The problem is... The pro-death crowd does not care if its a human baby.
They want to kill it anyway.
They know its a baby.

They always have known.

awesome. this sure beats those blurry black and whites we have in our scrapbook ;-)

Bump!

>>Does the baby's status change because the parents love him or her and want their child to be delivered safely so they can hold in their arms what the mother now holds in her womb?<<

According to the law, it's worse than that.

If your mother (not your parents) wants you dead, you die. Period.

I have the feeling that this "legal" reality is much more destabilizing, psychologically, than we have so far recognized.

It is not a coincidence that legal maneuvers to immunize women from the consequences of their actions (the 'battered woman" defense, in particular) have arisen after 1972. The Father G-d of the Old and New Testament was a Creator who did not allow us to kill each other. The Mother god of Roe v. Wade is Shiva under the mask, and we must be very, very careful not to displease her.

WOW!

What GE has done is made a difficult choice for women more difficult. Women who come into abortion clinics have already agonized for days if not weeks about whether to bring a child into the world, and forcing the woman to see the fetus will only make a difficult decision tougher.

If forced to see images, women will be forced to bear a great emotional burden for having an abortion. Society should be working to make it as easy as possible for a woman to choose to do what she chooses.

GE's product will lead to emotional cruelty against women. If a woman was pregnant because she was raped, for example, the image of her fetus will make her experience the rape all over again.

It's time for those who support women's rights to bring a national boycott against GE. GE is aiding those who want to bring women back to the dark ages.

(Okay, okay, now hold those flames. I don't believe a word of the junk I wrote in the top four paragraphs. I just wanted to give a taste of how leftists are going to argue this one.)

Very Awesome! This is the type of science that should be used to Constitutionally define when life begins. (at conception)! Then eradicate this moral disease called abortion from our laws and our culture.

I've seen this amazing commercial.

I asked myself "wonder which one of the parents said "the baby looks like me?"...so sweet.

buuuump!

[mafree]

Pro- life bump (I do like that commercial)

[onedoug]

Even the King Of Ping didn't seem to hit me with this one, so I'm really glad I got on your list. Thanks very much for the flag.

[dansangel]

Thanks for the ping. I haven't seen the commercial, but look forward to it. This is going to be "revolutionary" in more ways than one.

God Bless.

Phew....I was seriously worried.......

[Capt.YankeeMike]

you make a good "devils advocate" and i expect the left is already printing up brochures saying exactly what you postulated they would say. Good work, we need to be prepared to argue effectively from a position of knowledge and logic.....

[fnord]

click on the 'GE 4D Ultrasound Home' link at the top left. You can view the commercial there.

yes. it puts a human face on these precious babies... i hope they run these ads again and again and again...
further, i hope ge's product prospers, and 4D photos (animated gifs) are widely distributed.

this is not a subliminal message - it's visceral.

we more clearly see God's miracle that we knew all along - live and in color...
in other words, nope, that isn't just a inconvenient blob of protoplasm, it's a child - here, look.

[KDD]

please remove me from your ping list. I will continue to follow your posts through the search function.

Roe may not be felled in one swoop, however evidence like this will certainly increase public demand to push the time limit for abortion way back. The only way to achieve this now is a constitutional amendment or a change in the balance of power in the Supreme Court, and the latter will only be possible if the Senate goes back into Republican hands and at least one of the pro-"choice" justices is replaced.
