West Hollywood, CA, Jan 15, 2009 / 10:05 pm (CNA).- A new pro-life mini-movie showing the stages of development in an unborn child has been released by Catholic Media House.

The mini-movie, titled “The Miracle of Life,” asks the questions “When does Life Begin?” and “Do you know about the miracle of life?”

The movie also uses high-quality photographs of unborn life and ultrasound videos to humanize the unborn.

Using text captions, the movie explains how at conception, a baby’s physical traits such as sex, eye color, and hair color have already been determined. It adds that a baby’s heart starts to beat only 22 days after conception, “before most women even know they’re pregnant.”

Speaking of an unborn child, it says “by the 11th week, she can smile and frown, wiggle her fingers and toes, and even suck her thumb.”

But...but, it’s “just a collection of cells.” /s

The Catholic church is right on so many issues, foremost in my mind the Sanctity of Life. Surely this comes from God’s heart.The truth must be spoken,even if people don’t want to hear it.Kudos and thanks to Catholic News Media.

Using the Bible verses: Jeremiah 1:5, Psalm 139:16, and Psalm 127:3 together was the most powerful part of the film for me.

The Pro Life and Sanctity of Life movements are bringing Catholics, Protestants, and Orthodox together in common cause. From Eduardo Verastegui to Sarah Palin we should see some waves made during the first months of the new pro abortion president.

Several years ago PBS had a Nova program titled “Miracle of Life”. It showed the growth progress of a baby from conception to birth. It was fascinating. Wonder if they’d show it now in this day and time?
