It appears the link has been taken down. In it, surgery is being performed on the spine of a fetus still in utero. It's an amazing procedure. The picture shows the hand of the 21 week old fetus reaching out of the sack with the fingers wrapped around the doctor's index finger. It is not surprising that this picture would invoke guilt in members of the more aggressive pro choice forces.

It was an article about this medical procedure performed on the fetus, and a photo of the head and hand of the fetus... I suppose it was taken during the procedure. They partially removed the fetus I guess and put it back in the womb... I can't get the site up again either. The problem was that the title of the article was "Medical Miracle" or something, as you read through the text, each paragraph (and there were many) mentioned abortion. "Of course this baby could have been aborted", "abortion would have been a horrible option" etc. etc. - after reading it seemed to be making a pro-life argument vs. discussing this medical matter. I believe it was a poorly cloaked anti-choice propaganda piece. At first I was trying to argue that with Charlymaine, but it seems nobody contradicted that point (that this was a pro-life piece and not medical material at all)... they were just interested in it for its depiction of partial birth abortions, at which point I can't see Fox airing it.
