And this is all the result of random chance evolution. Right.

Even more exciting, if considerably more controversial, is the understanding that embryonic cells harbor untapped therapeutic potential. These cells, of course, are stem cells, and they are the progenitors of more specialized cells that make up organs and tissues. By harnessing their generative powers, medical researchers believe, it may one day be possible to repair the damage wrought by injury and disease.! (That prospect suffered a political setback last week when a federal advisory committee recommended that embryos be considered the same as human subjects in clinical trials.)

Notice he eclamation point. Notice also that there is no mention of the possible effect the new technology might have on the abortion debate.

I am sure this has been mentioned, but...

I was astounded by the slight-of-hand in the caption of the baby. The Caption reads:
At eight months, the baby gets ready for its grand entrance into the world

This would lead one to believe that this is an eight month old fetus in the picture. That is a four month old fetus. While, I guess, this is not technically a lie, it is at least an inappropriate caption. More probably, they didn't want the Time soccer-moms to be faced with the truth of what is routinely aborted.

"Such images of life stirring in the womb--in this case, of a 17-week-old fetus no bigger than a newborn kitten..."

Why do some people, who would never do anything to harm a kitten, advocate the murder of human? All that killing wrapped up in the "right to choose." I'll never understand it.

The utter complexity of life; the magical way in which it all works has lead me to absolute faith in a higher power. There's no way everything was just an accident.

Antiabortion activists may interpret them as evidence that a fetus is a viable human being earlier than generally believed, while pro-choice advocates may argue that the new technology allows doctors to detect serious fetal defects at a stage when abortion is a reasonable option.

Gee, I wonder if they are biased a bit!

I read this article and then went to bn.com and ordered the book. It's $40, but I think worth it. I'm pregnant with my fourth baby and we have Nilsson's book "A Child is Born" which I love, and I used it to show my older children how the baby is growing at each stage. I think this new book will be great for them as well, and me too!

Don't confuse the pro-baby murder crowd with the facts, Dallas!
