This YouTube video was posted by my nephew Ben – an aspiring musician and visual artist.  Ben’s stage moniker is BJSR – for [his initials].

A highlight of Monday’s ProLifeCon was photographer Michael Clancy explaining how his famous “Hand of Hope” photo of 21-week-old baby Samuel Armas came to happen in 1999, followed by now 12-yr-old Samuel and his mom Julie sharing their end of the story.

Michael and Samuel only get to see each other every 3-4 years, so that Family Research Council was able to  bring them together was special for all. Here’s a photo I snapped…

• Here’s the Washington Post’s coverage of the March for Life 2012.
• A utility worker in Fort Wayne found the remains of an unborn child while cleaning a pump station screen. The age of the child has yet to be determined. The article states between 10 and 25 weeks.

The “pro-choice” crowd isn’t very good at handling the humanity of abortion’s targets, or recognizing the choices of those who contemplated abortion, but decided to bring their children into the world.  They invest much effort in confusing the unborn with the unliving.  It is wise to mistrust an argument predicated on ignorance of the obvious.
