After a day of arguing with people on social media about the humanity of the unborn human child, I thought I’d re-post something I wrote ten years ago. It’s still relevant, it’s still an issue with far too many people, and it still saddens my heart and boggles my mind that anyone doesn’t understand this, or, worse, that they deny it: a separate and distinct human organism with his or her own DNA begins at conception. But I’m not going to re-post what I wrote back then. In this brief post I want to share a 6-minute video showing the development of the human organism from beginning to birth. (Download this video for free, see links at the end of this post.)

“Welcome to the amazing world inside the womb where every tiny baby grows and prepares for life after birth. It’s also the place where bonding between mother and child begins and where each little one’s lifelong health is partly established.”

“As you might expect, a mom’s health and well-being are closely intertwined with the health and well-being of her child. With few exceptions, what is good for mom is good for her baby and what is good for her baby is good for mom. Likewise, what is harmful to mom is harmful to her baby and what is harmful to her baby is harmful to mom.”
