She very much wanted a \u201crainbow baby\u201d to bring hope and healing into her life.<\/p>\n<p>Sure enough, the ob\/gyn office confirmed the pregnancy, in all its glory, in the ultrasound image that appeared on the screen. The mother was overcome by emotion at the portrait of personhood before her, very early in the first trimester of pregnancy.<\/p>\n<p>She was also enamored by the heartbeat that was clearly detectable in the preborn baby\u2019s first six weeks of life in the womb.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cpdY97GOK2I\" width=\"640\" height=\"355\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">As a viewer, I felt pure joy at this scene\u2014a mother and father seeing their beloved child for the first time.

The heart starts pulsating at a mere 24 days after conception; brain waves can be detected 43 days after the union of egg and sperm.<\/p>\n<p>The life of an unborn child is as dramatic as any series you will watch on cable television. It is intense in its beauty and amazing in its grandeur.<\/p>\n<p>Those who work in the abortion industry and their advocates in Congress and elsewhere are simply denying reality when they fail to acknowledge the humanity of the unborn child. They are also denying science and the basic biological fact that life begins at fertilization.<\/p>\n<p>But in the end, the ultrasound image carries with it a dignity and grace which cannot be denied. Life bursts from the screen with all its possibility and promise.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to the cause of life, reality is, indeed, on our side.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor&#8217;s Note: This article was published at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalrighttolifenews.org\/2020\/12\/the-development-of-the-child-in-utero-is-the-ultimate-reality-show\/\">NRL News Today<\/a> and is reprinted here with permission.
