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!

Anti-abortion laws not to blame for OB-GYN shortages: Study

Anti-abortion laws are likely not the cause of a decline in the number of obstetricians and gynecologists or the number of labor and delivery wards in the United States, according to a new study published by the Charlotte Lozier Institute that instead pins the blame on a lack of training opportunities and declining birth rates.

Dobbs and Medical Deserts: Will Pro-Life Laws Drive Away Doctors and Lead to Hospital Closures?

Post-Dobbs, pro-life states’ efforts to protect life have been met with pushback, including widespread claims that the laws are contributing to hospital closures and driving doctors away. A close look at the data shows that these claims are unjustified. Pro-life states continue to train medical students, recruit future doctors, and position themselves for further growth.

Is Induced Abortion Health Care?

Although induced abortion is often referenced as health care, a critical examination shows that there is little objective evidence that this statement is true.

Experts: No Evidence Behind “Induced Abortion Is Evidence-Based Medical Care” Argument

A new peer-reviewed article published by Charlotte Lozier Institute (CLI) in Medical Research Archives refutes the inaccurate claim by abortion advocates that induced abortion is an “evidence-based” medical practice.

Is Induced Abortion Evidence-Based Medical Practice?

CLI Director of Data Analytics Dr. James Studnicki and Director of Medical Affairs Dr. Ingrid Skop recently published their paper "Is Induced Abortion Evidence-Based Medical Practice?" in the journal Medical Research Archives. In the paper, Studnicki and Skop argue that there are objective criteria by which a given medical practice can be judged "evidence-based," and that abortion fails to meet these criteria.

 Q&A with the Scholars: From Nursing to Abortion Research

After 25+ years serving on the front lines of health care as a Nurse and then as a Family Nurse Practitioner, Dr. Sharon J. MacKinnon completed her doctoral work in Health Services Research at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Dr. MacKinnon recently joined the Charlotte Lozier Institute as an Associate Scholar, and in this interview, she shares her observations from her nursing experience as well as her recent research on reasons why women obtain abortions, the significant racial and ethnic disparities in deaths caused by abortion, abortion reporting, chemical abortions, and more.

Here Today, Gone Tomorrow: Conscience Protection in Illinois

Pharmacists Luke Vander Bleek and Glenn Kosirog faced a bleak situation in the summer of 2005: they either had to stock and dispense abortifacients or close up their shops. Then-Governor of Illinois Rod Blagojevich had issued an executive rule on April 1 requiring pharmacists to assist customers in obtaining emergency contraceptives upon request and without delay. Herein lies the dilemma: Vander Bleek and Kosirog hold that human life begins at conception, and that drug regimens such as Plan B act to prevent the implantation in the womb of a new, unique member of the human species, thus causing death. They could not, in good conscience, sell such drugs to their customers.
