Abortion debate rages on.

A British study by the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists says that a human fetus cannot feel pain before the age of 24 weeks. The new study says that nerve connections in the brain are not sufficiently formed to allow pain perception before then. After 24 weeks, the doctors in the study say there is increasing evidence that the fetus is in a state of "continuous sleep-like unconsciousness or sedation." Is abortion still wrong, if the fetus can't feel pain? Here to debate women's choice to an abortion is Monica Potts from the American Prospect and Dr. Janice Crouse director at Concerned Women for America.
