Children Have Memories

Even in the womb. From the Washington Times:

They weigh less than 3 pounds, usually, and are perhaps 15 inches long. But they can remember.

The unborn have memories, according to medical researchers who used sound and vibration stimulation, combined with sonography, to reveal that the human fetus displays short-term memory from at least 30 weeks gestation - or about two months before they are born.


"In addition, results indicated that 34-week-old fetuses are able to store information and retrieve it four weeks later," said the research, which was released Wednesday.

Not that this will matter much to the abortion crowd.

A call to NARAL Pro-Choice America for comment on the implications of the research were not returned.

Big freaking surprise there.
