Baby Amillia Taylor of Florida has caused repercussions that are being felt around the world by surviving her early birth at 21 weeks gestation. According to an article from the Sunday Telegraph in the UK, reprinted in the National Post, February 26, 2006, Emily Newman also survived her birth at 22 weeks and is now a normal seven year old. These two little girls no doubt have many other companions who were born early and have survived. Doctors in the UK and hopefully in Canada and the US have had their eyes opened, and it is hoped that their decision not to resuscitate babies who are born before 22 week may be changed. “Dr. Bernard Nathanson, a former leading US abortionist, who by his own admission aborted more than 70,000 babies in his career, had his eyes opened when he watched unborn babies on an ultrasound machine,” said Jim Hughes, National President of Campaign Life Coalition(CLC). “He became an ardent pro-lifer and in the 1980’s produced two movies, ‘The Silent Scream’ and the ‘Eclipse of Reason’ which he felt would convince others to see the human baby on ultrasounds and stop committing abortions.” “The child in the womb is a human being from the moment of conception (fertilization) and deserves our protection as the youngest member of the human family,” said Mary Ellen Douglas, National Organizer of Campaign Life Coalition. “The terms of embryo, fetus, newborn, baby, toddler, child, adolescent, adult, senior citizen only denote stages of development for the individual person. We cheer for little Amillia and pray that her survival will open the eyes of all those who choose to deny the humanity of the child at any stage of development,” she said.
