Wisconsin Governor Vetoes Abortion-Pain Bill
Posted on January 8th, 2006
Governor Jim Doyle has vetoed a bill requiring that women seeking abortions after their fifth month of pregnancy be informed that their fetuses could suffer pain.
When a fetus can feel pain is a matter of debate in the medical community. I would hope that we would error on the side of the baby since there is some research that supports the theory that a fetus can feel pain at the 20th week of pregnancy. I guess that Governor Doyle doesn’t agree.
