EXCUSE ME AMERICA
This is tissue.
This is not.
In fact, an unborn baby's heart begins to beat at 18 days. At 40 days she has measurable brain waves. An unborn baby shouldn't be thrown away like a piece of tissue.
DIARY OF AN UNBORN CHILD.....
Day 1 - Fertilization! All human chromosomes are present and unique human life begins.
Day 22 - The baby's heart begins to beat with the child's own blood -- often a different blood type than the mother.
Week 6 - At this stage, brain waves can be detected. The child's mouth and lips are present and fingers are forming.
Week 8 - At this stage, every organ is in place. Bones and unique fingerprints begin to form.
Week 17 - The baby can now have a dream (REM) sleep.
ABORTION STATISTICS: Not just numbers . . .
¤ Since 1973 there have been more than 39 million abortions.
¤ The annual number of abortions has nearly doubled since Roe v. Wade, from 744,600 to 1,365,730 for 1996.
¤ For every 1000 live births, there are 305 abortions.
¤ There are more than 140,000 second and third trimester abortions each year.
After reaching a high of over 1.6 million in 1990, the number of abortions annually performed in the United States has begun to drop back to levels not seen since the late 1970's. Thanks to the efforts of grassroots pro-life activists, more and more Americans have learned that abortion is not about a "blob of tissue," and that these children are more than just statistics. Pro-life education has taught America that Abortion Stops a Beating Heart.
