Katrina Furth, Ph.D., a neuroscientist, confirms that unborn babies are Human beings with beating hearts.

She provides the following facts:

A baby’s heart starts beating about 22 days after fertilization.
The baby’s heart pumps 26 quarts of blood per day.
By 15 weeks, the baby’s heart has already beat approximately 15,800,000 times.
In total, a baby’s heart beats about 54 million times between conception and birth.
Brain connections formed by 15 weeks’ gestation last into adulthood.
Starting at 10 weeks of gestational age, the fetus begins the breathing process.
The kidneys already filter toxins.
Intestines have started the lifelong contractions that propel food through the digestive system.
Surgeons have successfully performed surgery on 15-week old babies in utero.

By 15 weeks, unborn babies show a preference for their right or left hand; they can respond to touch and bend their fingers as if to grasp an object.

This is a step in the right direction!

This afternoon, the Special Joint Committee on Medical Assistance in Dying released its 98-page report with one chief recommendation:

"That the Government of Canada amend the Criminal Code to indefinitely exclude persons whose sole underlying medical condition is a mental illness from eligibility for medical assistance in dying."

What if we invested the same energy into counseling, palliative care, disability supports, and mental health services that we invest into expanding MAID? Real compassion means standing with people in their suffering.

People facing difficult circumstances deserve treatment, hope, and community. We should be making care easier to access than assisted death.

#prolife #canada

[Wilberforce Project @WilberfProject]

If someone is struggling with illness, depression, addiction, or loneliness, the answer should be more support, not a quicker path to death. A compassionate society helps people live.

Many Canadians were told MAID would be limited to rare and exceptional situations. Cases like this raise an important question: are we addressing the causes of suffering, or simply ending the sufferer?

Dr. David Prentice confirms that unborn babies feel EXCCURCIATING pain during abortions.

David A. Prentice, Ph.D. is the Vice President and Research Director of the Charlotte Lozier Institute.

He is a former biology professor at Indiana State University.

Here's what he says about the pain babies feel during abortions, especially at 20 weeks.

"The science is pretty conclusive at this point.

And there are always going to be people, especially those in favor of abortion, who will say, “Oh that really doesn’t happen, and they’ll throw up a smokescreen. And what they usually do is they refer to an old study back in 2005 that was published actually by people who had associations with Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers."

Dr. Prentice continues:

"But the real science – and there’s some new things in fact, that have come out in the last few months – but the science pretty conclusively demonstrates: Young babies still in the womb at 20 weeks after conception, and probably even earlier, do indeed feel pain, and in fact, may feel more intense pain than a newborn or an adult."

Why do babies feel pain before birth?

"They have a higher density of nerve receptors. Your skin is not very thick at that point, but there is another aspect.

There are certain pathways that sort of tone down pain. If I hit my thumb with a hammer, I’m going to feel it because the pain sensation goes up to my brain, but there is also a return path to try and tone that down. That doesn’t even start to develop until about the time that you’re born, so you don’t get this dampening of the pain.

In fact, there was a study done, reported just a couple weeks ago, where they were looking at pain experience of newborns – just between one and six or seven days old and adults, and the headlines were, “Babies feel pain like adults and they feel it more intensely.”

The study actually looked at regions of the brain associated with pain using very sophisticated technology and comparing not really pain, just sort of like you’d take the end of a pencil and press it against the bottom of this baby’s foot, a little bit of pressure, a little sensation there.

A lot of the babies even slept through this whole procedure, but they were in this functional MRI machine, very sophisticated technology, and then they would do the same thing to adults to see how they responded.

Eighteen of the twenty pain regions lit up in babies, eighteen of the twenty that are the same as adults, and at four times as sensitive. So again, you don’t develop this feedback loop to shut down pain until right about that time, and it takes even several months after birth for it to start to mature.

Now, wind back the clock to five months after conception, you’re a little past halfway through development in moms womb. You don’t even have that feedback loop at all; it’s not starting until months later in your life – and now the pain is very intense. We don’t know exactly how much, but much more intense for the small amount that you might feel as an adult."

Abortions kill babies.

And babies feel pain.

Please RT this truth.

Seriously though, we'd never actually encourage this.

From the American College of Pediatricians:

"The predominance of human biological research confirms that human life begins at conception—fertilization. At fertilization, the human being emerges as a whole, genetically distinct, individuated zygotic living human organism, a member of the species Homo sapiens, needing only the proper environment in order to grow and develop. The difference between the individual in its adult stage and in its zygotic stage is one of form, not nature. This statement focuses on the scientific evidence of when an individual human life begins.

[ . . . ]

"The American College of Pediatricians concurs with the body of scientific evidence that corroborates that a unique human life starts when the sperm and egg bind to each other in a process of fusion of their respective membranes and a single hybrid cell called a zygote, or one-cell embryo, is created."

Pre-born children develop the ability to feel pain by the beginning of the third trimester (26 weeks gestation) at the latest. Sign our petition to call upon Parliament to enact laws which will protect pre-born children who are capable of feeling pain from excruciating deaths by abortion.

🇺🇸 A micro-preemie, born at just 23 weeks and weighing a mere 595 grams, had her very first skin-to-skin cuddle with her mother.

At 23 weeks, a baby’s skin is as thin as paper, and their lungs are incredibly fragile.

This isn't too niche is it?

After Kenya’s high court ruled in 2022 that access to abortion was a fundamental right under the constitution, the court of appeal on Friday April 24th 2026 reiterated that abortion DENIES a child the RIGHT TO LIFE as guaranteed in the constitution and is prohibited except in circumstances such as when the mother’s life is at risk.

“In effect, abortion is not a fundamental right guaranteed under the Constitution. On the contrary, the constitution expressly prohibits it but provides exceptions in limited circumstances.”

The Wilberforce Project is excited to co-host the Alberta March for Life on Thursday, May 14, 2026, at the Legislature in Edmonton, with the rally and march beginning at 12:00 pm at Violet King Henry Plaza just north of the Legislature Grounds; join Albertans from across the province to hear inspiring testimonies from medical professionals, pro-life politicians, abortion survivor Melissa Ohden, and many other voices committed to protecting the dignity of human life.

Miriam is an 84-year-old Canadian woman who woke up with horrible back pain one day.

A doctor offered her ASSISTED SUICIDE without even giving her a diagnosis for the pain.

Miriam refused, recovered from her pain, and just got back from travelling the world!

@LiveAction That's a huge yikes.
