A Harsh Reality

The photo above is of a fetus at 15 weeks. Looks like a human being to me, not just a "collection of cells." There's a head, ears, eyes, a nose, a mouth, shoulders, a chest, a rib cage, arms, hands and legs, all covered with skin. Inside there is a skeleton.

Yet in today's New York Times, in an article about Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin offering voters an "alternative to MAGA," it reports that his agenda still contains "plenty of harsh conservative elements," like "his call for a 15-week ban on most abortions." That's harsh? 

In 1973 I went for an abortion at Planned Parenthood in Washington, D.C. and was literally kicked out the door when the doctor who was about to perform the procedure examined me and determined that the fetus was about 12 weeks old. Outraged, he literally yelled, "You've got a baby in there!" 

My, how times have changed.
