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!

Abortion Reporting: Utah (2024)

Utah’s 2024 abortion data was published on the state’s new Abortion Dashboard. The state also provided drug-induced abortion data upon request. The data reveals that reported abortions increased from 2023 to 2024. However, Utah’s new Abortion Dashboard excluded several categories of data previously provided to CLI upon request and/or included in the state’s published abortion reports.

Abortion Reporting: Vermont (2024)

Vermont’s 2024 abortion statistics were published online as part of the state’s full vital statistics report in April 2026. The report is available on the Vermont Department of Health website and shows that Vermont abortions decreased in 2024. The data published by the state does not include the total number of abortions obtained by Vermont residents out of state or the number of self-managed abortions on women outside of the healthcare system. It is also unlikely that the report contains the total number of mail-order abortion drugs obtained by Vermont residents prescribed by licensed abortion providers in Vermont and in other states.

The report shows that reported Montana abortions decreased from 2023 to 2024. The data published by the state does not include the total number of abortions obtained by Montana residents out of state or the number of self-managed abortions on women outside of the healthcare system.

New CLI Report: Online Abortion Drug Sellers Violating U.S. Law and FDA Safety Limits

A new Charlotte Lozier Institute (CLI) report discovered many online abortion drug sellers are violating U.S. laws, exceeding FDA safety limits, and selling unapproved and misbranded drugs to U.S. consumers. This blatant disregard for the law was only boosted by the removal of the in-person dispensing requirement in 2021. The report identifies these violations across online sellers operating outside of the U.S. healthcare system as well as the violations committed by online abortion drug sellers operating within the healthcare system.

Science Is Making the Humanity of Unborn Babies Harder to Ignore

Baby Arthur had parvovirus, which was causing his body to fill with fluid. “His organs were failing. His heart was completely enveloped in fluid. It was struggling to pump,” his mother said. “If nothing was done, he would not have made it much longer.”
