Stunning new technology allows parents to hold a life-size model of their unborn child
If the newspapers in Poland would pick this up . . . there would be fewer people believing the lie that "it's just tissue, it's not a real baby."

Amnesty International attacks Poland abortion policy
New York City, N.Y., Jun 27, 2009 / 05:04 pm (CNA).-
Amnesty International has continued its promotion of abortion with a report on the state of human rights which criticizes Poland for denying Polish women “access to abortion.” The organization’s actions could reflect its partnership with a pro-abortion group to redefine abortion as a “human right.”
The Amnesty International (AI) 2009 report’s entry on Poland cites May 2008 criticism of its abortion policy by the Human Rights Council, the Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute (C-FAM) reports.
Amnesty also criticized the Polish government for failing to implement the European Court of Human Rights’ 2007 ruling in the case Tysiac v. Poland, which declared a duty to “establish effective mechanisms for ensuring women have access to abortion where it is legal.”
The Tysiac v. Poland case resulted in a 25,000 Euro fine against the Polish government in favor of a severely myopic woman who claimed she would go blind if she could not get an abortion.
According to C-FAM, critics of the ruling say the woman’s claims were unsupported by the facts and the court ignored the opinions of eight experts, several of whom were medical specialists, who concluded there was no connection between her pregnancy and her condition.
Judge Javier Borrego Borrego of Spain wrote in his dissent in Tysiac v. Poland that the majority relied on the “isolated and muddled” opinion of a single general practitioner.
“By trumpeting decisions like Tysiąc and statements emanating from United Nations agencies to advance a global abortion agenda, Amnesty International has adopted a strategy originally spearheaded by pro-abortion public interest law firm Center for Reproductive Rights (CRR),” C-FAM charged in a Thursday press release.
Susan Yoshihara, a C-FAM official, reported that at the 2007 Women Deliver Conference in London, Amnesty International’s “reproductive rights” coordinator Stephanie Schlitt committed the group to partnering with CRR to make abortion recognized as a “human right” through litigation.
Yoshihara described Schlitt’s strategy as relying in part upon arguing that such a right could be found in existing human rights treaties. Even though such treaties are silent on abortion, she said, skillful advocacy could help sway United Nations officials and global jurists to recognize such a right.
Amnesty International, which was founded by a Catholic convert, took no position on abortion until in July of 2007 it began officially advocating for it as a “human right” in certain cases. The switch caused Catholics around the world, including some bishops, to cancel their membership in Amnesty.
C-FAM says that some critics see a growing trend of “human rights” groups seeking to impose abortion obligations on countries.
I had always assumed that NGO’s were nothing more than international political entities. Thank you Amnesty International for once again proving my, and others, thinking correct.
I guess according to Amnesty International, its a human “right” to destroy human LIFE. That’s right, we are denying those unborn children the right to be murdered.
Liberal/socialist world really is an Orwellian place.
go Poland!
There are times that I pray God will end abortion. All He has to do is cause every woman (and man) on the side of murder to be unable to conceive.
“The Tysiac v. Poland case resulted in a 25,000 Euro fine against the Polish government in favor of a severely myopic woman who claimed she would go blind if she could not get an abortion.”
Uh....can someone clue me in on how being myopic and pregnant can make someone blind?
Otherwise, I can only conclude being “pro-choice” and European makes you stupid.
“We CARE about Human Rights! That’s why we think Poland should be killing more children!”
Poland is a Catholic country.Unlike in most countries,Poles take the word of God seriously.I’m shocked that “Amnesty International” wouldn’t support amnesty for unborn children in Poland and elsewhere.
Exactly. Liberals are so illogical and self-contradicting.
Like the U.N., Amnesty International is loaded down with a bunch of braindead freeloaders who are scared to death that someday they might have to get a REAL job in order to feed themselves.
Amnesty International?
For WHOM do they seek AMNESTY? — Mothers who wish to murder their children?
Those who worship the “Reproductive Rights” of women who wish to murder their children, would be more effective if they financed the sterilization of those women who do not wish to give birth.
Just spit-ballin’ here but maybe it has something to do with elevated blood pressure???
I know a lot of people who take an anti-abortion stance “with exceptions for the Heath of the Mother”. As this case may well prove, you can get a doctor to say most anything event when it is unlikely in the extreme.
I’ll never understand why liberals loathe unborn children so.
Here we have an organization, like NAZI Germany, telling people that it is okay to kill children. Amnesty International is a corrupt and unworthy organization that has its nerve to tell others that it is their right to kill. What a sick and twisted bunch of morons! Life begins at the moment of conception; why does the government or any organization have the right to destroy that life?
I don’t speak or read Polish, but I sent an email to a number of papers . . . in English . . . with the url for the story about Dr. Jorge Lopes’ invention for unborn babies to be seen as babies and not blobs of tissue.
Forgot to put USA on a number of the emails . . . did I say I was blonde?
Anyone know how to say “I’m innocent, I tell you, innocent” in Polish?
Thank you!
