Study: Babies Cry in the Womb

CHARLOTTE, North Carolina, August 26, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A
new study has revealed that unborn babies cry within the womb.
Ultrasound videos taken of infants within the womb revealed 28-week-
old babies crying in response to a noise stimulus.

Scientists played a 90-decibel noise to the unborn child, roughly
the equivalent of a tummy rumbling, and recorded the effect the
noise had via ultrasound. "It was strikingly like an infant crying,"
said New Zealand pediatrician Ed Mitchell, who contributed to the US
study, according to New Zealand's The Age. "Even the bottom lip
quivers."


Up until now, it was known that infants born very prematurely at 28
weeks could cry, but it was believed that the infant only cried when
air had entered the lungs after birth.


The findings, published in the journal, Archives of Disease in
Childhood – Fetal and Neonatal Edition, reinforce the fact that
babies experience pain and discomfort well before many abortionists
claim. "We actually still do things to babies without anaesthesia,"
professor Mitchell added. "Maybe this is a wake-up call to
obstetricians and neonatologists."
