That has to be a record. My neice weighed 1lb. 10oz. She is now blind in one eye and has cerebal palsy, they say was caused from the light that was used in the 70's to treat preemies.

I wonder if liberals think this baby is small enough to abort. I'd be willing to bet that they would use a bass guage to determine it, if we let them.

No, it is alive because its out of the womb and we can see it. If I can't see it, and its in the woman's body, I can kill it.... /sarcasm

My paternal grandmother's third baby, born on a farm, in 1908.

No phone, no doctors, no midwife available.

The baby girl was so small, she fit completely in the palm of my grandmother's hand.

She kept the baby alive near the fireplace.

Sat by her side all day and night.

Grandmother's wedding ring made a bracelet for the baby. (My grandmother was a small lady.)

Fed her with an eyedropper, about every half hour.

The baby was nick named "Tiny," lived and grew into a lovely woman with two daughters of her own.

Wow, I'm amazed when a baby that tiny survives NOW, let alone the early 1900's... and without any medical intervention. That's a really cool story. Thanks!
Merry Christmas.

Yet people like Nancy Pelosi want abortion on demand up until labor. Sickening. Says alot about the people of San Francisco.

the media is still calling the baby cut out of that woman's womb in Missouri a fetus. Even though it has clearly been a baby for several days now.

One twin weighed 8.6 oz and the other weighed 20 oz at birth. I suspect the smaller twin survived at that weight because she was farther along developmentally than most 8 oz babies. There may have been a circulation problem between the twins, with one getting more at the expense of the other.

It was a baby when it was in the womb, and it's still a baby now. The only difference is the baby's environment has changed. I get so sick of hearing the MSM talk about a growing fetus as it's nothing more than organ tissue.

Any woman who has carried a baby to term knows what's growing inside her. Any man who has ever put his hand on a pregnant woman's tummy and felt the baby kick has to know it's a person in there. When was the last time you felt your liver kick?
