Fuel to the fire, I guess. However, it is mainly the law that they talk about in the article that I wanted to discuss.

If the science says that a fetus does not feel pain until after the 30th week, is it ethical for doctors to tell women that it feels pain after the 22nd week?

Without a cerebral cortex the fetus wouldn’t be able to process pain.
