Curiosity Before Birth

We know that baby's heart starts beating 18 days after conception. (Yes, that's 18 days, not 18 weeks!) We know that long before birth, the baby can move and feel pain, that he can hear and recognize mother's voice... And guess what - an unborn baby can also show curiosity towards the world around him.
During the surgery, doctors entered the amniotic sack using a kind of miniature "telescope." Occasionally, to their surprise, a fetus will actually grab on to the scope in the middle of the procedure.

"The fetus will reach up and wonder what this scope is," Moise said. "And even though his or her eyes are fused so they can't really see the scope, they'll grab the scope sometimes because it's an object in their cavity."
Surgeons aren't the only ones to notice the curiosity shown by an unborn baby. Abortion providers notice that too. Sometimes it even happens that a baby manages to grab an abortion provider by the finger during the so called "partial birth abortion". John-Henry Westen, the founder of Life Site News told us that story at the last year's pro-life conference.

"Partial birth abortion" means that the baby is being pulled by the legs until he's half-way out and then the abortion provider uses his scissors to break the baby's scull. But that time apparently he had pulled the baby too far, so the baby could get his hand out and grab his executor by the finger. The man's hand jerked, pulling the baby out completely. And the baby breathed. Yet in the eyes of the murderer wearing white robe, this baby was still nothing but a "blob of tissue". So he put the baby back in (as if that could make the baby "unborn again") and stabbed him with the scissors, taking away his life.

Curious or not, the baby was "unwanted" and that sealed his fate in the society of unchoice.
