Have You Seen Them?
Whoa! I walked by a large framed picture in my doctor's office today. There were about 40 little photographs of babies, but wait, were they? Little bronze babies? Looked a little like baby Oscar statues in fetal positions. Oh, right, fetal positions.

They were fetal images made by the newest 4D sonogram technology. I'm tempted to link a photo here, but if you want to see one, a quick Google search using the keyword phrase "4D sonogram" will bring a long list for your viewing pleasure. The quality is absolutely unbelievable!

A few weeks ago, I saw an interesting chart in the Denver Post displaying several columns and rows of heart attack risks and remedies. (My apologies for not remembering the exact info.) The point was if your cholesterol is xxx, you need this amount of exercise to avoid problems. In other words, there was no hyper "we're all gonna die from fat consumption!" The chart simply gave you offsetting remedies for your specific risk factors. I noticed how positively I responded to the approach. (If I dig up the chart, I'll update this entry.)

How I wish we would use information more often to explain our prolife position instead of the typical emotionally charged phrases, such as "murdering babies.". Of course, there are other points to the debate besides how the fetuses look, but the visual impact of these 4D sonograms is certainly powerful. Anyway, this type of picture will save a thousand words in your next "blob of tissue" debate.

Abortion is a medical procedure and the patient should have all of the available information before making an informed choice.
