Call me callous, but I see a pharmaceutical solution to the "what about the pain the fetus might feel?" argument. That comports with my "necessary evil" stance on the matter. The process is ugly, but the alternative is far uglier. For all you "hey, she had sex, its her problem" folks, this is the other side of your "tough love" sword. If its tough love for the women, its tough love for the fetuses. Everyone's gotta be responsible, right? Life isn't fair, right? That she happened to be a woman is her tough luck. Well, that it happened to be a fetus in the wrong woman at the wrong time is the fetus' tough luck.
