This one is a bit more graphic as it was taken during fetal surgery, but breathtakingly moving:
Beneath the fist-size incision lay Abigail, face down, with part of her back showing, and the spina bifida lesion exposed. Bruner's colleague, Dr. Noel Tulipan, continued. Using delicate and precise instruments, he lifted the tissues surrounding the baby's lesion and carefully closed the hole with tiny stitches. Then Dr Bruner stepped up to close the uterus. A photographer captured this amazing moment, as the baby's tiny hand appeared to be reaching out to shake Dr. Bruner's hand. After gently replacing Abigail's arm, the surgeon sutured the mother's womb and the amniotic fluid was reinjected. The uterus was then pushed back into its home within Kelly's abdomen.The participation in the SF 'Walk for Life' is impressive! Perhaps the times are indeed changing for the better as we near another anniversary of the horrible SCOTUS decision regarding a supposed right to 'privacy' that is responsible for thousands upon thousands of deaths. It's very heartening to see the photos.
