Of course unborn babies perceive the world consciously while in the womb. You needed a current scientific magazine article via research to know this, understand this, believe this? Really?

What do you think is going on within a woman from the instant a sperm penetrates an egg and CONCEPTION — LIFE BEGINS!?  This isn’t make-believe, or make up whatever you want, what makes you feel good and subscribe to that no matter how incorrect what you’re believing is.

As a mother moves, sounds from the world, what a mother eats, drinks, sounds of voices, conversation, and music ARE ALL HEARD, PERCEIVED, KNOWN by the growing living human child in the womb.

How dull and lacking perception can anyone be to not know this, understand this, or believe this?

Attempting to create your comfortable world wherein you have approved and sanitized the premeditated murdering of tens of millions of human children does not remove the facts, the reality, and the truth.

No matter how lost, deluded, or falling deeper into the abyss of evil and darkness a person attempts to enter.

You know in your heart, in your mind, in your soul that what is taking place within a woman from the moment of conception is the growth of living human life. As that individual soul develops that child can certainly perceive the world outside the womb.

Loud noises, classical music, soothing sounds, movements of every kind, if a mother gets high, drunk, smokes, or eats something disturbing all those things impact, affect, have a consequence, an action, a direct response within the child alive and growing, responsive in the womb. A living CONSCIOUS human child it certainly going to perceive the world outside the womb.

Do you believe the following?

And it happened, when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, that the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.

Luke 1:41

This truth, this reality occurred, oh, about 2,000 years prior to the recent New Scientist Magazine article.

Granted, this verse pertains to a very historical and special moment in world history — the child John the Baptist hearing Mary’s voice, as the child in Mary’s womb was none other than God come to earth taking on flesh to be born fully truly a man, fully truly God. But ALL children in EVERY womb perceive the world around them, outside the womb. They hear. They feel. They are beginning to think. To perceive.

Do you doubt this? Why? What has you so dull of reason, thought, logic, perception, awareness, and understanding truth, life, and reality? Only the constant vomiting of lies from media, politicians, so-called experts, teachers, professors, and others soaked in evil, weighed down by lies, living in utter darkness could be the source of your beliefs contrary to reality, logic, perception, and reason.

Begin to think, really think, using the brain God blessed you with or continue on eating and drinking of the rubbish those mentioned in the paragraph above have fed you, continue to feed you.

Do you need some scientific research to tell you how human children in the womb perceive the world? To finally believe and shed the scales from your eyes, the shroud of lies and deception from around your heart, the darkness that consumes your mind.

The question is then asked, in the article below; “What does this mean for abortion?”

Probably nothing at all. The premeditated murder of children will go on. Very few folks who align themselves with the so-called pro-choice [pro-murder of children] movement will lever have a change of heart and come out from the darkness and evil residing within them to come into the light, truth, and understanding they should.

Evil has a death grasp upon them. They are enslaved to the lies and delusion. The idolization of self, of a godless world, or a world of many false gods, and most are unlikely to ever come out from that prison of spirit and soul [mind].

Don’t allow evil, the words, lies, deceptions, delusions of the world and he who has dominion here for a season have a death grip on your heart, mind, spirit, soul and life. Do not conform to the world.

Because even the world must acknowledge, and admit, that they know what life it is within the womb of a human woman. Although they bury this truth, this knowledge so they can continue to serve Satan rather than serving the Lord.

Do not be among their number.

Be among the remnant. Repent. Turn to God. Fully and faithfully. Turn to Jesus. Completely wholeheartedly. Turn to the Holy Spirit for instruction, reproof, guidance, comfort, help, and discernment. Turn to the Holy Bible to hear God’s will, to know God, to know Jesus and the truth.

Unborn babies perceive the world consciously

 

What does this mean for abortion?

A 2024 article in New Scientist magazine had an intriguing article about babies before and after birth.1 The author is Claudia Passos-Ferreria, professor of bioethics at New York University. She documented that they can react to some surprising stimuli similarly to conscious adults.

For example, if we hear a repetitive sound, e.g., “be-be-be…”, we would expect the next sound to be the same, “be”. But if it is instead different, e.g., “bo”, it is startling—a “local oddball” reaction. The brain reacts with an electrical signal called the P300 wave. In fact, sleeping, unconscious, and even comatose adults can produce such a local oddball reaction.

And if we hear a more complex pattern, e.g., “be-be-be-bo” several times, then we start expecting that whole pattern. So if it deviates to “be-be-be-be”, we are again startled—a “global oddball” reaction. The brain again reacts with a P300 wave. In adults, a global oddball reaction occurs only when they are conscious. It is used to test consciousness in patients who can’t respond orally.

In the research that Passos-Ferreria refers to,2 neuroscientists discovered that newborn babies had both local and global oddball reactions. So did unborn babies at 35 weeks.

These results have implications for the care of babies. E.g., if they are conscious, they can feel pain, which means that they might need pain relief for some surgeries or difficult childbirths.

Implications for abortion

While the article treated it as news, baby consciousness is hardly a new discovery. In fact, the same magazine back in 2010 proposed, “Unborn babies may ‘be planning their future’”.3 New Scientist is known for its Christophobia in the last few decades, so it’s not surprising that both articles tried to dismiss the abortion connection.

Passos-Ferreria gave one wrong reason: the age of the baby. She is right that most abortions occur before 35 weeks, so she argues that this research is irrelevant to the abortion debate.

Not so. Actually, many politicians and activists demand abortion right up to birth for any reason, at taxpayer expense. One Virginia politician, Kathy Tran, proposed an abortion bill and was explicit about this. In response to a question:

“So where it’s obvious that a woman is about to give birth, she has physical signs that she’s about to give birth, would that still be a point at which she could still request an abortion if she was so certified? [pause] She’s dilating?”

Tran responded:

“… My bill would allow that, yes.”4

Later, Tran claimed she ‘misspoke’. But her words were clear, and unfortunately, she is not alone in her views.

In truth, many soi-disant bioethicists support both late-term abortions and infanticide after birth. They reason from the true premise that the birth canal is not a magical device that transforms a clump of cells into a baby.5 Pro-lifers make the correct deduction from this premise that unborn babies have as much right to life as those already born. Such reasoning has convinced even secular people to become pro-life, e.g., the group Secular Pro-Life and Nat Henthoff (1925–2017).6 However, many ‘bioethicists’ make the horrifying opposite deduction: since we allow unborn babies to be chopped up, why not newborns as well since there is no difference?

But Passos-Ferreria was also right, but not for the reasons she thinks. Rather, even if babies were not conscious, it would be wrong to kill them. This is for the same reason it is wrong to kill an anesthetized adult patient who lacked the global oddball reaction. That’s because murder—intentionally killing innocent human beings—is wrong. That’s true whether the human is an adult or unborn.

The same applies to arguments about unborn babies feeling pain: yes, they do, but even if not, it would be wrong to kill them. Once again, the same argument applies to anesthetized adults who can’t feel pain.

Conclusion

This new evidence reinforces the overwhelming scientific evidence for the humanity of the unborn. Such evidence can show some people that unborn babies really are human beings, so they should be protected from murder. But others admit that babies are human beings, but don’t care.
