Before the U.S. Supreme Court hands down its ruling on partial-birth abortion this spring, it should take note of the evidence of little Amillia Taylor.
After less than 22 weeks in the womb, Amillia was prematurely delivered to her Florida parents last October. A typical newborn is born after 37 to 40 weeks.
Barely the length of a ball-point pen at birth, Amillia was not expected to live. Now, five months later, she is scheduled for release from the hospital where doctors say her prognosis is excellent.
Expectant mothers are repeatedly told that the life within them is not a baby but a "blob of tissue." Advances in medical technology continue to move the point of viability, the point at which a baby can survive outside its mother's womb. This "blob of tissue" known as Amillia is taking regular feedings and will soon be sleeping in a normal crib.
While the Supreme Court routinely usurps the legislative branch of government and changes the law, it cannot change the facts. As this tiny baby testifies, life begins at conception--not birth. For more on this story read here.
