Those who justify the murder of unborn children have a number of things they refer to the unborn child as so as to dehumanize the murder. Fetus (which is technically correct), product of conception, and glob of cells are just some of the things words people use to justify the barbaric act of abortion. Unless, of course, a pregnant woman is murdered. Then she and her unborn child were victims of the murder. I guess under the woman’s right to choose, if she chooses to abort it is a product of conception and if she chooses to have it, it is an unborn child. While there are still many people who believe it is OK to abort right up until seconds before birth (partial birth abortion), a lot of abortion advocates think that it is OK if the [fill in euphemism here] can not survive outside the womb. This is ridiculous because the whole process is designed so that the child is dependant on the mother to grow and be born. In any event, there is a child who survived being born earlier than any other.
A premature baby that doctors say spent less time in the womb than any other surviving infant is to be released from a Florida hospital Tuesday.
Amillia Sonja Taylor was just 9 1/2 inches long and weighed less than 10 ounces when she was born Oct. 24. She was delivered 21 weeks and six days after conception. Full-term births come after 37 to 40 weeks.“We weren’t too optimistic,” Dr. William Smalling said Monday. “But she proved us all wrong.”
Neonatologists who cared for Amillia say she is the first baby known to survive after a gestation period of fewer than 23 weeks. A database run by the University of Iowa’s Department of Pediatrics lists seven babies born at 23 weeks between 1994 and 2003.
Amillia has experienced respiratory problems, a very mild brain hemorrhage and some digestive problems, but none of the health concerns are expected to pose long-term problems, her doctors said. Breitbart
This little girl seems to be more than a product of conception or a glob of cells and she sure looks very much like a human being. Maybe her birth will shed light on those who think it is OK to murder the unborn.
