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!

A Fact-Free Campaign Against Parents and Unborn Children in Alabama

Recently, Alabama passed a new law that grants immunity from both civil and criminal liability to IVF clinics for destroying human embryos, without parents’ consent and for any reason. This came in the wake of the Alabama supreme court ruling that parents can file suit when, without their consent and against their interests, a medical facility causes the death one or more of their frozen embryos. In this On Point, Richard Doerflinger clarifies the facts of the case and Alabama law, as well as countering misinformation.

Fact of Life: American Cars (and Their Drivers) Exhibit Decidedly More Pro-life than Pro-choice Views

If you have spent any time on American roads in the past decade, you have likely noticed cars with pro-life license plates sharing the road with you. Pro-life license plates are currently available in the District of Columbia and 34 states. Curiously, there is a notable absence of “pro-choice” license plates on the road.

Why We Need Federal Limits on Late Abortion to Protect Both Mother and Child

Most on the left vehemently oppose any legislative limits on abortion, and some on the right, even if they identify as pro-life, are of the opinion that a federal limit on late abortions would fail to find consensus and so could not be passed.

Abortion “Shield Laws”: Pro-Abortion States Seek to Force Abortion on Life-Affirming States
