First you'll note they dispute the fact fetuses can feel pain at all, because fetuses are not conscious. One questions at what point in the vagina consciousness develops. Inquiring minds want to know.
And my point is that even when the mother's life is in danger is no excuse to not anesthesize the child. Anesthesia for the child has nothing to do with the woman's body. Anesthetic does not cross the placenta from child to mother. The only explanation is we don't want to consider the fact that the child feels pain, whether the mother's life is in danger or not.
