Furthermore…

Yesterday I was fortunate in seeing  on EWTN a new  video announced by Fr. Pavone of Priests for Life.  The part I saw showed closeup in color, in the womb, a live unborn child of 6 weeks development.  Captions and commentary  pointed out to the viewers the tiny brain, the beating heart, the eyes, the hands and feet, and other areas of the developing child as the camera seemed to move about and record the images from different aspects.  A sort of technical chart alongside the picture noted the stage of development and, I believe, other information.

Coincidentally, this morning I reported to the medical offices which serve me for a couple of ultrasound examinations.  As I lay on the examining table and chatted with the gentleman performing the tests I remembered and told him about the amazing video I had seen the night before.  I made a point of mentioning that they did state that it was not an ultrasound, but he could not believe that it would have been anything else but an ultrasound.   I left the offices hoping that he would look further into the nature of the process, if only for professional reasons.  I felt glad to have told someone in a timely manner of what I had witnessed, and I also mentioned that it would be widely distributed by the Pro Life community.
