i have been so suprised on here,at the lack of knowledge on the varying stages of pregnancy and how big fetuses are and what they look like within the abortion guidelines (24 weeks) that i am posting these pics so you all now what were dealing with here.im not against abortion at all.just thought i would add this for a bit extra knowledge.

Week 2

Fertilization, the joining of the sperm and the egg in the fallopian tube (below) to form a unique human being, occurs. Forty-six chromosomes provide the blueprint for the embryo’s physical characteristics.


Week 7

Major organs have all begun to form. The embryo has developed its own blood type, unique from the mother’s. Hair follicles and nipples form and knees and elbows are visible. Facial features are also observable. The eyes have a retina and lens. The major muscle system is developed and the embryo is able to move.


Week 8


The embryo is reactive to its environment inside the amniotic sac where it swims and moves. Hands and feet can be seen. At the end of week 8, the embryonic period is over and the fetal stage begins.


Weeks 13-16

The brain is fully developed and the fetus can suck, swallow, and make irregular breathing sounds. Fetus can feel pain (New England Journal of Medicine). Fetal skin is almost transparent. Muscles tissue is lengthening and bones are becoming harder. Liver and organs produce appropriate fluids. Eyebrows and eyelashes appear and the fetus makes active movements including kicks and even somersaults.


A protective waxy substance called Vernix covers the skin. By birth, most of the vernix will be gone but any that is left is quickly absorbed. Fetus has a hand and startle reflex. Footprints and fingerprints are forming. Fetus practices breathing by inhaling amniotic fluid into its developing lungs.



you said WHAT!!!!!

Wow.

fascinating isnt it,may make some people think bout this mighten it.


you said WHAT!!!!!

Yeah. I dont know why people would want to abort a baby any way.
I went to my uncles house today to see my little baby cusin, Hes sooooooooo cute, Hes the best thing that happened for a long time in my family.

their not old enough to have a living conscience, therefor i see no problem morally with killing them.

as i say im not against abortion,but you have it wrong here,it is a life,it can interact,invluntary movements at first but then can volunatry do things themselfs..they can breathe,urinate,move and tests show feel pain..amniosintethis tests have to be carried out in some pregnancies,and this alone can cause misscarriage as the needle used could penetrate the amniotic sac,placenta and the fetus itself..it has been done and they can feel pain,they can sense and respond to light and touch,you palpate a pregnant stomach,and the baby will often move away from this or to it.

are you really in the mind of once a baby is born it can feel pain and be stimulated but not before..babies are very unique,and more attention should be taken to have knowledge on them in utero


you said WHAT!!!!!

its a functional brain..........
