Let me set the record straight.

This picture came from Dr. Joseph's webpage.

It is not an abortion, the mother and child underwent surgery on her uterus to get to the child for a spina bifida disorder and after the incision was made, the baby saw the light and reached up and grabbed the surgeon's finger. The mother carried the baby to term and was named Samuel and had no neural tube defects.

This picture appeared in Newsweek and other national magazines and was in the running in one of those magazines for picture of the year. It was not reported much after that since the left-wing of the press did not want to show that a fetus is alive and has senses and reacts to seeing light, has the ability to grab something in the exterior and has full sensory perceptions.

The article in post #1 was written by Dr. Joseph.


Baby Samuel Reaching Out Of the Womb

http://hometown.aol.com/dfjoseph/babyhand.html


One of the most amazing photographs that you'll ever see -- is this picture of Samuel, a 21 week old baby boy, whose tiny hand reaches out of the womb and grabs the finger of the surgeon who was operating on him, as if to say, "thanks doc, you did a wonderful job." It should be seen by the WHOLE WORLD.


It happened when Dr. Joseph P. Bruner, director of fetal diagnosis and treatment at Vanderbilt University Medical Center was performing a cutting edge procedure on a 21 week old fetus.
Bruner and Samuel's parents hope the surgery will alleviate the effects of spina bifida, a disabling birth defect in one or two of every 1,000 babies born.


During the procedure, surgeons remove the uterus from the mother, drain the amniotic fluid, perform surgery on the tiny fetus, then put the uterus back inside the mother. The procedure took about an hour.
There are no words to describe this incredible photo. If this doesn't set the abortion industry and the pro-choicers back on their ears, then Heaven help us.


The defenders of a woman's right to have an abortion, if she so chooses, would have you believe that Samuel is nothing but a non-sentient blob of tissue. Never, again will the abortion clinics, be able to tell these lies to women who are about to have their unborn babies killed. It was almost as if Samuel was shaking the finger of the hand of the man, who was trying to save his life -- to thank him for his compassion and effort.


With all that open space, instead of grabbing for air, Samuel's hand, actually grabbed the surgeon's finger. In my book, this precious 21 week old creation of God is more sentient than those who advocate the proposition, that women should have the right to condemn their babies to death, if it would make their lives easier.


Would you believe that our past president, Clinton, twice, vetoed the ban on partial-birth abortions and is about to veto it again? The ban would have prevented doctors from killing babies, Samuel's age and even older, while they're being born. And let's not forget the Senators, who agreed with Clinton. Even if they don't believe in God, you'd think they would want it banned, just out of a sense of common decency. For a description of the procedure of a partial-birth abortion and what you should know about abortions -- click my articles on these subjects on my Home page.


Clinton and the liberal Democratic Senators, who voted Not to ban this barbaric procedure, say they would ban it -- if there was an exception that it could be done to preserve the HEALTH of the mother. There WAS an exception, that it could be done to save the LIFE of the mother, but this was not enough for Clinton and the Democrats.


What do you think Clinton is saying today with the knowledge that Samuel was born a healthy baby a few months ago? Samuel was blessed that he had a loving mother and father, or he wouldn't be with us today. He would have been killed because he was not perfect. It's a pity that it's the luck of the draw, that determines, if we live or die, when it should be in the hands of God.


To include a health exception is ludicrous and if inserted, would be the same as having NO ban at all. Doctors can easily get around it with no problem. Women's health could mean just about anything. They can even say, "doctor if I have this baby, it will make me nervous," or they can say, "It makes me ill to just think about this pregnancy."


Clinton and the pro-abortion Senators knew a health clause would make the ban useless. NOT one baby's life, who is destined for death by this cruel procedure will be saved. They want to make sure, that if a woman changes her mind late in her pregnancy and wants to kill her unborn baby -- that it would be a "legal killing." This is sick. Thus they have satisfied Planned Parenthood and all the other killing mills, as well as the Hollywood community, who supported them with millions of dollars for their campaigns.. Human lives sold for money. Maybe one of these days they'll satisfy GOD and not satan.


Before you contact me -- I know, there were three Republican Senators, who voted along with thirty-one Democratic Senators, to allow this gruesome procedure to continue. But as a whole, it would appear that satan has chosen The Democratic Party to do his dirty work. If anyone has another explanation for the disparity of the two parties, concerning the sanctity of human life and the reverence to God -- I beg you, please let me know.


It's the same old story. Thanks to satan's easy access to the minds of the liberal Democrats, we got the abominable Roe Vs Wade decision. Prior to that, they took prayers out of the public schools. These two decisions have given satan a smile from ear to ear and have brought our country to the brink of hell.


The declining moral values of the Democratic party, is the reason I became a Republican, years ago. I could see the handwriting on the wall. I will NOT be in a party that sees nothing wrong, if a woman wants to kill her unborn baby.


A party which sees nothing wrong with taking prayers out of the public schools and replacing them with condoms. If children don't learn right from wrong and the wages of sin at home -- that's just too bad -- has to be their mindset.


A party which didn’t think, that Clinton, using the Oval office for a motel for his adulterous affairs with a young intern on numerous occasions, obstructing justice and lying under oath are not impeachable offenses, ignoring The Federalist Papers, written by Alexander Hamilton -- Impeachable offenses are injuries done immediately to the society itself. Why can't Democrats understand that moral degeneracy IS INJURIOUS to a society?
