Despite the fact that they are born with only a brain stem and no cerebral cortex and despite the fact that they have no capacity for thoughts, feelings or self awareness. Also, recent fetal homicide laws which make it a crime of murder to kill a child in the womb during a criminal act do not require the victim to be able to think or feel pain. ☜FFFACD
