Nathanson, MD, says. (William) At just 6 weeks, an unborn baby can react to touch. The Endowment for Human Development states “A light touch to the mouth area causes the embryo to reflexively withdraw its head.” If a baby can feel just a slight touch to the mouth then they can feel the sharp-pointed instruments that are used to perform an abortion.
