A US boy born at 21 weeks and a day weighing under a pound has been certified as the world's most premature baby to survive.

Curtis Means was delivered in Birmingham, Alabama, last year weighing just 420g (14.8 ounces).

Guinness World Records confirmed that Curtis, who is now thriving at 16 months old, set the new record.

Naturally, there will be no mention of this on the nightly news as the left would only see Curtis as a missed opportunity for an abortion.

The Pro-Abortionists, usually the same ones who snobbishly deride their opponents as “anti-science”, are VERY uncomfortable with neonatology

Why do you say that?

Do you think that proabortion people are denying that infants in the womb are viable?

That stopped decades ago. They know the products of conception are human life. They know that viability happens earlier and earlier. It just doesn’t matter to them. Not a valid argument in their worldview.

They have made self actualization and choice the paramount issue.

Great post. That is the new belief. However, there are still some that claim viability, as they have not caught up with the latest. This baby is proof to those.
Self actualization.. 4d ultrasounds of babies sucking their thumb when they have no need to feed themselves. Or, babies responding to the sounds of moms mom’s heartbeat. I am glad for your post and the original post.
A thriving baby, laughing and lovong is a great wake up article.

I agree with you in that many Pro-Abortionists are increasingly open and brazen about saying their rights trump those of the child whose humanity they are weary of denying because they they think it makes them look unscientific and stupid. But I still come across SO MANY who make the “We just don’t know when human life begins” argument. As media censorship worsens, do not underestimate the number of people who don’t want stories like this reported because they know the powerful images wake a lot of people up to the humanity of the unborn child.

It's a heart warming article for us, but not a wake up article.

If the baby killers can abort a human when the nine month baby is fighting to get out of the womb, what the hell do they care about a 21 week old baby?

Life means nothing if it interferes with my right to choose my comfort and pleasure over a fussy, needy baby.

They choose pleasure over life, nothing to see here, move along.

Maybe so, but they've shapeshifted again. Now they say the baby is not a person until it's born so abortion isn't murder. Or something like that.

It was always my understanding that a baby’s life began at conception. A baby might never be viable if BORN at conception, but it is till a little life, precious in the sight of God.

My cousin was born 3 months early in 1949 and then the hospital burned down and they took her in the incubator out first. They thought she would be blind or deaf or mentally retarded. She survived and still lives. She is smart, beautiful and kind. She weighed 2lbs. 2oz. Kind of surprising for 1949.
