Translating a World on the Edge

From an article by Katrina Furth, Ph.D., a neuroscientist and associate scholar at the Charlotte Lozier Institute, providing a picture of what scientists now know about the developing child in the womb.

“According to the article “15 Facts at 15 Weeks”:

• A baby’s heart starts beating about 22 days after fertilization.
• The baby’s heart pumps 26 quarts of blood per day.
• By 15 weeks, the baby’s heart has already beat approximately 15,800,000 times.
• In total, a baby’s heart beats about 54 million times between conception and birth.
• Brain connections formed by 15 weeks’ gestation last into adulthood.
• Starting at 10 weeks of gestational age, the fetus begins the breathing process.
• The kidneys already filter toxins.
• Intestines have started the lifelong contractions that propel food through the digestive system.
• Surgeons have successfully performed surgery on 15-week old babies in utero.

By 15 weeks, unborn babies show a preference for their right or left hand; they can respond to touch and bend their fingers as if to grasp an object, according to research cited in Furth’s article.

And yet, abortion activists deny much of this, claiming unborn babies do not have heartbeats or feel pain until later in pregnancy. All the while, they support the killing of nearly 1 million unborn babies in abortions every year in the U.S.”
