Thanks for posting this. The issue of ultra-sound images helping folks to see the humans in the womb is, in my opinion, the main reason the state of NJ is trying to pass a law that ultimately will prevent pregnancy centers from being able to purchase those machines. As I type this I don’t know the status of the bill; I hope it has died in our lame duck session.
If this is true then you can count on ObamaCare not to pay for ultrasounds.
You mean that the Midtown Pregnancy Support Center is not an abortion mill in disguise? That’s refreshing!
I didn’t read the article, but from the title, that’s how I got of the fence and became pro-life.
I will tell what turned my opinion of indifference to taking a stand.
Seeing a baby in the womb from a fiber optic camera. At a few weeks old you can clearly see a baby.
Once I saw that my heart was changed that abortion is murder.

Thomas Jefferson capsulized a premise underlying our Declaration of Independence and the very premise of our constitutional protections: "The God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time: the hand of force may destroy, but cannot disjoin them." In other words, the life which is "created" cannot be separated from the liberty to live out and pursue happiness, except by its being destroyed.
For two hundred years this premise served as America's guard against tyrannical forms of government, as well as the tyranny of individuals who would seek to enslave people under the guise of "protecting" them.
John F. Kennedy's 1961 Inaugural Address included this assertion of that premise:
"The world is different now. . . And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forefathers fought are stil at issue around the globe--the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God."
Since that 1961 assertion, however, a more subtle test of that premise has been laid before us. At the time of Kennedy's Inauguration and before, life, rights and liberties for individuals were assumed to be viable and possible only after a seven- to nine-month period in the womb of the mother. Most citizens never saw a few-weeks-old human being. Only a few medical people were privy to that, and human knowledge had not yet developed the science for preserving and protecting those babies after only a few weeks.
Science and technology of the last few decades have opened to our view the earliest stages of human development, however, and we are no longer ignorant of the possibilities of the human being that has developed for only a few weeks.
It's as if God saw the semantic shenanigans of those would undermine America's very foundations and revealed just enough of his miraculous creation of life in the womb to leave bare their sinister intentions.
Call it "technology," or call it "Divine Providence," but whatever it is, it seems to be turning the tide of public opinion away from the wanton annihilation of millions of young lives. That's is "good."
