While getting the massage, he started freaking out and kicking really hard, because the therapist was kindly evicting him from his current living situation. The therapist stopped and said, &#8220;Hang on! We gotta calm baby down first.&#8221; The therapist then put some warm towels on me to get Baby B to calm <span class=\"text_exposed_show\">down, and within seconds, he could feel the warmth and instantly settled down. The therapist was then able to gently move him without any stress from the baby. Here is why that situation blew my mind. 1) My therapist put my baby first, making sure he was calm and relaxed before working on me. 2) My baby could feel the warmth of a towel!

While those in the pro-abortion camp attempt to downplay fetal development and possible pain perception, Pierucci wrote:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8230; [A] growing body of scientific research demonstrates that fetal CNS maturation is <em>not<\/em> required for pain perception. In 2016 the <em>Journal of Pain Research<\/em> published a summary of multiple different scientific studies all leading to the conclusion that \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/27881927\">an early form of pain may appear from the 15th week of gestation onward<\/a>.\u201d This early physiologic response \u201cis different than emotional pain felt by the more mature fetus,\u201d but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/17905181\">it is still a form of physical pain<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Pierucci adds that for this reason, anesthesia is used on all preborn babies undergoing surgery:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Importantly, just the physiologic stress alone <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/17905181\">can cause long-term developmental changes<\/a> to an unborn child\u2019s brain, \u201cultimately leading to adverse neurological outcomes\u201d for that unborn child.

A 2002 study, titled, &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1046\/j.1460-9592.2002.00840.x\/full\">Anaesthesia for fetal surgery<\/a>,&#8221; shows that for varying types of fetal surgery, beginning at 18 weeks gestation, children in utero are routinely administered anesthesia. The Charlotte Lozier Institute notes this as well, stating in their well-sourced <a href=\"https:\/\/lozierinstitute.org\/fact-sheet-science-of-fetal-pain\/\">fact sheet on fetal pain<\/a> that, according to at least four cited studies, &#8220;Perinatal medicine now treats unborn babies as young as 16 weeks post-fertilization (18 weeks gestation). Pain medication for unborn patients is routinely administered as standard medical practice.&#8221; Lozier also points out that &#8220;[t]he leading textbook on clinical anesthesia says: &#8216;It is clear that the fetus is capable of mounting a physiochemical stress response to noxious stimuli as early as 18 weeks gestation (16 weeks post-fertilization).'&#8221;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lozierinstitute.org\/fact-sheet-science-of-fetal-pain\/#_edn4\" name=\"_ednref4\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>But the abortion industry, as always, seems to be at odds with science. One counselor at the New Mexico late-term abortion facility Southwestern Women&#8217;s Options was caught in Live Action&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.liveaction.org\/what-we-do\/investigations\/inhuman-late-term-abortion\/\">InHuman<\/a> investigation claiming, &#8220;I don&#8217;t believe so,&#8221; when asked by a prospective patient if her 27-week-old preborn baby would be able to feel a lethal injection into his heart or cranium. &#8220;I don&#8217;t know if it&#8217;s developed enough to feel that,&#8221; the counselor adds. But clearly, the patient&#8217;s baby <em>is<\/em> developed enough and has been able to feel such sensations for weeks already.
