Delivered and SAVED and ALIVE.

If Gov. Northham ( a Pediatrician ) had his way, it would have been up to the mother if she wants to save the baby.

Amazing. He could live for a month or more - gain five pounds or more - and still be legally aborted in Virginia or New York.

Numerous studies of low birth weight babies show that these kids tend to do very poorly as they grow up.IIRC academic achievement tends to be poor as do various behavior parameters.I believe it’s thought that problems with brain development,in utero as well as after birth,are the main cause.

He survived. I bet that ticks off this demon.

Amazing how the Cuomo demon looks so similar to the Exorcist demon.

I just watched this video by Steve Crowder this morning, undercover video of an abortion clinic, you may be interested in.

Flat line at the end is pretty emotional for me.

A child sacrifice escaped a hacked-off Molochian.

During WW2, the Japanese were killing Americans (and others) for sport - now the Democrats are into killing babies for sport, while the Japanese are doing everything humanly possible to save babies. Societies change, I guess.

Bigger babies than this are routinely murdered, so that politicians can keep getting money and votes from feminazis.

A mere 24 weeks.

More detail here from the Japan Times, the English language of Asahi, one of Japan's leading daily newspapers, which is considered left of center.

FWIW, Japan bans abortion after five months. The tone of their article is pride in their medical system to be able to save a baby so young, especially a little boy who have much lower premature survival rates than little girls.

SO? “IT” should just be “killed”! Not “worth” all the trouble?

Maybe we should test all kids at, let’s say 5 years old?, and “kill” all the ones whose “achievement tends to be poor or show sub standard various behavior parameters”? /s

Life begins at conception, not deniable, a proved scientific FACT!

Taking of an innocent life is MURDER! Not to mention a “SIN”.

Britain would have forbidden any help for the baby, America would have killed him once he was born. Lucky to be in Japan.

It’s the inevitable result of materialist technocracy. The prime example of which was eugenics. A pseudoscientific theory falsely considered “settled science” that led to the slaughters of millions. And still does today though they use other words besides eugenics. Like “choice”. Or especially “studies” like the one you responded to. Pseudoscientific statistical number crunching. The Professions are full of it.

Firsdt of all I didn't say "invariably". Second,I get this info from,among other places,several senior staff OB/GYNs at the world's most famous OB hospital.

(hint: it's in Boston)

Nope...never said that..never suggested that.The *only* thing I was suggesting was that this child may very well have a difficult life.

No, I dont think that this is what is being said.

I would not intervene in such a pregnancy, but instead let nature take its course.

Stanford Medical School has weighed in on the subject.This piece suggests that Winston Churchill (if he weighed mere ounces at birth) is very much the exception to the rule.
