Abortion foes gain on new front

I can hardly call this news because of the liberal slant that USAToday is famous for giving to it's articles, but there is actually a lot of good information here. There's a chance that a fetus might feel pain when it is aborted (No, really?? You mean that having one's brain sucked out might hurt? Who would have guessed?). Some people feel that the mother (or is that a "tissue donor unit"?) might want to know that information before making the final decision to have the baby aborted.

A new front in the debate over abortion is emerging in legislatures across the nation. Abortion foes are gaining ground with proposals to require doctors to tell women seeking abortions that their fetuses might feel pain during the procedure.
State "fetal pain" bills began popping up last year in the wake of other statutes that have drawn attention to the interests of fetuses, including bans on a procedure that its critics call "partial birth" abortion. (Related story: Abortion opponents seek new angle)
Fetal pain bills were introduced in 19 states in 2005, and were passed in Arkansas, Georgia, Minnesota and Wisconsin. The Wisconsin bill was vetoed last month by Democratic Gov. Jim Doyle, who said it failed "to reflect a consensus of medical opinion" and "intrudes on the doctor-patient relationship in a heavy-handed manner." He cited a controversial report in the Journal of the American Medical Association that said there is no conclusive evidence of when a fetus first feels pain.
Despite such questions, more fetal pain bills are advancing this year. Such bills have been passed by House members in Utah and Indiana and are headed to their Senates.
Fetal pain bills also have been introduced this year in Arizona, Iowa, Missouri and Oklahoma. Most would require doctors to tell a woman whose fetus is at 20 weeks or more gestational age that her fetus might feel pain during an abortion.
The bills are the latest attempt by abortion foes to put more restrictions on the procedure and potentially pave the way for the Supreme Court to reverse Roe v. Wade, the 1973 ruling that made abortion legal nationwide. Such a historic reversal is unlikely soon: There are few proposals in state legislatures that would challenge Roe directly, and five of the nine Supreme Court justices have supported abortion rights.

OK USAToday...so what you're saying is, telling woman there is a real chance that aborting her baby will cause it pain before it dies is somehow going to overturn Roe vs. Wade? What planet do you folks live on? Mine is called Earth. What's your's called? Talk about a liberal rant, and in a supposed reliable news source too.
