Scientists Know Unborn Babies Feel Pain in Abortions, Will Congress Listen?Infant pain capability is now so well established and studied that the specialty of pediatric anesthesiology has evolved to help tiny babies tolerate surgical interventions.
Consider how mainstream medicine acknowledges that newborns (including preemies) feel pain: circumcisions are now routinely performed after topical numbing and the World Health Organization recommends pain relief for the mandatory “heel sticks” drawing the child’s blood after delivery. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/06/07/scientists-know-unborn-babies-feel-pain-in-abortions-will-congress-listen/
Planned Parenthood Has More African-American Blood on Its Hands Than the KKKJuxtaposing the things that do and don’t offend pro-aborts never ceases to sicken. It recently came to light that E.W. Jackson, the Republican candidate for lieutenant governor of Virginia, once said the following:
It is time to end the slavish devotion to the Democrat party. They have insulted us, used us, and manipulated us. They have saturated the black community with ridiculous lies[.] … The Democrat party has created an unholy alliance between certain so-called civil rights leaders and Planned Parenthood, which has killed unborn black babies by the tens of millions. Planned Parenthood has been far more lethal to black lives than the KKK ever was. And the Democrat party and their black civil rights allies are partners in this genocide. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/06/07/planned-parenthood-has-more-african-american-blood-on-its-hands-than-the-kkk/
