Samuel Dennis posted a comment on my earlier post, saying…

” The sight of a fully formed baby was a complete surprise to Williams [the woman who watched her live baby being being tossed into a rubbish bag after a botched abortion]. “I thought it would be a blob thing, but bigger, not a baby,” she said. ”

That anyone could possibly think a baby at 23 weeks would be “a blob thing” shows what disgusting lies these women are told by the authorities.

I helped out at a pro-life stall last year at the Christchurch A&P show, and we were showing life-size models of babies to people. Many were shocked how well developed the 12-week baby was [see the picture below], because of the misinformation you are fed these days. But for someone to think the same about a 23 week one means there has been some serious lying going on.

I too was struck by the comment that Williams made, and I wondered if this was an isolated case. However Samuel’s experience indicates that this is ignorance is probably widespread (without wanting to criticise anyone, do people think that a blob magically becomes a baby just before birth?). State education and health systems are usually pro-abortion so obviously they will try and tell people that an unborn baby is a ‘blob’ or a ‘piece of tissue’, whilst also hiding the visible humanity of the baby*.

One possible exception is Texas, which has the Women’s Right To Know legislation, and I have used the information and pictures from that website extensively. That website does not show the results of abortion: if you want to see that click here (warning: graphic images of babies that have been aborted).

How many people would be anti-abortion if they saw pictures and models of unborn babies?

Do you know of any examples of people thinking that an unborn baby is just a ‘blob’?

*this does not remove personal responsibility, i.e. people cannot entirely blame the state for their ignorance regarding babies and abortion, or any other subject. I am aware that obtaining information is difficult for some people.

• A moving story about a murdered baby…and one that was saved

This photo shows a live baby in the womb at 22 weeks of age. Sycloria Williams of Florida was 18 years old and 23 weeks pregnant when she went for an abortion.

Williams had what is basically an induced labour, and the baby was supposed to be still born. But there is a dirty secret in the abortion industry: a good number of late-term babies aborted this way are born alive and left to die. Sycloria delivered a live baby girl on a chair at an abortion clinic and watched her twitching, hissing (i.e. breathing*) daughter being put into a rubbish bag:

Williams said she stood against the wall, glancing in horror at her newborn baby. “She wasn’t moving much. Twitching, gasping for air. She wasn’t crying though, just hissing. Hissing sounds only.”

The sight of a fully formed baby was a complete surprise to Williams.

“I thought it would be a blob thing, but bigger, not a baby,” she said. “She looked like a Water Baby. Like those dolls you fill up with water. She was really little, like this,” she said, holding her hands about 12 inches apart.

(Water Babies are sold in stores such as Toys ”R” Us. A product description on the Toys ”R” Us online store reads, “Water Babies are water-filled dolls that replicate the warmth, weight and feel of a real baby.”)

According to the lawsuit and Williams’ recollection, Gonzalez, the clinic’s owner, who has no health care licensing, came into the waiting room, cut the umbilical cord, and scooped Shanice’s body into a red biohazard bag, sealed it and tossed it into a trash can.

The one that was saved

This photo shows shows surgery being done on Samuel Alexander Armas is 21 weeks old and he is grasping the surgeon’s finger. Here’s the photographer’s story:

As a veteran photojournalist in Nashville, Tennessee, I was hired by USA Today newspaper to photograph a spina bifida corrective surgical procedure. It was to be performed on a twenty-one week old fetus in utero at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. At that time, in 1999, twenty-one weeks in utero was the earliest that the surgical team would consider for surgery. The worst possible outcome would be that the surgery would cause premature delivery, and no child born earlier than twenty-three weeks had survived.

The tension could be felt in the operating room as the surgery began. A typical C-section incision was made to access the uterus, which was then lifted out and laid at the junction of the mother’s thighs. The entire procedure would take place within the uterus, and no part of the child was to breach the surgical opening. During the procedure, the position of the fetus was adjusted by gently manipulating the outside of the uterus. The entire surgical procedure on the child was completed in 1 hour and thirteen minutes. When it was over, the surgical team breathed a sigh of relief, as did I.

As a doctor asked me what speed of film I was using, out of the corner of my eye I saw the uterus shake, but no one’s hands were near it. It was shaking from within. Suddenly, an entire arm thrust out of the opening, then pulled back until just a little hand was showing. The doctor reached over and lifted the hand, which reacted and squeezed the doctor’s finger. As if testing for strength, the doctor shook the tiny fist. Samuel held firm. I took the picture! Wow! It happened so fast that the nurse standing next to me asked, “What happened?” “The child reached out,” I said. “Oh. They do that all the time,” she responded.

It would be difficult to be pro-abortion after witnessing that.

What a contrast: one room where babies are murdered, and another where they are saved. Which do you think would have the happiest atmosphere?

What are your reactions to these stories?
