Ahhhhhhhh. True liberal arrogance. "Knowing" that only your position is "right". All disagreements mean one is a bigot, deluded or just plain stupid. LOL!! JLA

pezz, it is not a point of contention, except in the first trimester. PBA's abort babies who would otherwise be delivered normally.........

Pregnancy Week by Week
Week Twelve

Baby is moving a lot, but you don't feel it yet.

Mother:
You may actually start feeling better from your extreme tiredness and nausea this week. Others will hang on to it for awhile longer. Your abdomen may start expanding, especially if this is not your first pregnancy.

Your placenta will take over the production of hormones around this time. If you have suffered from corpus luteum cysts them may begin to dissolve now. Your risk of miscarriage is reduced even further.
Baby:

While your baby's brain is not the same size it will be at birth, it does have the same structure. Bile is being secreted by this time. S/he weighs about 14 grams and is approximately 3.54 inches in total length.

Your baby has its reflexes and also practice movements in the digestive tract. All of this in preparation for extrauterine life.

If your practitioner uses a doppler, you may be able to hear your baby's heart beat at this office visit. It will sound very fast. Some say that they hear clicking or the sounds of horse hooves. Either way it is a joyous sound to hear! Your risk of miscarriage is greatly reduced once you hear this sound.


Anyway, there is no physiological difference between a full term baby in the womb, and out of the womb, except the dependency on the umbilicus, which can be terminated at any time.........

Your theory that a fetus has a fully developed nervous system capable of cogent thought and a sense of consciousness is not a biological fact. This is, as you well know, a point of contention between the two sides.. As usual you assume your argument is correct in attempts to prove it's correctness.

I, for one, do not assume to be correct in anything.

All I ask of you is this: "What if you are wrong?"

What will you say then?--- "Oh well sorry, 40+ million children are dead."
