    This early the movement is reflexive in the local area. Later reflexes will be controlled by the spine and, even later, the brain. This early the brain controls and perceives nothing from the body because all the nerves aren’t there yet.
    *Not an excuse for abortion in any way*

    Someone needs to mention that EHD counts from FERTILIZATION. ’7 Weeks’ is really 9 weeks gestation.

    It’s not that …
    It’s not that simple. I used condoms faithfully, and had an unwanted pregnancy as a result..to this day I don’t know when the condom failed, but it did. Also, MOST doctors will not even consider performing a vasectomy or tubal ligation on anyone under at least 30 or without kids. It’s not just as simple as going to get “fixed”, and ::clap clap clap:: you’re done!

    you have a point …
    you have a point there..but some people out there get pregnant by mistake and that’s the result, whether it’d be rape or they have to get rid of the pregnancy for medical complications..there’s always two sides to a story..i am an expecting mother and am at 7 weeks now..to see this video clip ensures me that my baby is alive and moving…some people just need to use a condom if they dont want kids!!! or get “fixed”!!

    When I viewed the 9 weeks one, when the foot is touched, the fetus will retract it’s leg and move it away. Doesn’t this mean that the baby can feel? (Tickles as well as pain?) That brings me to a serious question: Why is abortion still legal?!!!!

    Amniotic fluid is generally clear and not visible, though sometimes particles within the fluid can be seen. In this video sequence, you cannot see fluid but you can see the amnion (adjacent to the right leg) which contains the fluid.
