Incredible Video of 8-Week-Old Unborn Baby Shows You Just How Wrong Abortion Is

By SPUC
Life News

A video of an eight week old unborn child who had to be removed because of an ectopic pregnancy is illustrating the humanity of the unborn child and that even an early abortion takes a human life.

The video was originally shared two years ago by Jonathan Van Maren, communications director for the Canadian Centre for Bio-Ethical Reform, but it is now gaining more attention through the Nurses&Midwives4Life Ireland Facebook page.

Warning: Viewers may find this upsetting:

It shows the tiny unborn baby, who was only about eight weeks old, moving its arms, legs and head. Tragically, the baby will not have survived – he or she started growing in the mother’s fallopian tube – a situation where the baby cannot survive and which is potentially fatal for the mother. In traditional medical ethics, removing a damaged follopian tube (containing an embryo that sadly will not survive) with the intention to save the mother is allowed under the principle of double effect, and is not considered an abortion.

According to comments on the original video, the parents of the baby wanted the video posted to help in the fight against abortion, and to show that the baby they tragically lost was not a blob of tissue.
Young babies are people too

The images are particularly powerful as they are of a baby in the first trimester – the time when babies are commonly dismissed as “clumps of cells” or “not a baby yet”. It’s also when the most abortions happen – in 2017, 77% of abortions took place at 3-9 weeks gestation, and 13% at 10 to 12. While late term abortions are generally seen as particularly barbaric and upsetting, pictures like these show that younger babies are equally living, moving humans whose lives are ended by abortion.

Michael Buble Joins Down Syndrome Kids for Heartwarming Rendition of ‘All I Want for Christmas’

By Calvin Freiburger

Life Site News

A viral video of children with Down syndrome singing a Christmas classic is making the rounds and raising appreciation for their intrinsic value, this time with some surprise star power behind it.

Wouldn’t Change a Thing is a group dedicated to a “world where negative perceptions of Down syndrome are a thing of the past” through articles, speaking to the press and various organizations, highlighting positive stories from Down families, and videos that appeal to mass audiences while challenging popular assumptions.

The group’s most recent project collects videos of 25 families of kids with Down syndrome, singing along to Michael Buble’s rendition of “All I Want for Christmas Is You” as well as performing the lyrics with sign language. Last week, the group of kids and parents appeared on the British ITV talk show This Morning, complete with a surprise appearance by Buble himself.

“When I heard that Wouldn’t Change a Thing had chosen one of my songs to sign to, I was really moved by it,” the artist said. “It’s absolutely beautiful.”

The video begins as a montage of the individual families’ videos, then transitions halfway through to the This Morning set, where the children are brought in to watch the lighting of several Christmas trees and eventually sing and sign all together with the hosts.

Co-host Rochelle Humes apologized for tearing up during the segment, The Mirror reported. "It's just so lovely,” she said. The Mirror noted that the segment elicited a powerful response on social media, as well.

The video “has me crying into my porridge. As someone who cares for an adult with DS, this is SO important,” one viewer said. “Excuse me while I wipe my tears off my sleeve,” another asked.

Still more audience members endorsed the “beautiful” segment for having them “absolutely sobbing” and congratulating everyone involved for “magical stuff.”

Buble himself opened up this fall about a challenge in his own family, his five-year-old son’s two-year battle with liver cancer. Noah, the oldest of Buble and wife Luisana Lopilato’s three children, is said to face a long recovery but is doing well.

"When this all started, I became the strength to somehow pull us and lift us and be positive," the singer said in October. "When the chemo was done and they said, 'We did it,' 'We're good, he's OK,' I just fell. My wife picks me up now."

"We took it day by day," he explained. "We all moved and lived by (Children's Hospital Los Angeles) and we just had the best doctors. God, thank you Jesus Christ."

‘Calling Off the Abortion’: Single Mom Shares How Her Video Saved a Life

Jordan Encourages Fans to Use Social Media... 

 For Good...As She Did By Sharing Christian’s Story

By Danny David
Live Action News

As Live Action News previously reported, vlogger Jordan Cheyenne’s son Christian – who spent 100 days in the NICU after being born at just 24 weeks and weighing a single pound — is the joy of her life. Single mom Jordan’s story has already led to at least one life being saved, she says in a recent video.

Jordan explains how she had talked on video about life as a single mom. Towards the end of the video, she answered a question on how to recognize real love. In answering this question, Jordan says she immediately thought of Christian, now 4-1/2 years old, healthy, and very active (as can be seen in some of Jordan’s videos and in the photo at the top of this article). She says she knows that real love exists because she had a child and felt a kind of love that surpassed anything she’d felt before — the “purest form of love.”

Shortly after posting this video, Jordan says she received a message from a woman claiming that the video had saved a life. Jordan was initially confused, not sure how her video could have accomplished that. But as the woman continued, Jordan was deeply moved.

The woman explained that a friend of hers was pregnant; the father did not want the baby and was pressuring her to abort it. The woman said she sent Jordan’s video to her friend. The friend reportedly changed her mind and chose life after hearing about Christian and how much of a positive impact he has on those around him and the love between Jordan and her son. 

The friend reportedly said the deep love Jordan described having for Christian is a feeling she doesn’t want to miss out on, leading her to abandon her plans to abort her baby.
