Did You Know ?

Did You Know ?

In the fourth week, the embryonic heart starts beating. The neural tube, which becomes the brain and spinal cord, forms. At this point, a woman has likely only been aware of her pregnancy for one week.

Did You Know ?

In the seventh week after conception, networks of neurons produce brain waves that have been recorded as early as 6 ½ weeks after conception. The embryo spontaneously moves his arms, hands, and legs, and may even hiccup. The embryo’s heart now has all four chambers.

Did You Know ?

By the seventeenth and eighteenth week after gestation, the fetus shows a clear response to pain in multiple studies, and at least one brain pathway is mature enough to create a perception of pain. The fetus also practices breathing, crying, and breastfeeding in the womb. The fetal heart has beat over 20 million times and circulates about 55 quarts of blood per day.

Did You Know ?

In the eighth month of pregnancy the fetal brain is ready to learn! At 32 weeks after conception, neurons are creating 40,000 new connections, called synapses, every second! With repeated exposures, the fetus can learn flavors, nursery rhymes, songs, and even words that she will recognize after birth!

Fact Sheet: Third Trimester Abortion and “Abortion Up to Birth”

While many abortion centers only perform abortions in early pregnancy, there are several abortion centers that advertise abortions in the third trimester for any reason. Although media coverage tends to focus on third trimester abortions performed because the unborn baby has a serious health condition or a threat exists to the mother’s life, research shows that many third trimester abortions are performed for the same reasons unrelated to serious maternal or fetal health concerns as earlier abortions

First Pregnancy Abortion or Natural Pregnancy Loss: A Cohort Study of Mental Health Services Utilization

While both induced abortion and natural pregnancy loss have been associated with subsequent mental health problems, population-based studies directly comparing these two pregnancy outcomes are rare. This study compared mental health morbidity after an induced abortion to natural loss. Only the abortion cohort experienced significant increases in mental health services use following the first pregnancy outcome.

Is Induced Abortion Health Care?

Although induced abortion is often referenced as health care, a critical examination shows that there is little objective evidence that this statement is true.

Fact Check: Lozier Institute Sets the Record Straight on Evidence-Based Research

Recently, CLI scholars Dr. James Studnicki and Dr. Ingrid Skop dug into the question of whether induced abortion can be considered healthcare that is “evidence-based” in their peer-reviewed paper, “Is Induced Abortion Evidence-Based Medical Practice?” A recent report on the paper by States Newsroom sadly misses the mark and echoes many false claims frequently cited by the abortion industry.
