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 Amicus Brief in Idaho’s Moyle v. United States EMTALA Case

CLI recently filed an amicus brief in the case Moyle v. United States (consolidated with Idaho v. U.S.) to be considered before the Supreme Court this April. The Biden administration has interpreted the federal Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act in a way that would compel emergency room doctors to perform abortions even when a mother’s life is not in danger. According to CLI, such an interpretation of EMTALA is incoherent and in conflict with the plain sense of the text.

Filed: CLI Amicus Brief in SCOTUS Case FDA v. Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine

On March 26, SCOTUS will hear oral arguments in the case FDA v. Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine. In the case, AHM argues that the FDA's changes to regulations of the abortion drug mifepristone were "arbitrary and capricious." CLI filed a brief in support of AHM, arguing that abortion with mifepristone is not "safe," that the FDA's loosening of mifepristone regulations makes these safety concerns even worse, and that AHM et al. have standing, since they would suffer concrete injury under the current loosened mifepristone regulations, being at risk of finding themselves complicit in abortion procedures.

Scientists to SCOTUS: FDA Harms Women & Doctors by Allowing Dangerous Mail-Order Abortion Drugs

As the nation’s leading pro-life scientific, statistical and research center, the Charlotte Lozier Institute has filed an amicus brief asking the Supreme Court to affirm the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals decision that found the FDA likely violated the law when it loosened safeguards on abortion drugs by allowing them to be sent by mail.

Filed Brief: Zurawski v. Texas and Reasonable Medical Judgment

In February 2024, CLI filed a joint amicus brief with the Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine supporting Texas in the case Zurawski v. State of Texas. The state’s abortion law is challenged on the grounds that its medical emergency exception is unduly vague, leaving physicians confused and unable to properly intervene to help pregnant women. Texas and CLI/AHM, however, argue that the “reasonable medical judgment” standard for when doctors are justified in intervening to save a mother’s life or major bodily function is both legally and medically sound. CLI and AHM agree with Texas, and expand on why their position is justified in this brief submitted to the court.

Following is CLI’s amicus brief reproduced in full.
