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!

Genevieve Plaster, M.A.

Former Senior Editor and Director of Publications

Genevieve Plaster was Senior Editor and Director of Publications for Charlotte Lozier Institute (CLI), where she lead rigorous reviews to ensure CLI’s scientific and data research on life issues is able to surpass the highest levels of scrutiny.

Genevieve reviewed hundreds of expert testimonies, research papers, and articles while previously serving as CLI Deputy Director of Policy and Administration, Senior Policy Analyst, and Research Assistant. She then leveraged that experience as she actively engaged with CLI’s team of credentialed scientists, doctors, and scholars at each project level, performing critical and editorial reviews, convening appropriate stakeholders, and helping make the final product accessible to policymakers, professional journals, pro-life organizations, and the general public.

During her time at CLI, Genevieve testified before Congress on research measuring the life-saving impact of the Hyde Amendment, before a Pennsylvania House of Representatives committee on Planned Parenthood activities, and before the Council of the District of Columbia on physician-assisted suicide.

Genevieve’s analyses of comprehensive healthcare alternatives to Planned Parenthood, state pro-life laws, and drug-induced abortion have appeared in National Review Online, The Daily Signal, Townhall, EWTN NewsNightly and Pro-Life Weekly, LifeNews, and other media outlets.  She also regularly contributed to CLI research on the services and impact of pro-life pregnancy centers.

Genevieve earned an M.A. in theology, graduating magna cum laude from the Pontifical Faculty of the Immaculate Conception at the Dominican House of Studies in Washington, D.C., in 2013.  She received her B.A. in English literature from American University in 2009.

ObamaClarity at Day 9: Abortion Coverage Still Opaque

More than a week into the enrollment period for health insurance via the federal-state insurance exchanges, whether existing plan options include elective abortion remains anything but clear.  Under Obamacare, a cluster of Multi-State Plans (MSPs) are likely to include elective abortion coverage in 27 states.  In each of those states, at least one MSP is required under federal law to exclude elective abortion coverage so that individual subscribers can select an option that squares with this element of conscience.  But how to tell an elective-abortion plan from one that does not include it?
