[history]
Nearly 10 years after a stunning photograph of his tiny hand traveled the world, Samuel Armas has a firm grip on what "The Hand of Hope" means to him.
"When I see that picture, the first thing I think of is how special and lucky I am to have God use me that way," Samuel told FOXNews.com. "I feel very thankful that I was in that picture."

"It's very important to me," Samuel said of the photograph. "A lot of babies would've lost their lives if that didn't happen." There is no shortage of liberals who will spit on the ground and despise this lovely boy for entertaining that thought.
Hate-filled weirdos.

If I remember correctly, a dispute over this photo was the primary reason for Matt Drudge’s departure from Fox News.

What a great kid. I love his optimism and his spirit. I’m glad to know he’s proud of that picture...he’s right. It probably did convince many, many mothers against abortion.

It won’t make that much of a difference. Millions of pro-choicers are complete sociopaths. One cannot expect human empathy from the inhuman.

I wish they would have reposted the picture to go with the story.

Clancy, who was a freelancer for USA Today when he photographed Samuel's fully-formed hand, now works as a motivational speaker at pro-life events. Prior to the picture, Clancy said, he was pro-choice.
God works in mysterious ways.

That’s absolutely correct. He quit b/c Fox wouldn’t let him show the picture.
To: svcw
They did. There’s a selection of photos, and that’s the second. You just have to click on them.

Dr. Bruner was my son’s doc as well. Son was born at 27 weeks, 2lb 3oz. He turns 10 this month as well as Samuel.
Special boys, both.
