I am going to scan and post a few pictures of my first son - the one that was born at 25 weeks gestation - taken while he was in the Intensive Care Unit. He didn't make it - lived for just one week. Back in those days (1980) babies his age had about a 10% survival rate. It has gone up quite a bit, but it's still only 40% or so. I used to visit him in the hospital from the first thing in the morning until bedtime at night, and sit next to the incubater and watch how he was treated and talk to him, and stroke him. He responded to my voice, and to my touch. I had a breast pump and used to pump some milk so in case he could ever be fed by mouth he'd have real breast milk. The doctors did the best they could, but he had a cerebral hemorrage and died. Every day babies his age are killed by people who don't - can't - realize what they are doing. I don't care how pathetic their situation is - if they can't get it together to get an abortion earlier, deliberately killing a baby at 25 weeks gestation is murder. If you'd been there, you'd agree. I don't call myself pro choice or pro life. I'm just me. He would have been 21 this year. His name was Brian.
