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!

Are Pro-life Laws Harming Women and Children? An Examination of Claims Against Texas

Texas is often the subject of interest and criticism. The Texas Heartbeat Act was the first strong protection of unborn life allowed while Roe was in effect, and an even stronger protection, the Texas Human Life Protection Act, was enforced following the overturn of Roe. Much media attention has been focused on potential adverse events these laws might cause. Immediately after Texas enacted stronger gestational age limitations, pro-abortion media advocates began a campaign of accusations. In this paper, the most notable of these objections will be addressed.

Why the Global Protect Life Rule is Right for the U.S. and Nations around the World (2025 Update)

The Mexico City Policy, first introduced in 1984, prohibited U.S. funds for family planning from going to foreign nongovernmental organizations that perform or promote abortion as a method of family planning. In 2017, President Trump restored the MCP and expanded it through Protecting Life in Global Health Assistance, commonly known as the “Global Protect Life Rule," which significantly decreased the amount of taxpayer dollars going to organizations that promote or perform abortion. After Biden rescinded the Rule during his administration, on January 24, 2025, President Trump restored it to ensure that U.S. taxpayer funding is no longer used to promote abortion overseas. The U.S. has shown it can continue to meet critical healthcare needs for women while refusing to pay for the killing of the unborn.
