1) Blackmun lied in Roe when he said there was no medical consensus on when life begins in 1973. It's true that in older times there was no such consensus, but after the development of the microscope, that issue was settled...

There was a Life magazine spread, sometime in the 60s, of a baby in the womb. They showed the little guy sucking his thumb and how his fingers and toes developed. It sure seems to me that it came out prior to RvW, do any of you remember the details of that absolutely amazing article?

RvW's "blob of tissue" was crap, even then. And they knew it.

Those were the Linnart Nilsson (I think that's the right spelling) photos. They were in a famous issue of Life magazine from 1965. The interesting thing is, no one protested or got upset about the photos in 1965, nor did anyone call the photos "propaganda".

Many pro-life websites and groups use those photos to this day in their materials. Of course, today they are considered "propaganda" by the abortion lobby. But they're actual photos of human development within the womb. They originally weren't even taken with the abortion controversy in mind (abortion was illegal in all 50 states in 1965).
