If we asked a doctor what he thought about me drugging and raping baloney_detector [another poster] he would surely say in his clinical judgement no medical harm was done.
I am saying that we SHOULD provide pain relief as a matter of course to foetuses but this will not eliminate the moral issue.

Isn't it nice how people with no understanding of science or medicine always try to tell everyone what people who are trained in science and medicine would tell people?
Well then, let's drug you and have some of the boys rape you. After all, I'm sure no medical harm would be done.

Why do you have to provide a "thing" that doesn't feel anything with pain relief?
Maybe not so fundie after all. Still arguing abortion is wrong but keypointist is actually saying that even though baloney_detector would not suffer 'medical harm' if they were unconscious while being raped (I think that is mistaken but let's leave it for now), this would not undo the fact that rape is a moral wrong. keypointist is trying to say that, similarly, providing pain relief to a fetus before abortion does not undo the moral wrong (keypointist sees it) of aborting it.
I think abortion is wrong, but if you must then at least be humane about it.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
