"That website is pretty much bogus . A fetus does not even have lungs in the sense we know them until it takes its first breath of air . I do n't know about the 50 % stat ... the earliest it can possibly survive is about the 24 week mark , so that sounds overblown . The eyelids are fused at the 18 week point and do n't open until 28 weeks There is little evidence that a fetus can `` feel `` pain . Regular wakefulness and sleep patterns , as well as continuous brain waves appear around 28 weeks , which is an indication of conciousness . Conciousness would be a requirement to experience pain . Since 24 weeks is the start of the 3rd trimester , and 80-90 % of abortions occur before this point ( I 've hear 96 % as well ) , pain really is n't a problem for abortions . The fetus has never achieved conciousness , let alone has known anything ."
"So you are saying that people who do n't know anything should be killed ? That b/c it has n't achieved consciousness you should kill it ?"
