Dr. David Prentice confirms that unborn babies feel EXCCURCIATING pain during abortions.
David A. Prentice, Ph.D. is the Vice President and Research Director of the Charlotte Lozier Institute.
He is a former biology professor at Indiana State University.
Here's what he says about the pain babies feel during abortions, especially at 20 weeks.
"The science is pretty conclusive at this point.
And there are always going to be people, especially those in favor of abortion, who will say, “Oh that really doesn’t happen, and they’ll throw up a smokescreen. And what they usually do is they refer to an old study back in 2005 that was published actually by people who had associations with Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers."
Dr. Prentice continues:
"But the real science – and there’s some new things in fact, that have come out in the last few months – but the science pretty conclusively demonstrates: Young babies still in the womb at 20 weeks after conception, and probably even earlier, do indeed feel pain, and in fact, may feel more intense pain than a newborn or an adult."
Why do babies feel pain before birth?
"They have a higher density of nerve receptors. Your skin is not very thick at that point, but there is another aspect.
There are certain pathways that sort of tone down pain. If I hit my thumb with a hammer, I’m going to feel it because the pain sensation goes up to my brain, but there is also a return path to try and tone that down. That doesn’t even start to develop until about the time that you’re born, so you don’t get this dampening of the pain.
In fact, there was a study done, reported just a couple weeks ago, where they were looking at pain experience of newborns – just between one and six or seven days old and adults, and the headlines were, “Babies feel pain like adults and they feel it more intensely.”
The study actually looked at regions of the brain associated with pain using very sophisticated technology and comparing not really pain, just sort of like you’d take the end of a pencil and press it against the bottom of this baby’s foot, a little bit of pressure, a little sensation there.
A lot of the babies even slept through this whole procedure, but they were in this functional MRI machine, very sophisticated technology, and then they would do the same thing to adults to see how they responded.
Eighteen of the twenty pain regions lit up in babies, eighteen of the twenty that are the same as adults, and at four times as sensitive. So again, you don’t develop this feedback loop to shut down pain until right about that time, and it takes even several months after birth for it to start to mature.
Now, wind back the clock to five months after conception, you’re a little past halfway through development in moms womb. You don’t even have that feedback loop at all; it’s not starting until months later in your life – and now the pain is very intense. We don’t know exactly how much, but much more intense for the small amount that you might feel as an adult."
Abortions kill babies.
And babies feel pain.
Please RT this truth.
This reality (no price signal) explains the failure of healthcare in America. Not that everyone comparison shops on healthcare decisions, but that NO ONE can - including competitors, employers, and rival insurers.
BREAKING: A new autopsy confirms Planned Parenthood killed a young woman in a botched abortion.
So far, the massive abortion business has faced no accountability for ending her life and the life of her unborn baby.
The unredacted autopsy of 18-year-old Lexi Arguello confirms she died from complications of a second-trimester surgical abortion at a Planned Parenthood facility in Fort Collins, Colorado.
This revelation comes after a year-long legal battle to make the autopsy report public.
Arguello, who was 21 weeks and 6 days pregnant, underwent the abortion on February 6, 2025. The forensic pathologist determined she developed disseminated intravascular coagulation — a catastrophic clotting disorder — after the abortion, leading to cardiovascular collapse and multi-organ failure.
The report identified “probable amniotic fluid embolism” as a significant contributing condition.
The pro-life groups Operation Rescue and Life Legal Defense Foundation requested the autopsy less than two weeks after Arguello’s death. They initially received only a heavily redacted copy that blacked out information related to the abortion and possible complications.
Working with Colorado attorney Tim Goddard, the groups prepared to file suit against the coroner for misinterpreting multiple laws and regulations to withhold public information about Lexi’s cause of death.
Yet, after Larimer County Coroner Stephen Hanks moved to keep the document heavily redacted, a district court judge ordered its full release on April 27. After further analysis, the autopsy report has been released today publicly for the first time.
Troy Newman, president of Operation Rescue, told LifeNews that the autopsy clearly exposes Planned Parenthood’s wrongdoing.
“This autopsy is one of the few public documents that can expose Planned Parenthood for wrongdoing in the tragic death of Lexi Arguello,” Newman said. “It’s also a document that can prove just how dangerous unregulated and unlicensed Colorado abortion clinics have become. Women are dying and state officials are looking the other way.”
Newman criticized the coroner’s reasoning for trying to withhold details in an attempt to not cast abortion in a negative light.
“The Coroner fully understood that women might not enter an abortion clinic when they know the staff have injured or even killed a patient,” he said. “Only, instead of believing women deserve all the facts when choosing where they go for healthcare, Mr. Hanks thought it better they be kept in the dark and the truth about Lexi’s death kept under wraps. This is how abortion radicals keep abortion in business – by constantly hiding the truth.”
Alexandra Snyder, CEO of Life Legal Defense Foundation, called the initial redactions an attempt to protect the abortion industry.
“This was not a narrow privacy redaction,” Snyder said. “Colorado officials concealed medical findings and Lexi’s official cause of death from the public to shield a politically favored industry from scrutiny.”
Snyder added: “Lexi’s death highlights the dangerous lack of oversight surrounding Colorado’s abortion industry. The public has a right to know what happens inside Planned Parenthood, especially when taxpayer-funded abortion providers continue fighting common-sense safety standards.”
Operation Rescue said it spent more than a year investigating Arguello’s death, gathering records and conducting interviews. The group believes Planned Parenthood failed her in numerous ways, including by delaying emergency care that may have saved her life.
Newman concluded: “We also suspect Planned Parenthood led family members to believe Lexi’s death was unavoidable. We encourage the family to reach out to a malpractice attorney. If needed, Operation Rescue is always willing to put family members in touch with legal help.”
Thomas Massie has supported me -- and stuck with me -- from the very beginning.
I will NOT turn my back on him.
If that offends you, change your tampon!!!
There isn't a stronger Second Amendment champion in Congress than @RepThomasMassie
✅ Chairs the House Second Amendment Caucus
✅ Introduced the Real National Constitutional Carry Act
✅ Authored legislation to repeal federal gun-free school zones
✅ Passed a bill demanding NICS transparency through the House
✅ Fought back against bills that would spy on gun owners
✅ Sponsored legislation to lower the handgun purchase age to 18
✅ Has NEVER cast a single anti-Second Amendment vote
While many Republicans talk a good game, they seldom put their money where their mouth is.
If every Republican in Congress cared about our Second Amendment rights like Thomas Massie does, they wouldn't just be defended, they'd be expanded.
