"Researchers remained unsure into the 1980s as to whether animals experience pain, and veterinarians trained in the U.S. before 1989 were simply taught to ignore animal pain"

You seem convinced that the fetus can't feel pain. My point, which should have been obvious, is that you shouldn't be so sure. Scientists aren't infallible

Didn't know the ability to feel pain was the delineating factor on whether one's life has worth...

"no woman is obligated to continue a pregnancy that she doesn't want to continue"
You know, there's a real easy, non-baby-killing way to prevent pregnancy. Can you guess what it is?
Nah it's pretty simple - it's just killing babies. After a girl's raped, sure I won't get upset that she wants to get rid of it. For every other situation it's REALLY hard to justify. When the government spends taxpayer money on it, it's IMPOSSIBLE to justify

I don't like abortion, but if the woman's life is at risk from continuing the pregnancy, I would not condemn her for aborting it before the third trimester. I believe the gods would understand, too.

How often do you think that's the reason? This is an older source, but it suggests that around 7.5% of abortions are from rape/health reasons. How do you defend the remaining 92.5%?
Hard to justify? Banning abortion means unwanted uncared for babies. Really hard to justify that were aren't forcing the mother to have more mouths to feed. People are dumb. They shouldn't be forced not to abort

I'm not saying it should be banned - it's hard to justify, but not impossible. I'm definitely saying government shouldn't being paying for it except for those rare extreme cases of rape/health concerns
It is paid for with the rest of our discounted healthcare right? And it has its benefits. Population control, less on welfare. Babies from parents who wanted an abortion are more likely to be on welfare. I couldn't justify it for a daughter of mine, but I have lower standards for others.

You can't just kill your problems. I know several people who were adopted - all of them are very happy that their mom chose life. The left is more than happy to give welfare to illegal aliens. Why is it so hard to show the same love towards an American baby? You sound like a Eugenicist. "If we subsidize abortions we'll have less poor people!" Glad you reserve high standards for your immediate family, but double standards aren't so virtuous.
