Fetal Development at 19 Weeks
At 19 weeks of pregnancy, the fetus is about the size of a mango, measuring around 6 inches long and weighing approximately 8.5 ounces. Here are some key developmental milestones at this stage:
Size and Growth: Length: 6-7 inches and Weight: 7-8.5 ounces.
Movement and Senses:
The fetus is actively moving, kicking, and punching.
It can hear sounds and may start to respond to familiar voices.
Its eyes are developing, but they are still closed.
The fetus can taste the amniotic fluid.
Organ Development:
The lungs are developing, but they are not yet mature enough to breathe independently.
The heart is fully developed and pumping blood efficiently.
The kidneys are producing urine.
The teeth buds are forming under the gums.
Skin and Hair:
The fetus is covered in a white, waxy substance called vernix caseosa, which protects its skin.
Fine hair, called lanugo, is growing all over the body.
Other Developments:
The fetus is starting to accumulate brown fat, which will help it regulate its temperature after birth.
The mother may start to feel the fetus’s movements more clearly.
“What is ROE?”
As in Jane Roe. ROE vs Wade
“Whole story sounds like AI spewed it from the DNC.”
Over the past several years I’ve posted a bunch of stories of women complaining they had to leave Texas to abort their disabled baby. There have been several although I admit I don’t remember this woman.
OMG.
An emergency abortion is legal in Texas. This article is a lie.

LIFE, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness”.

I read that somewhere...
It looks like there is a slightly higher risk of IVF babies having these sorts of issues:

The Democrats are demonically clever when it comes to abortion.
One of the reasons they push abortion so hard is because of the damage it does to women mentally and emotionally
Abortion separates women from many different aspects of their previous, pre abortion lives and leaves them with a void that Democrat politics fill and a sense of guilt and remorse ( often deeply suppressed- even from themselves) that makes them easy to manipulate and organize.
I avoid the topic of abortion like the plague because between 25% and 35% of American women have had an abortion which is a stunning number and you have no idea who may or may not have had one
It is my personal opinion that the lingering emotional and mental pain and feelings of guilt of abortion , suppressed or otherwise, is a huge factor in the decline of our culture over the last 50 years since Roe v Wade
Abortion colors the lives of women in ways even the women who have had them don’t fully realize and Democrats have invested massive resources researching how to figure out ways to exploit them for political gain and to further the democratic agenda
I also suspect that the decline in religious beliefs, church attendance and cultural decline may be at least partially a consequence of the lingering after effects of abortion. Same with alcohol and drug abuse
And not just women either. For every woman who has had an abortion there is a man. A lot of men are never even aware that a woman they were involved with have had an abortion but those that are aware are also impacted
One thing is for certain - Democrat politicians love to stir the pot with abortion rhetoric that embraces abortion survivors and makes them feel welcomed and at home in the Democrat party and forces Republican/conservative politicians and media people to respond with their own rhetoric that condemns and alienates women (and men) who are abortion survivors.
I cringe every time a conservative politician or activist loudly proclaims that abortion is murder ( even if it may be the truth) because of the effect it has on the multitude of women who have had one.

She’s weird lookin
Barf...
Well said.
Well said.
I had the same thought, but I guess such ghouls do exist.
Of course, there was no consideration of adopting a baby that might otherwise be aborted. The need to preserve their genetic line trumps the lives of the innocent unused embryos that are discarded as well as the life of the child they could have adopted and raised. But pride overwhelms love. What a nasty world we have created.
You have no idea what adoption is like do you?
For every baby there are couples lined up around the block to adopt them. Toddlers the same thing.
And at any point in the process that takes years the parents can change their mind and you lose your kid.
It can even happen after adoption as a man claiming to be the father comes out and says that he was not properly notified and so your adoption is void.
The adoption process is a mess in this country.
Yes, 5 months is far along in a pregnancy.
You wanted those of us who had babies to take a look at the size of her belly. I posted that it looks about 5 months to me.
