Study Denying Fetal Pain Lacks Scientific Basis

A new study from members of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists lacks a strong scientific basis and ignores the evidence supplies in several previous studies supplied by leading researchers in the field, say pro-life groups who are criticizing the new report. Mary Spaulding Balch, a National Right to Life attorney who has overseen the development of legislation in the Unite States informing women of the pain unborn children experience in an abortion, said most scientific research says the pain exists. "An objective expert in neurobiology would be appalled by the stunning lack of scholarship in the RCOG article," she said. LifeNews
