(The Center Square) – In time for Mother’s Day, the Charlotte Lozier Institute on Thursday released an updated version of its Voyage of Life pregnancy resource that is packed with scientific facts about babies from fertilization to birth, stating that life begins at conception.
Executive director of the Charlotte Lozier Institute (CLI) Karen Czarnecki told The Center Square that “Voyage of Life stands apart by offering scientifically rigorous, medically grounded information on fetal development that is presented in an accessible way for a wide audience, from pregnant mothers and students to researchers and policymakers.”
