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.

New: Women like Emily Waldorf are still denied care during dangerous miscarriages in states with abortion bans. Texas reformed its law in an effort to fix that. Most other states haven't tried. propub.li/3RL3HNw

State-level abortion restrictions are creating substandard medical management of miscarriages, the most common complication in early pregnancy. news.ohsu.edu/2026/05/18/abo…

I am relieved that mifepristone will remain—at least for now—available for women and their care providers to rely on. But a provider’s ability to prescribe safe, effective medication and a woman’s right to make decisions over her body and future should not be up for debate, now or ever. npr.org/2026/05/14/nx-s1-582…

Culture has told women one story about pregnancy for decades. That it is something to fear. That it diminishes them. That their bodies are never the same. That story is not only incomplete, it is contradicted by science. So we sat down with some of the most respected pro-life OB-GYNs in the country and asked them to tell us what they know — what they see in their patients, what the research shows, and what many women are never told. Together, we set out to replace cultural lies with the truth Meet ReThink Pregnancy — a national campaign from @everylife & @aaplog aimed at reshaping how an entire generation understands the beauty and benefits of pregnancy.

Good… but why do we have to suffer under these relentless back-and-forth court decisions? It’s exhausting. Just let women talk to their own doctors and make their own decisions about their own bodies and their own health care.

🚨HUGE WIN! Mail-order abortion drugs have been driving up total abortions in America, killing countless of babies and harming women. This decision will save lives.

New study finds no relationship between abortion bans and maternal mortality
