They aren't sure if it can feel pain before 18 - 20 weeks, but they are sure that it can't before then.
I know the pics evoke a lot of emotion, even from early on in the pregnancy. But, that's the reality.

I don't like abortion emotionally, but I understand it and support a woman's right to choose it up until viability or fetal pain capacity.

It's an intellectual position for me, not an emotional one.
