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!

Primer: The Basic Biochemistry of Abortion Pill Reversal

This primer lays out the science behind Abortion Pill Reversal by examining the function of progesterone as a naturally occurring hormone in the female reproductive system, the functions of mifepristone and misoprostol as drugs used in drug-induced abortion, the basic biochemical principle of competitive inhibition, and the disinformation surrounding the role of progesterone in reversing the abortion drug.

Gestational Limits on Abortion in the United States Compared to International Norms (April 2024)

This report compares gestational limits on abortion in the U.S. with limits in other countries and serves as an update to CLI's original 2014 study. Of 193 U.N. countries, the U.S. is one of eight countries that allows, at the federal level, abortion on demand without any gestational limits. The U.S. is also one of only 15 countries in the U.N. that permit abortion on demand past 15 weeks of gestation, meaning its abortion law is far more permissive than the vast majority of the world.

Fact Check: “Abortion is 14 Times Safer than Childbirth”

The false claim that abortion is 14 times safer than childbirth arose from a 2012 journal article by two vocal abortion advocates, Elizabeth Raymond and David Grimes. Despite being debunked in the dozen years since, it continues to be repeated by pro-abortion media advocates. This issue of On Women's Health explains numerous reasons this statement is false and not data-driven.

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.
