Fetuses can't feel pain

The British spell it "foetuses"... From BBC:

Foetuses cannot feel pain because it requires mental development that only occurs outside the womb, says a report in the British Medical Journal.

Dr Stuart Derbyshire, of the University of Birmingham, said a baby's actions and relationships with carers enabled it to process the subjectivity of pain.

Pro-life groups say foetuses respond to stimuli from 20 weeks.

Does it really matter if the baby can feel pain? If I choose to kill someone painlessly it is still killing isn't it? Death does not require pain to be death!
