Pro-life is pro-family. Pro-abortionists are anti-family. Abortion destroys the American family.At what point of pregnancy does the fetus become human? In other words, when does life beginPhysicians, biologists, and other scientists agree conception marks the beginning of the life of a human being--a being that is alive and is a member of the human species. There is overwhelming agreement on this point in countless medical, biological, and scientific writingsBy the third week of the unborn child's life, his heart muscle pulsates, and his head, arms, and legs begin to appear. After about seven weeks, brain waves can be detected, the child's heart beats and blood of his own type starts to flow, and his nose, eyes, ears, and toes can be seen with an ultrasonic scanner. At this same stage, the child has his own fingerprints. In addition, he is sensitive to touch on his lips and has reflexes, and all his bodily systems are present and functioning. In the third month, i.e., after about twelve weeks, the unborn baby swallows, squints, and swims. He grasps with his hands, moves his tongue, and can even suck his thumb. He can also feel organic pain. During the fourth month, the child's weight increases six times and grows up to eight to ten inches long. And, he can hear his mother's voice. In the fifth month, the unborn baby's skin, hair, and nails develop. He dreams and has REM sleep.
