Newborns cry in native tongue

I don't see how this is really news. My wife is in week 36 of her pregnancy (I still can't bring myself to say "our" because she is the one doing all the work - I can't stand other men who say "we're pregnant") and we were advised to do things like let our dog bark (as if we could stop her) and don't be overly quiet - so that when she arrives she will understand those sounds and not be frightened when my dog barks at the air or will sleep through a vacuum cleaner, etc.

Is it unreasonable to expect that a baby starts forming or getting ideas of how to speak as soon as they start hearing - even though it's through a mother's stomach?

And with that, I'll just second what Mdavid said in his first post. I think he's dead on in his analysis

"What does this say about the humanity of the unborn?"

Precisely nothing.

Unborn children are also chemically affected by the mother's environment. Has anybody ever (a) denied this or (b) seriously imagined that it represents a stunning insight pro-choicers have somehow failed to notice?

And what's the difference?
