Incredible Video of Beating Heart in the Womb

This incredible video below from the Endowment for Human Development shows video footage through embryoscopy of the actual beating heart of an unborn child.

Not just ultrasound, not just 3-D ultrasound, but actual video of the unborn child.

From LifeSiteNews:

By using embryoscopy, a rare technique involving a tiny camera the size of a pen tip, scientists were able to get breathtaking, real footage of the unborn, which shows how preborn babies have a heartbeat at three weeks, make spontaneous movements at six weeks, and have 90% of the anatomical structures found in adults at eight weeks.

Note that this says unborn children develop a heartbeat by third week of development. Statistically, most abortions occur at the 8th week–long after the child has a beating heart.

I once supported abortion.  I supported it because I was ignorant, because I thought it was a simple matter of a woman’s sovereignty over her own body.  Little did I know at the time that while a woman should indeed have control over most aspects of her own body, there is another body involved over which she should NOT have life or death control: that of her child.

A woman has many rights which should be respected.  But her unborn child has a fundamental right to live, a right which Americans have recognized since the earliest day of our republic.

Without the right to life, no other right counts for anything.

Watch the video of a 4.5 week old here.

So the next time you see one of those signs along the roadway that says “Abortion stops a beating heart,” remember that it’s literally true.
