The religious nuts don’t actually say that the fertilised egg feels pain. Their contention is that the invisible genocide wizard in the sky imbues it with a magical spirit called a “soul” at the moment of conception. Therefore the fertilised egg must to be protected, or the invisible genocide wizard in the sky gets mad.

Yeah the joke of this comic hinges on an opinion that doesn’t exist
Eh, there’s many types of religious nut, and there’s multiple reasons they believe life/consciousness/etc starts at conception.
All their reasons are wrong, but there’s certainly not just one, and this comic certainly captures some of them.
