Fetal Pain Legislation: Is It Viable?, Teresa Stanton Collett Apr 2012

Fetal Pain Legislation: Is It Viable?, Teresa Stanton Collett

Pepperdine Law Review

Whether a human fetus experiences pain during an abortion has been the subject of heated debate within medical, legal, and political circles for over two decades. In the 1980's President Reagan's statement that "when the lives of the unborn are snuffed out [by abortion], they often feel pain, pain that is long and agonizing," and the release of a controversial film entitled "The Silent Scream" were merely two of the events that kept this issue in public view.
