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!

Fact Sheet: Dismemberment Abortion

“Dismemberment abortion” is a layman’s term describing a dilation and evacuation (D&E) procedure that is intended to end the life of an unborn child via induced abortion, typically performed in the second trimester. During this procedure, the unborn baby and other pregnancy tissue are removed in a piecemeal fashion with suction and instruments. There is substantial evidence that unborn babies are capable of experiencing pain by at least 15 weeks of gestation, and as early as 12 weeks, around the point in pregnancy when dismemberment abortions are first performed. Even abortionists who perform dismemberment abortions have testified to the brutality of tearing apart an unborn baby at this stage of development.

The Protect Life Rule: Defunding Abortion in Title X

The text of the Title X family planning program prohibits grant recipients from using funds for programs that involve abortion as a method of family planning. With the Protect Life Rule, President Trump’s first administration honored Title X’s text and original intent by ensuring that Title X projects were kept separate from abortion activities. President Biden, however, rescinded the Protect Life Rule and again permitted abortion businesses to flout Title X’s prohibition on abortion as family planning. President Trump can reinstate the Protect Life Rule and avert threats to Title X during his second term.

Suicide risks associated with pregnancy outcomes: a national cross-sectional survey of American females 41–45 years of age

Many studies have linked abortion to a higher risk of suicide. According to one hypothesis, this association is entirely incidental and likely explained by preexisting mental illness. This hypothesis, however, is inconsistent with women’s own self-assessments of the extent to which their abortions directly influenced their self-destructive and suicidal behaviors.

Filed: CLI and ACLJ Amicus Brief in SisterSong v. Georgia

After litigation in lower courts, the constitutionality of Georgia's 2019 LIFE Act, which protects fetal life from the moment of a detectable heartbeat, is now being considered before the Supreme Court of Georgia. The Charlotte Lozier Institute and the American Center for Law & Justice have submitted an amicus brief arguing that Georgia has a compelling interest in protecting fetal life before viability due to the evidence for the presence of fetal pain early in pregnancy.
