National pro-life groups continue this week to follow the development of “Baby Chris” (see www.BabyChris.org). This project enables people to learn about – and see – the development that every human being undergoes in these first nine months of life.

Survival rates continue to increase for babies born prematurely at this stage.

Developmental facts and striking images and video are provided each week, along with a prayer and social media tools.

Developmental Facts

The baby is now 21 weeks old, since fertilization, weighs just over a pound, and is one foot in length.

If born prematurely, babies at this stage can often survive, with the right care.

Rapid eye movements occur periodically, closely resembling the eye motions seen in children and adults during sleep. .

Prayers

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

Becoming More Like You

Lord, Thank you for what we continue to learn about the child in the womb.

With each passing week of development, our brothers and sisters in the womb Become more and more like the rest of us.

We learn that they experience simple things like eye movement during sleep And are reminded that they are indeed “one of us,” full members of the human community.

Lord, we pray for those who do not know these facts. Give them a thirst for knowledge; give them a readiness to learn.

And may the knowledge they gain of our unborn brothers and sisters Spur them to a greater love and concern for them.

We pray through Christ our Lord. Amen.
