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!

Planned Parenthood and Federally Qualified Health Centers

While Planned Parenthood is the nation’s largest abortion provider, having performed 327,653 abortions in 2013, federally qualified health centers (FQHCs), which operate in service sites in both rural and urban locations, offer low-income populations health services similar to those provided by Planned Parenthood, but do not perform abortions.

World Leaders in Abortion: Top 10 Countries

The United States is second in the world in number of abortions each year.  If Planned Parenthood were included for comparison, it would rank sixth in the world in number of abortions carried out annually; and the International Planned Parenthood Federation would be fourth in the number of abortions carried out per year.

Nebraska’s Annual Abortion Report: A Unique Set of Abortion Statistics

In their report, Nebraska’s Department of Health and Human Services, revealed that there were just seven instances out of 2,270 abortions where an emergency situation caused a waiver of the Nebraska informed consent law. Additionally, the report showed that 811, or 35.7 percent of the abortions were performed for women who did not report using any form of contraception. Additionally, socio-economic reasons were reported as a reason for 33 percent of abortions, patients declined to provide a reason for 16 percent of the abortions, and 14 percent of the abortions were due to contraceptive failure. The small percentage of remaining reasons included fetal anomalies, maternal life endangered, maternal physical health, mental health, and sexual assault.

Idaho Annual Abortion Report Deserves Wider Access and Attention

According to Idaho Code Section 39-261, the state has been required to report induced abortions occurring in Idaho since July 1, 1977. Idaho compiles extensive information into impressive reports. Why should these reports only be available upon request? Information about abortion trends is very helpful to both citizens and policy makers. These reports should be made much more accessible.
