Abortion: 15 Facts at 15 Weeks
Medieval Abortion Drug Being Given
Many in the media are concerned that steps in Texas to reduce the ability of mothers to kill their unborn children is supposedly wrong.
The Biden-Harris Administration has filed papers to try to stop the Texas law as it wants more abortion access.
Anti-abortionists point out that human beings are murdered during an abortion.
Let’s consider some scientific facts. Here are 15 points about unborn babies from a report by the Charlotte Lozier Institute:
15 Facts at 15 Weeks
15 Amazing Facts about the 15-Week-Gestation Fetus
1) All of the major organs have formed.
Immediately upon fertilization, a human being has a unique set of genes encoded by his or her sequence of DNA packaged into 46 chromosomes. These genes determine the physical traits of the baby, such as eye color, hair texture, and gender. …
2) The heart pumps 26 quarts of blood per day.
The unborn baby’s circulatory system pumps about 26 quarts of blood per day at 15 weeks’ gestation. …
3) The heart has already beat approximately 15,800,000 times.
By 22 days after fertilization (about five weeks’ gestation), the heart starts beating. …
4) Each finger moves separately.
Starting at 10-and-a-half weeks’ gestation, when something touches the fetus’s hand, he starts to close his fingers. …
5) The fetus prefers sucking his left or right thumb.
As early as 10 weeks’ gestation, it is possible to determine whether the unborn child is left-handed or right-handed by studying ultrasounds. …
6) The entire body responds to touch.
By 15 weeks’ gestation, the fetus responds to light touches all over the body except the buttocks and the inside of the thigh. …
7) The fetus responds to taste.
After the mother eats, flavors from her food seep into the amniotic fluid, with the flavors peaking about 45 minutes after she eats. …
8) The brain creates neurons at a rate of 250,000 per minute. …
9) Brain connections formed at 15 weeks’ gestation last into adulthood. …
10) The fetus can feel pain. …
The spinal nerves needed to transmit touch and pain information to the thalamus have formed by 15 weeks’ gestation. …
11) Females have most of the eggs that they will ever produce.
While the embryo is still developing a full body system around seven weeks’ gestation, some of the embryonic cells that have remained outside the body migrate into the developing ovary or testes. In females, these future egg cells start dividing immediately, until the female fetus has about 7 million eggs around 21 weeks’ gestation. …
12) The fetus has practiced breathing for over six weeks.
Starting at 10 weeks gestational age, the fetus makes intermittent breathing motions.
13) Eye movements are easily seen in ultrasound recordings.
The first recorded eye movements come from the 12th week of gestation. …
14) If a doctor took an X-ray this week, the fetus’s skeleton would be visible.
The fetal skeleton starts forming from a series of ridges, called somites, along the embryo’s back. These somites develop in the sixth week. …
15) Surgeons have successfully performed surgery on fetuses at 15 weeks’ gestation.
When ultrasound scans reveal structural defects or life-threatening diseases early in the pregnancy, doctors may recommend a prenatal surgery. Recent medical advances have enabled some babies to receive life-saving treatments while still in the womb – long before they are born!

Abortion causes pain and suffering and murders a human being.
Consider also something that World Net Daily posted written by William Hamnet Wall:
15 deadly lies of abortion pushers
Lie No. 1: When life begins is unknown.
Science is very clear that all chromosomes, DNA and RNA are present at the moment of conception.
DNA includes more than just the cellular blueprint of your physical body down to the length of your eyelashes. It seems to lay out unique features of your mind, your natural talents, aptitudes and even what dreams are likely to enthrall you.
Lie No. 2: The unborn are not human until they take their first breath.
Science informs us that the unborn child does breathe in utero through her umbilical cord attached to mother.
I once asked an abortionist: After a baby is born, he is holding his breath, right? Yes, he said. So before the doctor spanks him, while he’s squirming upside-down held by his ankles, still attached by umbilical cord, is the baby human before his first breath? No, he answered with much less certainty in his voice, almost robotically. So the baby can be killed at that moment? He awakened to this lie’s absurdity, shook his head and agreed that would be wrong.
Lie No. 3: The mother determines her child’s value.
The fallacy goes like this: Any unborn child is worthless unless the mother ascribes some value to him or her. If she prefers to finish a college course before giving birth, then the baby becomes less valuable and is expendable. After graduation, her unborn child becomes precious.
No intrinsic value exists in early human life; our value is determined by how our birth’s timing comports with our mother’s convenience.
Lie No. 4: Abortions are safe.
There are physical and psychological consequences, some very severe. Check out the research yourself.
