Chorionic villus sampling (10-13th Week Of Pregnancy), and amniocentesis (14-24th Week Of Pregnancy) samples contain DNA from the foetus, and can also be analysed.

As far as the factors why abortion must be regarded as illegal are concerned, pro-life groups put forth numerous anti-abortion arguments to support their stand on this problem. In a broad sense, these arguments could be categorized into ethical, emotional and scientific/medical arguments. On ethical grounds they argue that abortion is wrong simply because fetus is an innocent human using the correct to live, which in turn implies that aborting a child amounts to murder. They also argue that pro-choice groups who deny that fetuses have life don’t value human life, as the fetus is but a possible human becoming with the future. Once again deciding on arbitrary characteristics ‘ that is as very good as giving many people a lot more rights than other people, amounts to unjust discrimination against the unborn.

This past Spring, my husband and I took our first vacation alone in over a decade. Having a few days together, knowing our kids were in good hands with my parents, was a gift for our marriage, yes, but it was also good for both of us as parents. We missed our kids, but he and I agree that we each needed that time ‘off.’ I think it will have proven to be a great help to us once the new baby arrives that we took the time while we had the opportunity to rest and recharge ourselves.

Like the ECHR, the EU law, as well as International law and customary international law, do not create any duty for the State to legalize abortion. Poland’s proposed law does not violate EU law, because EU law does not recognize a right to abortion. Moreover, the EU utterly lacks competence over the area of abortion, that is, member states of the EU have exclusive competence over whether or not abortion is illegal or legal within their territory. The Council of the European Union explicitly recognized the EU’s lack of competence concerning abortion stating that ‘The European Union treaties have not bestowed on the Community or the Union the competence whereby the Union could regulate on abortion. The Member States thus have the competence to regulate on this and ensure compliance in their territory with the laws that they pass.’ As well, a ‘right to abortion’ is not explicitly or implicitly mentioned in any binding U.N. human rights treaty. As the former executive director of the U.N. Population Fund observed, ‘We, UNFPA, are mandated to consider abortion within the context of public health, but never as a right, as some NGOs do. Abortion is a national issue to be decided by national laws and legislations.’.

Private blood banks collect and store cord blood for use by the donor or a family member if they have a condition that is treatable through cord blood cells. There is a charge for storing cord blood in these banks. The average collection fee ranges between $900-$2,000 with storage rates between $75-$100 per year. There are assistance programs available for families who need this option and are unable to afford the fees. Read more on Week Of Pregnancy
