Can You Look Into Her Eyes and Say Abortion is OK?
|
By Maria V. Gallagher, Legislative Director
I was captivated by a baby girl I saw recently in church. Her eyes were filled with wonder, taking in everything within her environment.
This chance encounter made me reflect upon the development of an unborn child. At just 19 days after conception, the eyes begin to develop. Imagine that. Less than three weeks after egg and sperm have united, the birth of sight begins. It is truly incredible.
By the 9th week after conception, the preborn child will be able to squint–a quite human response.
If we could look her in the eyes at that point, would any of us say that abortion is a rational option?

A Day in the Life of the Pro-Life Movement in PA
|
|
By Maria V. Gallagher, Legislative Director
When the men of the U.S. Supreme Court issued the tragic ruling Roe v. Wade in 1973, I suppose they thought they had settled the issue of abortion.
But 46 years later, the issue is anything but settled.
I have been reminded of that truth this week, in my work at the Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation, an affiliate of National Right to Life.
Calls have been pouring in from people wanting to make a public stance against abortion. An enthusiastic college student wants to partner with us to grow his campus pro-life group. And a second student–equally on fire for life–begins a long-anticipated internship with us next week.
And that is just a tiny taste of what’s been going on in the pro-life movement in Pennsylvania as 2019 is still in its infancy.
