cries because he said he loved her...and then he left...Those are later term abortions...most of the abortions are done during the 1st trimester...a lot right after finding out (6-8 weeks).

None of these sites are pro or anti...they are just doctors and scientists...

. . . and they don't reach a consensus. All have different opinions. Which is why I say, WE DO NOT KNOW!!! It could be at 8 or 9 weeks as the one article I posted believes, it could be at 20 weeks as one of your articles believes, or it could be at some other time. One of the articles you posted even said it's sometime after birth (do you really believe that could be the case)?

Do we really want to say it's ok to kill people because we think they're not going to feel it?

No he said the body feels it around 26 weeks, but the mind doesn't feel it until after birth. You know how bad that thought must make women who have had misscarriages feel...So is the baby in pain when your "God" is aborting it?

A fetus is not yet a person! It is a fetus!

Fetus is the name for a stage of a person's life, just like adolescent and teenager are names for stages. They identify a period of life. It is not a different species. Fetuses do not become human beings any more than toddlers become human beings. They both are human beings.

Did you read the whole thing because this is what it said in the conclusion: "...recent studies have shown that the fetus most certainly does feel pain by the end the second trimester, when late-term and partial birth abortions are performed."

One of the links you posted says:

Dr. Derbyshire argues that the mind only starts to develop after the baby is born, as a consequence of the infants' interaction with the outside world and people around him/her.

Even though the biological development to support pain experience may be ongoing inside the womb, it is only the environment after birth, so needed for pain experience to develop, that needs to happen. Therefore, a fetus, who is still in the womb, cannot experience pain.

Derbyshire said that his study is not looking at whether abortion is right or wrong. He says he is arguing against the use of painkillers during an abortion.

As have I. After a certain stage of development, the only thing keeping a baby from vocalizing is the fact that he or she is surrounded by amniotic Fluid. There have been accounts of air bubbles entering the womb during an abortion, positioning over the baby's mouth, and the baby screaming as the abortion is being performed.

but in it he said that the fetus may physically recognize pain, but that their mind doesn't process it as pain...I'm not saying I believe in everything he said...or that I believe in all the articles...but that most of the articles that are posted by people that are neither pro or anti they say the pain doesn't start until around the 20th month!

If that is the case then you would still hear their muffled screams...just like if you were to scream under water...

Lobsters are not human beings.

Unfortunately, life has the potential to be full of some horrible things. There is evil in the world -- no doubt. There is suffering beyond that which most people can imagine.

Killing people does not solve anything.

How can a body feel pain but a mind can't? That's ludicrous. If your mind can't process pain, you don't feel it.

Miscarriages are not generally violent dismemberments, acid burning, stabbing at the base of the neck, etc. They are generally a natural death. Is there pain involved? I don't know.

Why would a mother who's had a miscarriage feel any worse than a mother who's had an abortion? (this is a rhetorical question -- to make you think.) The fate of the baby is the same. The only difference is whether the mother "wanted" the baby or not. How horrible a distinction is that? If I want you, you are valued and you get to live. If not, you end up in the trash.

Very possibly, if you put an amplification system in there. The uterine wall, fat, and skin of the belly muffle a lot.

I didn't say I agreed with the person who said that...it was just an example! Not all abortions are dismemberments...you are talking about later term abortions and abortions performed in the 2nd tri as I said before most abortions occur in the 1st tri.

All of these situations are very sad -- I am absolutely not denying that. But we shouldn't kill people so other people don't get teased.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
