New York Times Falsely Claims Fetal Pain is a Fake Medical Theory
Yes, in the world of liberal make-believe, Benghazi and the IRS targeting of
conservatives are "phony" scandals; and now the New York Times has graciously
informed us that pre-born children being ripped from the womb don't really feel
pain...

(Life News) In his August 2 article, Theory On Pain Is Driving Rules For
Abortion, New York Times’s Erik Eckholm set about to critique how the “theory”
of fetal pain is driving a push by pro-lifers for state laws tightening up
abortion restrictions. Yet, in trying to convince readers that “fetal pain” is a
fringe medical theory, he failed to cite any mainstream medical journal that
explicitly rules out the probability that unborn children feel pain in the womb. “[M]ost scientists and medical associations say that perception of pain is impossible without brain developments that occur well after 20 weeks,” Eckholm insisted, overlooking a 1999 British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology study finding: The most important evidence [of fetal pain] is anatomical. For the fetus to feel pain, it is necessary for the requisite nociceptive pathways to be developed. This involves neural connections between peripheral receptors and the spinal cord, upward transmission via the spinal cord to the thalamus, and from there to the outer cerebral layers. |
