She added:

“There are other scientific reports that say fetuses cannot feel pain at 20 weeks.”

Shifting the argument, Nash said:

“It flies in the face of Supreme Court holdings.”

Finally noting:

“What’s different about these bans is that they are much earlier than viability, which tends to be between 24 and 28 weeks.”

Notice how Nash cleverly worded that last sentence? She claimed that 20 weeks is “much earlier” than viability, when in fact it’s less than 2 weeks from the youngest baby to date. And Frieda isn’t an isolated case. James Gill also survived after arriving at 21 weeks and 5 days. So, Nash qualified her claim by adding that viability “tends to be” later, which still leaves the false impression that babies don’t survive earlier than 24 to 28 weeks.

And concerning fetal pain, Nash cited “other scientific reports” to defend the Guttmacher Institute’s pro-abortion position. What she conveniently failed to mention is that hundreds of studies confirm the existence of fetal pain by 20 weeks, studies which are based on the biological facts of fetal development, whereas the “other” reports are based on an unproven theory that a fetus can’t experience pain without consciousness.

Note: Guttmacher Institute was founded as a division of Planned Parenthood and is named after former Planned Parenthood President Alan Guttmacher. He was also the VP of the American Eugenics Society.
