Pro-Life Activism 301 Guidelines
This area is for pro-life activists to discuss issues related to abortion. It is NOT a debate area, and it is not OK for pro-choice activists to post here.
If you deny the baby is actually thinking, then you have to come up with some magical point at which what goes on is now real thinking. This is too much like the magical point of attaining personhood for my way of thinking.
Edited to add the word magical, and the final sentence.
I don't think we could say they have thoughts in the womb. Perceptions are too limited for that. I'd expect they start having rudimentary thought shortly after birth, though it might be a few days or weeks. Newborns figure out pretty quickly that crying gets them attention, though.
