12 WEEK OLD BABY WALKS IN THE WOMB!
The BBC. Pip Pip Cheerio! ^

Scans uncover secrets of the womb

Baby 'walking' in the womb A new type of ultrasound scan has produced the vivid pictures of a 12 week-old foetus "walking" in the womb. The new images also show foetuses apparently yawning and rubbing its eyes.

The scans, pioneered by Professor Stuart Campbell at London's Create Health Clinic, are much more detailed than conventional ultrasound.

Professor Campbell has previously released images of unborn babies appearing to smile.

He has compiled a book of the images called Watch Me Grow.

Conventional ultrasound, usually offered to mothers at 12 and 20 weeks, produces 2D images of the developing foetus.

These are very useful for helping doctors to measure and assess the growth of the foetus, but convey very little information about behaviour.

Complex behaviour

More pictures of developing foetuses Professor Campbell has perfected a technique which not only produces detailed 3D images, but records foetal movement in real time.

He says his work has been able to show for the first time that the unborn baby engages in complex behaviour from an early stage of its development.

Professor Campbell told the BBC: "This is a new science for understanding and mapping out the behaviour of the baby.

"Maybe in the future it will help us understand and diagnose genetic disease, maybe even conditions like cerebral palsy which puzzles the medical profession as to why it occurs."

The images have shown:

From 12 weeks, unborn babies can stretch, kick and leap around the womb - well before the mother can feel movement

From 18 weeks, they can open their eyes although most doctors thought eyelids were fused until 26 weeks

From 26 weeks, they appear to exhibit a whole range of typical baby behaviour and moods, including scratching, smiling, crying, hiccoughing, and sucking. Until recently it was thought that smiling did not start until six weeks after birth.

An hour long session using the new technology, which is not yet available on the NHS, costs £275.

Thanks for the ping... amazing pictures. They need to be made into protest signs, not that the pro-aborts will care...

Consider instead...recording the ability to feel pain etc...using other means. Stimulation, needle prick (like that done in an epidural), pressure, tickling, etc...

Regarding your post #61: liberal democrat leadership doesn't care if the little ones feel pain because the Democrat Party has staked their empowerment on protecting the serial killing. Their ends (to get the votes of those who want the right to kill at will) always justify any means they can employ. The Democrat Party has become a ghoulish mutation of what it once was. And it will not change until voters remove them (the Harkins, Boxers, Kennedys, Feinsteins, Murrays, Daschles, and clintons, etc.) from office to start over with moderate Democrat candidates. The Pubbies have a few to be removed, also! People like Boxer, Kennedy, Lautenberg, Harkin, Murray, et al, aren't going to suddenly grow a conscience when they long ago destroyed for demonic empowerment the one God gave them. The Faustus story doesn't leap from the mind of Goethe as whole fiction, it's based on human nature, bankrupt human nature.

Our courts are insane.

From Judge Hamilton's ruling.

Planned Parenthood et al. v. Ashcroft

f. Maternal and Fetal Health Concerns Finally, plaintiffs presented evidence that for certain women or certain fetuses, an intact D&E may be the best option for their particular health situation. See, e.g., Tr. Vol. 11 at 1762:8-25 (Chasen, noting that intact D&E is the quickest and therefore the safest procedure for these women); see also Tr. Vol. 6 at 943:4-944:19 (government witness Bowes, testifying that doctors should be allowed to use their judgment in determining whether any particular procedure is in a patient’s best interest, including intact D&E).

I thought 12 week old fetus's were walking on the MOON.

It's a new baby dance call the "Womb Walk".

Amen. I pray, fervently, every day for such an outcome.

How people can continue to support such barbarity is beyond me.

You just GOTTA see the video if you haven't.

I was surprised - and glad - that the very end of the news segment said that this video is 'sure to open the public debate about abortion'.

It was also great to hear and see how excited both the MSNBC announcers and the BBC announcer were about these remarkable pictures.

I pray that the bubble of self-deception in the public mind about abortion is breaking.
