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.
the only thing that i find "shocking" is that your agenda is so clear, yet you frequently denie it.
from what I can tell, virtually the only thing you post about is "shock factor" pictures of abortion.
you're a hypocriticizer too so stfu |  | |

It has no conscience, it has no memory, no productive brain, nothing. Other than the fact it is inside someone, it is just like a group of cells in a test tube. It's less of a life than a fly, but you don't see people protesting about fly swatting.
Really? Do you think it would be pkay to kill a newborn baby who's in a coma, no conscience developed yet, no memory, no productive brain, no time to develop a personality and no concious thought? Is that really your criteria as to whether or not a human being is worthy of life and one that is not?
What about Alzheimer's patients? They don't fit your criteria either.
People don't care how much you know, until they know how much you care.
