Seems like we're delving into semantics. Pain is pain and the level in which it is felt is up to the individual. You have no idea the level of pain felt by an 8 week old.
Of course it's semantics. When someone chooses to use a word in an appeal to emotion, semantics is always going to come into play. And you're exactly correct that I don't know the level of pain of an 8 week old, or fetus at 8 weeks of development (two different things after all). But that is the point here. That is not known, so continuing to state that they feel excruciating pain with no actual evidence to back it up shouldn't be going on. That has been my point all along. Brad has been misrepresenting the information by stating that.

Nope. What they do is they don't renew a contract when an instructor gets pregnant.
