Materials for pastoral outreach and education, so that people may learn about the development of the unborn child.

Messages

Please join national pro-life groups in tracing the development of the unborn child. “Baby Chris” has now reached 17 weeks of life since fertilization.

The size of a pineapple at this stage, children like Baby Chris are still often regarded as less than human, and at this stage, the horrifying procedures of dismemberment abortion are carried out on some of these children.

Various states, as well as the United States Congress, have taken steps to protect such children from dismemberment, but these legal efforts only have partial success so far. Knowing more about the development of the baby at this stage – and spreading that knowledge – can help strengthen the efforts to protect them.

Developmental Facts

The baby’s heart has now beat over 22 million times!

The baby is now the size of a pineapple! (without the stalk)

The baby’s head is about as big around as the average woman’s wrist.

Prayers

Prayer is the foundation of all we do in the pro-life movement.

Solidarity

Lord, thank you for our ability to know so much about the child in the womb.
As I continue to follow the development of life in the womb, I am filled both with joy and with sorrow:
Joy, at knowing your Providential care for us and your glory as manifested in making us so wondrously in the womb, even when nobody is watching…
And sorrow, at knowing that even at this stage of development, babies in the womb lack all protection and are being killed by horrific dismemberment abortion procedures.
Lord, send light upon the darkness of our world.
Send truth where there is ignorance.
And send loving compassion that will enable us to walk in solidarity with our youngest neighbors, the children in the womb, and to do to them what we would want others to do to us.
We pray through Christ our Lord. Amen.
