" «Il feto does not suffer if you are less than twenty-four weeks, therefore there is no reason why the abortion limit to be lowered. " It is the conclusion arrived at by the gynecologists and obstetricians in Britain after a study by the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists who now throws dust on the hopes of the anti-abortion lobby that is trying for years to reduce the limit of 24 weeks gestation abortion as established by the Act of 1967. "Unfortunately - says Josephine Quintavalle of Comment on Reproductive Ethics - This report highlights the fact that the RCOG condone abortions in late pregnancy and ignores the reality of scientific and ethical issues involved in a termination in a state of gestation so advanced. "
The concerns are well founded in fact and also confirmed yesterday by the reaction of the office of prime minister in Downing Street. "The position of prime minister - said a spokesman - is that you will be guided by science and there are currently no plans to change the law." The last time the act was challenged in parliament by a vote in 2008, MEPs rejected the proposal to reduce the limit and then the debate has been weakening. The study of the RCOG tensions threaten to resume arguing that nerve connections in the brain in utero are not yet sufficiently trained to allow the perception of pain before of 24 weeks.
And even after the 24th week, the doctors say, the fetus is in a state of "constant unconsciousness, as if it were asleep or sedated." The study was commissioned by the government at the request of anti-abortion groups who argue that the fetus feels pain at 20 weeks already and it is therefore necessary to lower the official limit. Experts were also asked to define a second report what is a "serious handicap", which is the technical and legal reasons for which you can legally have an abortion after the 24th week (one per cent of all abortions in Britain takes over this period) but the RCOG did not want to produce a list of conditions because, wrote in the report, "you can not predict the long-term impact of an abnormality."

course as the British are pretty good at hypocrisy ..
can not be justified / condemned abortion on the grounds evidence that the fetus or no pain .. Abortion kills a creature that has a unique chance to be born, it's impossible to come into the world regardless of whether you feel pain or not ..
I really liked (in an ironic sense of course) the declaration of Physicians of the RCOG, " E anche dopo la 24esima settimana, dicono i medici, il feto è in uno stato di «costante incoscienza, come se dormisse o fosse sedato» ".. Allora se è lecito uccidere un essere sedato o dormiente, perchè è illegare uccidere una persona che dorme?
