Much more heartwarming than when my Granddad used to say “Pull my finger”.

Never too early for the “pull my finger” joke.

That’s impossible. E’rybuddy knows a foetus can’t grab anything! /

Why isn’t the doctor doing his job and getting the baby out asap? Looks weird.

Hell, the kid’s not even out of the womb, and it’s first demand is for a helping hand!

This story captured my attention until I heard the child’s name was “Neveah” which is among the worst names around, IMO.

She was saying: “You, get me out of here; I need more room!”

Comment of the week, and it’s just Thursday.

The baby was trying to say, “I hope this isn’t Illinois!”

Oh, come on! Just reading that brought a tear to my eye!

In case you missed this photo of a 21 week old baby in the womb from 1999. He was having surgery to have a spina bifida lesion repaired.
Yes, doctors have been performing surgery on babies in the womb for years. Babies of the same age gestation are being killed by abortion in other places.
This photo is slightly bloody because it is surgery, so if you’re squeamish, beware.

The doctor later said that Samuel wasn’t anesthetized and so wasn’t grabbing his finger, but my point is the gestational age of the baby.
Other conditions are treated as well. I can’t remember the gestational age of the youngest.
Obama & the Dems are truly the party of death.

This is from 2005:
This surgery was done only three weeks before he was born, but remember this was 1981, 31 years ago.

From the article, if you had bothered to read it…the name is “Heaven” spelled backwards…

I think that was obvious. It’s a goofy made up name.
