A new imaging technique goes far beyond conventional ultra-sound in revealing the early life of each of us in the womb. New images reveal babies “walking,” yawning, and rubbing their eyes in the wombs of their mothers.
More evidence upon more evidence for the humanity of pre-born babies.
Share it with your friends who doubt these points.

Jimmy was born in Texas, grew up nominally Protestant, but at age 20 experienced a profound conversion to Christ. Planning on becoming a Protestant seminary professor, he started an intensive study of the Bible. But the more he immersed himself in Scripture the more he found to support the Catholic faith, and in 1992 he entered the Catholic Church. His conversion story, "A Triumph and a Tragedy," is published in Surprised by Truth. Besides being an author, Jimmy is the Senior Apologist at Catholic Answers, a contributing editor to Catholic Answers Magazine, and a weekly guest on "Catholic Answers Live."

Cynics would point out that these same things can be observed in fetal apes and monkeys.
It doesn’t prove the humanity (or, rather, the “personhod”) of a fetus.
True, Eric, but somehow we never hear heated arguments as to whether a fetal chimpanzee (for example) is really a chimpanzee, or some other creature, or nothing at all.
That’s because nobody has an emotional investment in the question. But abortion enthusiasts (whether worshippers of convenience or eugenics) don’t want to say out loud, “Yes, it’s human, but we don’t want it, so let’s get rid of it,” so they pretend not to know if it’s really human.
Beautiful photos, BTW, though I wonder why they came out bronze-colored.
That is amazing.
Eric, personhood cannot be proved through pictures. It is determined by God.
“Eric, personhood cannot be proved through pictures. It is determined by God.”
That’s what Modernist Christians claim, and so they feel they have no right to impose their OPINION on God’s will on their fellow man. That’s how they justify legalizing abortion.
if you tried to abort fetal apes, the PETA types would be up in arms.
Save the baby humans!
