Picture #2 The tiny hand of a fetus reaches out from a mother's womb to clasp a surgeon's healing finger. It shows a 21-week-old fetus in its mother's womb, about to undergo a spine operation designed to save it from serious brain damage (by the way, at 21 weeks old, this baby could still be legally aborted).
The tiny hand in the picture above belongs to a baby which is due to be born on December 28. It was taken during an operation in America recently. The baby is literally hanging on for life. For this is one of the most remarkable photographs taken in medicine and a record of one of the world's most extraordinary operations.
The surgery was carried out entirely through the tiny slit visible in the wall of the womb and the `patient' is believed to be the youngest to undergo it.

12/9/99 Dear Friends and Family,
Samuel arrived on Thursday, Dec. 2 at 6:25 pm at Northside Hospital weighing 5 lbs 11 oz and 20 1/2 " long. He was born at 36 weeks but came into the world screaming his head off! He did not have to spend any time in a neonatal unit and came home with us on Monday, Dec. 6. After viewing an ultrasound of his brain, Samuel's neurosurgeon was very optimistic as he does not have any hydrocephalus and the brain malformation has resolved. He is moving his legs very well from the hips and some from the knees. He was frank breech (folded in half) in the womb and the orthopedist feels that he has a good chance for walking. He will begin physical therapy next week in order to work out some of the stiffness in his legs that was a result of his being folded in half in the womb. He is also nursing very well.

Thank you all for your prayers and support. We are happier than we ever dreamed possible!

All our love,
Julie, Alex and Samuel Armas

Why don't you try reading the article again..

untill you get it thru your thick skull that this is a glorious occasion, this child is alive and kicking, through the Grace of God the Doctor operated on this baby to "save it's life" not to take it. You need to stop turning things upside down to suit your agenda! I think thie thread should be reposted and have you banned from posting on it.

Glory be to God! This Child is ALIVE!

(by the way, at 21 weeks old, this baby could still be legally aborted).

THIS IS WHAT COULD OF HAPPENED TO THIS CHILD, IT DIDN'T....

Tell that to Drudge. He lost his TV show because he wanted to use this pic to illustrate the REALITY OF ABORTION

Individuals may be silenced, but the Truth shall never be silenced.

Thank you for sharing your own personal opinion. May God Bless you abundantly.
