Abortion: Human Gestation - 21 1/2-Week-Old Fetus

HUMAN GESTATION : 21 1/2-WEEK-OLD FETUS

Last Updated : July 23, 2006

Photographic evidence which proves that as early as six
weeks, aborted embryos / fetuses are NOT just unrecognizable
clumps of tissue as cold-hearted pro-abortionists and their
butchers claim, but rather, they are real, live human beings!

Kelly Thorman was born prematurely in 1971 at 21 1/2 weeks
after conception*. This picture was taken three weeks later.
Sadly, Kelly died of pneumonia (this is a particular danger
with premature babies). When she died, nobody said that
"part of the mother's body" had gone or that "the products
of conception" had disappeared.

Kelly was "wanted" and given the best available care, while
babies born alive in abortions who may have survived if
given care have been left to die - although at this stage
measures are often taken, and are recommended by the Royal
College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG), to
ensure the delivery of a dead baby.

With advances in technology and in understanding of human
fetal development, premature babies' chances of survival are
improving. The RCOG stated in Preterm Labour and its
Consequences (1985) that: "In 1984, 72 per cent of liveborn
infants of 22 to 27 weeks' gestation* born at the Bristol
Maternity Hospital survived, as did 64 per cent of infants
of 500 to 999 grammes birthweight."

These percentages had increased on those of previous years.

*Note: length of pregnancy is normally quoted from the time
of the mother's last menstrual period, rather than the age
of the baby from conception, which would usually be two
weeks less: i.e. 21.5 weeks after conception equates to 23.5
weeks pregnancy/gestation; 22-27 weeks gestation equates to
20-25 weeks from conception.
