The "breaths' are therefore impossible, and the "quick" movements look more like muscle contractions.

One amazing scan was taken whilst an abortion was carried out teh fetus was crying when the instrument was struck. Although we can only speculate, but when a life is concerned i think the worst should be considered. Well you cannot be sure whether the fetus is crying because it is reflexing or hurting.

I do think, though, that the point still stands that the baby is responding to a stimulus, and this should be taken into account if an abortion so late is to be performed. I know it's a mistake, but I find it interesting that you refer to a fetus as a "who" instead of a "what." ;) Yes I agree with you re: it potentially not being pain.

I agree with you that it potentially raises lots of ethical issues regarding the *possibility* of pain, but babies cry all the time for reasons not relating to pain and I wouldn't necessarily expect anything different from a fetus who could cry.