Question the validity of resources that ignore the psychic effects of having abortions. After all, we are more than just a body.
Lie No. 5: Infanticide is more humane than growing up poor and unwanted.
Newsflash: Very few kids are told daily how valuable and cherished they are. Most parents are struggling with their own problems and feelings of low self-worth. Many exasperated parents, in moments of selfishness, feel their children are unwanted.
Most well-adjusted people look back with tearful gratitude on the struggles of their parents raising them. How much love existed and dedication to family? Many say they didn’t even know they were poor.
No wonder so many thousands eagerly pay a fortune to adopt so-called “unwanted” babies and children to take on the privilege of being parents.
Lie No. 6: The unborn feel no pain during dismemberment at 5 months.
Much medical evidence exists to corroborate the obvious fact that pain-sensitive nerve cells have formed by this time in a baby’s development.
“The Silent Scream” is a 1984 educational film narrated by Bernard Nathanson, an obstetrician, NARAL Pro-Choice America founder and abortion provider turned pro-life activist. The film shows an abortion taking place of a 12-week-old fetus using ultrasound footage. I could not watch it, but apparently, the baby is seen screaming in agony.
After 20 weeks, no pain? Don’t believe it.

There have long been many lies pushed by the murderous abortion industry.
Not only are there lies by the abortion industry, that industry has greatly affected politics in the USA and many other nations. In the USA, to cite one example, it is almost required that Democratic party political candidates endorse abortion rights.
While abortions claim it is wrong to restrict them from killing unborn babies, consider also the following scriptures:
20 Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness;
Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! (Isaiah 5:20)18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, (Romans 1:18)
Abortion is wrong. Abortion is murder. It is wrong to try to stop people from telling others the truth about abortion.
We in the Continuing Church of God are striving to fulfill the following:
1 “Cry aloud, spare not; Lift up your voice like a trumpet; Tell My people their transgression, And the house of Jacob their sins. (Isaiah 58:1)
Abortion is a sin.
As far as crying aloud goes, in addition to making posts on this COGwriter news page against abortion, as well as having a longer article against it (see Abortion, the Bible, and a Woman’s Right to Choose), we have made videos denouncing it. Here are links to three of them:
Abortion, the Bible, and US Debt. What is an abortion? How are they performed? Does the Bible teach that unborn children are still human? Is abortion wrong? How many are being aborted? Has there been increases in US debt since the “legalization” of abortion? Is debt a biblical curse? This is a video.
Land of ‘Free’ Abortions and Debt The State of Oregon decided to make abortions free for those that want them. Does freedom of choice include the right to shed innocent blood? What has happened to the economy of the USA since abortions became legalized? What has happened to incomes since that time? How many babies have been killed since the Roe vs. Wade decision in 1973? Is there a cost to abortion beyond the financial and emotional? What does the Bible teach? What does the Bible prophesy? Dr. Thiel addresses these and other questions. This is a video.
Satanic Temple’s Abortion Agenda. The Satanic Temple has sued the State of Texas because it requires women to have a sonogram and view their unborn baby at least 24 hours before having an abortion. The Satanic Temple claims that abortion is a religious ritual that should not have any interference. Does the Bible condemn an earlier religious ritual that involved killing children? Does the Satanic Temple despise the word of God?
Because we have denounced abortion and other sins, we believe that this is why places like YouTube have discouraged people (via search algorithm changes) from finding our videos.
But we continue to push forward.
So you shall put away the guilt of innocent blood from among you when you do what is right in the sight of the LORD (Deuteronomy 21:9).
These six things the LORD hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him: A proud look, A lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood, A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that are swift in running to evil, A false witness who speaks lies, And one who sows discord among brethren (Proverbs 6:16-19).
Their feet run to evil, And they make haste to shed innocent blood; Their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; Wasting and destruction are in their paths. The way of peace they have not known, And there is no justice in their ways; They have made themselves crooked paths; Whoever takes that way shall not know peace (Isaiah 59:7-8).
Thus says the LORD: “Execute judgment and righteousness, and deliver the plundered out of the hand of the oppressor. Do no wrong and do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, or the widow, nor shed innocent blood in this place (Jeremiah 22:3).
“Yet your eyes and your heart are for nothing but your covetousness, For shedding innocent blood, And practicing oppression and violence” (Jeremiah 22:17).
Babies are innocent. Killing them is the shedding of innocent blood.
The destruction of the USA is coming and abortion is one of the many reasons why (see also Anglo – America in Prophecy & the Lost Tribes of Israel). A new world order has begun to develop, and once it fully does, the USA will no longer be on top.
