For those still undecided. Unborn baby at 5 months. From a book published in 1977.
It's a great topic for an article. Unfortunately, Barnes did a lousy job that would embarrass a moderately conscientious 16-year-old writing for a high-school paper.
It will hold no one's interest and will change few minds.
There is nothing new or interesting here, and the Weekly Standard, which is a serious journal, should not have run it even if Freddo is one of their big names.
I'd be interested in seeing a much more-depth, thought-provoking piece on this subject. All Barnes really did was say that some prominent people were converted to the pro-life cause, then tell his own not very intersting personal story.
Perfect down to fingernails and eye lashes...
I loved the picture that led to Drudge being "excommunicated" from TV -- the one with the unborn baby grabbing the physician's finger with his tiny little hand during surgery.
