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!

Reproductive Coercion and Abortion

Easily available abortion drugs come with the risk that they will be used by bad actors to coerce women into abortion. Moreover, evidence shows that, far from helping women suffering abuse, abortion can itself be a tool of coercion and abuse.

I studied brain cells for years as a neuroscientist. Then my own pregnancy changed everything

As a neuroscientist at Boston University, I spent years studying how brain cells form connections. Experiencing my first pregnancy, however, revealed to me the most astonishing neurological story of all: how, in just nine months, a single cell can become a baby with developing senses, a capacity to remember, and a growing brain prepared for life.

Drug-induced Abortion After the First Trimester

The claim that later drug-induced abortions are “safe and effective” is false, with studies documenting higher rates of complications following later drug-induced abortions compared to the first trimester. Due to the FDA's removal of the in-person dispensing requirement, these later drug-induced abortions often occur outside of a medical facility, increasing the odds that complications will be more severe if emergency care is not readily available.
