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 Ā½ weeks after conception. The embryo spontaneously moves his arms, hands, and legs, and may even hiccup. The embryoā€™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!

Sex Selection Abortion: A Worldwide and U.S. Problem

Sex selection abortions are playing a role in skewing the male-female sex ratio at birth (SRB) in dozens of countries around the world.Ā  The problem is worst in China and India where provincial and even national birth ratios evince the widespread practice of elimination of baby girls by sex selective methods including abortion, preimplantation sex selection in IVF, and even infanticide.

North Carolina Eugenics Restitution Cut from Budget

For months it has seemed that the recompense due to the victims of the horrific North Carolina Eugenics program was assured.Ā  The measure to award a monetary compensation to these people whose human dignity has been so grossly violated seemed only just and entertained enthusiastic support from North Carolina Governor Bev Perdue, the State House of Representative, and a large number of average North Carolingians.Ā  However, despite the outpouring of support for this measure, the compensation packages were not included in the Senateā€™s budget.

Rise of Repeat Abortions in the UK a Cause for Concern

Ā According to theĀ Telegraph, information from the National Health Service (NHS) shows a significant jump in the number of repeat abortions occurring in England and Wales.Ā  According to the NHS, 36% of all abortions performed in 2011 were performed on women who had already had at least one abortion. That is a total of 68,105 women, which is a 2% increase from 2010 when the number stood at 64,303.Ā  This is theĀ largest jumpĀ in the number of repeat abortions in one year.

Forced Sterilizations Expose Population Control Cruelty

The government of the small central Asian country of Uzbekistan has declared 2012 ā€œThe Year of the Family.ā€Ā  As the Uzbek culture traditionally values the family, marriage, and children above all other things, this proclamation is perfectly in sync with the spirit of the people. Ā The goals of the year are to increase the number of happy families and to strengthen the institution of the family in Uzbekistan.Ā  It is an entirely worthy goal; however, it stands in stark contrast to the startling information that was released this month by the BBC.

The Dark Ladder of Logic: After-Birth Abortion

TheĀ Journal of Medical EthicsĀ (JME) is one of those highly specialized, relatively expensive publications that cater to a targeted group of professionals.Ā  Because these journals are expensive (a print/onlineĀ U.S. annual subscriptionĀ for theĀ JMEĀ is $431) and have such a very specific audience, they are rarely read by laypeople outside the professional circles they are intended to address. Unless such a journal publishes an article online endorsing infanticide.
