Disconnect Between Laws and Science Regarding Fetal Pain

Please note the alarming disconnect between "fetal pain" laws and the actual science.
Science dictates fetuses do not feel pain until somewhere between the 24th and 35th to 27th week.
Yet, fetal pain legislation exists in nine states which bans abortion after 20 weeks!
It is time that the scientific community and state legislatures were on the same page.
