The network of nerves in your baby's ears is better developed and more sensitive than before. He may now be able to hear both your voice and your partner's as you chat with each other. He's inhaling and exhaling small amounts of amniotic fluid, which is essential for the development of his lungs. These so-called breathing movements are also good practice for when he's born and takes that first gulp of air. And he's continuing to put on baby fat. He now weighs about 1 2/3 pounds and measures 14 inches (about the size of a scallion) from head to heel. If you're having a boy, his testicles are beginning to descend into his scrotum — a trip that will take about two to three days.
Your baby weighs about 10 1/2 ounces now. He's also around 6 1/2 inches long from head to bottom and about 10 inches from head to heel — about the size of a banana. (For the first 20 weeks, when a baby's legs are curled up against his torso and hard to measure, measurements are taken from the top of his head to his bottom — the "crown to rump" measurement. After 20 weeks, he's measured from head to toe.) He's swallowing more these days, which is good practice for his digestive system. He's also producing meconium, a black, sticky by-product of digestion. This gooey substance will accumulate in his bowels, and you'll see it in his first soiled diaper (some babies pass meconium in the womb or during delivery).

I'm sorry but were talking about allowing people to get abortions between 20 and 26 months here. That is not a right to your own body at that point for there is another living inside of it. That is called murder.
If it was a RIGHT then you should have NO PROBLEMS performing the abortion yourself?
Or is the type of thing people are just supposed to let slide until even after they are born, like the baby killer doctor who murdered babies after they were born.
Obviously there should be a line in the sand somewhere and if you asked me even 20 weeks is too long. How about 90 days?
In the case of 26 weeks here's what's already happening.

I try to consider both sides of the argument, but in my opinion a post 20 week abortion is just not irresponsible and immoral it is MURDER!

This is a very revealing article. It really depresses me how devious people get away with so much corruption, even in the US which is supposed to be moral nation (if you listen to these people).

"If you don't like it don't have one" is about the most immature defense of abortion any person can make. You may as well say, if you don't like rape then don't rape anyone. If you don't like infanticide don't commit one. Just don't try to stop me from doing it. Well, guess what, the world doesn't work that way. Decent people will always try to prevent others from committing heinous acts and abortion definitely falls into that category.

If they had they're way it would be illegal to have more than one child.
But this is what gets me, I heard a story about a woman who left her baby left for dead in a dumpster, A Dumpster!?! After she already had it. Is that still her right to murder after it was already born?
Don't these people know that they can leave their child at a hospital if they can't or do not want to care for it?

I'm all for a ban on late term abortions, but the other items in this bill would effectively close almost every abortion clinic in Texas. That's where I call bs.

Well, with laws passed against abortion. The numbers would fall quite a bit from the murder-fest that is currently going on today. Remember Obama's statement, "But if we can save just one life..."
We could save millions of them.
