I could care less if you snot nosed ******* believe it or not, you know the truth, you know what you are doing and you know you will pay for it. Mother Theresa said it best: "America needs no words from me to see how your decision in Roe v. Wade has deformed a great nation. The so-called right to abortion has pitted mothers against their children and women against men. It has portrayed the greatest of gifts--a child--as a competitor, an intrusion, and an inconvenience. (Mother Theresa -- "Notable and Quotable," Wall Street Journal, 2/25/94, p. A14) Here is the info in the phamplet I used...you tell me what you say I lied about: Milestones Of Early Life Our first nine months of life must have been the most eventful we have ever experienced. Here are the major milestones of that life before birth - the chapter in your own biography: Conception: The father's sperm penetrates mother's egg cell. Genetic instructions from both parents interact to begin a new and unique individual - no bigger than a grain of sugar. 1st day: The first cell divides into two, the two into four, and so on. 5-9 days: The new individual burrows into the wall of the womb. 14 days: Mother's menstrual period is suppressed by a hormone produced by her child. 18 days: Heart is forming. Soon eyes start to develop. 20 days: Foundations of brain, spinal cord and nervous system are laid. 24 days: Heart begins to beat. 28 days: Muscles are developing along the future spine. Arms and legs are budding. 30 days: Child has grown 10,000 times to 6-7 mm (1/4") long. Brain has human proportions. Blood flows in veins (but stays separate from mother's blood). 35 days: Pituitary gland in brain is forming. Mouth, ears and nose are taking shape. 40 days: Heart's energy output is 20percent of adult's. 42 days: Skeleton is formed. Brain coordinates movement of muscles and organs. Reflex responses have begun. Penis is forming in boys. (Mother misses second period.) 43 days: Brain waves can be recorded. 45 days: Spontaneous movements have begun. Buds of milk teeth have appeared. 7 weeks: Lips are sensitive to touch. Ears may resemble family pattern. 8 weeks: Child is well proportioned. Now a small scale baby, 3cm (1 1/8") and weighing a gram (1/30th oz.) Every organ is present. Heart beats sturdily. Stomach produces digestive juices. Liver makes blood cells. Kidneys begin to function. Taste buds are forming. 8 1/2 weeks: Fingerprints are being engraved. Eyelids and palms of hands are sensitive to touch. 9 weeks: Child will bend fingers around an object placed in the palm. Thumb sucking occurs. Fingernails are now forming. 10 weeks: Body is sensitive to touch. Child squints, swallows, puckers up brow and frowns. 11 weeks: Baby urinates, makes complex facial expressions - even smiles. 12 weeks: Vigorous activity shows distinct individuality. Child can kick, turn feet, curl and fan toes, make a fist, move thumbs, bend wrists, turn head, open mouth and press lips tightly together. Breathing is practiced. 13 weeks: Face is prettier, facial expressions resembling parents'. Movements are graceful, reflexes vigorous. Vocal chords are formed (but without air baby cannot cry). Sex organs are apparent. 4 months: Child can grasp with hands, swim and turn somersaults. 4-5 months: Mother first feels baby's movements. 5 months: Sleeping habits appear, but a slammed door will provoke activity. Child responds to sounds in frequencies too high or low for adults to hear. 6 months: Fine hair grows on eye brows & head. Eye-lash fringe appears. Weight is about 640g (22 oz.), height 23 cm (9"). Babies born at this age have survived. 7 months: Eye teeth are present. Eyelids open and close, eyes look around. Hands grip strongly. Mother's voice is heard and recognized. 8 months: Weight increases by 1 kg.
