A stunning image of a baby boy, miscarried at 12 weeks gestation, is powerfully changing hearts and minds about abortion. Last year, Lara Price, shared the\u00a0moving photo\u00a0of her son, Noah, demonstrating the obvious humanity of preborn children in the womb and the brutality\u00a0of abortion.<\/p>\n

The image, which displays Noah’s perfectly formed little fingers, toes, and newly developing tiny face and body, is giving individuals a firsthand encounter with the humanity of the preborn child\u2014 and it is changing hearts and minds in the process.<\/p>\n

“It’s a blessing to see his picture being used,” Price told Live Action News. “I’ve heard of stories of people who sent me e-mail messages and Facebook messages,\u00a0saying people changed their minds [about abortion].”<\/p>\n

At 12 weeks gestation, Noah\u2019s reflexes were quickly\u00a0developing. He could open and close\u00a0his tiny fingers, clench his mouth, and move around in his mother’s womb. Noah’s obvious humanity is one reason why Price said she decided to share him with the world.<\/p>\n

“This is what your baby looks like\u2014 this is what he actually looks like,” Price said. “It is always going to be the better choice to give birth to your child.”<\/p>\n

Price says when Noah’s story was first published,\u00a0a woman with her\u00a0same name\u00a0wrote\u00a0to a pro-life publication that had printed Price’s\u00a0story. The mother, who was also 12 weeks pregnant, had\u00a0seen the image and decided she would carry her baby to term, whom she also named Noah.<\/p>\n

That story is among many\u00a0that Price has heard, as her son’s image continues to impact the world. Now, Price is lending Noah’s photo\u00a0as part of a new project to educate individuals on the reality of abortion procedures. The project, created\u00a0by Live Action, features former abortionist Dr. Anthony Levatino,<\/a> who describes what truly occurs\u00a0during the most common\u00a0abortion procedures.<\/p>\n

Most abortions in the U.S. occur in the first trimester, when babies Noah’s same age and size \u2014 and younger\u2014 are killed through the aspiration, or suction, D&C procedure.<\/p>\n

Price is sharing Noah’s image in the Abortion Procedures<\/a> project because she has seen the impact Noah’s life has made. The photo can be viewed at the 20-second mark in the video below. Price says she wants others to see the inherent humanity and dignity of children at such a young age.<\/p>\n
