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!

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.

Fact Sheet: Abortions at or after 15 Weeks in the United States

Modern scientific literature shows that unborn babies can feel pain by 15 weeks gestation, and possibly as early as 12 weeks. The majority of abortions occur in the first trimester, but a substantial number are performed at 15 weeks or later on unborn babies who are capable of experiencing pain. Available data suggests that tens of thousands of abortions on unborn babies who feel pain are performed at 15 weeks or later each year.

Pro-Life Laws Aren’t to Blame for Increased Infant Mortality

After a JAMA Pediatrics research letter identified notable national increases in infant mortality following the Dobbs decision, pro-abortion media were quick to blame pro-life laws. The reaction mirrored the response to a JAMA Pediatrics article from June reporting that infant deaths rose 12.7 percent above expectation in Texas following the implementation of its Heartbeat Act.

ACOG Peddles Disinformation About Pro-Life Laws, Plays Politics With Women’s Lives

Last week, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) called for states to repeal pro-life laws because they “are preventing ob-gyns and other clinicians from providing health care to their patients.” ACOG specifically condemned “attempts to misuse examples of tragic deaths that result from abortion bans” by “groups aiming to advance their harmful anti-abortion political agenda.” As a board-certified OB-GYN who practices in Texas, a state with a pro-life law, I’m appalled at these claims.

Scientists Sue Publisher Over Retractions Of Studies Showing Dangers Of Abortion Pills

Ten scientists are suing an academic journal that retracted major studies on the potential harm of abortion pills, saying that the retractions were “politically motivated.” The Charlotte Lozier Institute scientists, represented by the Alliance Defending Freedom and Consovoy McCarthy, say that Sage Publishing violated California contract law when it yanked three studies, including two on the dangers of the abortion pill, earlier this year.

OB-GYNs decry the ‘fearmongering’ about Georgia’s abortion laws: ‘The lies are hurting women’

Charlotte Lozier Institute Vice President and Director of Medical Affairs Dr. Ingrid Skop is calling out the "fearmongering" and "lies" of the media that are hurting women who don’t understand new abortion laws. A recent piece from ProPublica blamed the deaths of two Georgia women, Amber Nicole Thurman and Candi Miller, following chemically induced abortions in 2022, on the overturning of Roe v. Wade and the state’s new abortion limits.
