"Dangerous" How? And to Whom (or What)?

Those are the questions The American Papist appropriately asks in response to this garbage from the "scientific community":
Ultrasound images which show 12-week-old foetuses sucking their thumbs and walking in the womb are dangerously misleading, a group of scientists warned today.

***
Dr Donald Peebles, a consultant in foetal medicine at University College London, said the temptation to associate foetal movements with adult movements was "incredibly dangerous" and said they contributed nothing to the debate over whether the legal time limit for abortion should be lowered.

Dr Huseyin Mehmet, a reader in developmental neurobiology at Imperial College London, said that a foetal brain at 23 and 24 weeks was "extremely immature" and described it as being like an orange that has been sliced in half.

But Julia Millington, of the Pro-Life Alliance, said it was irrelevant whether someone looking at the images fully understood the science behind it or not.

***
Ms Millington said she did not believe that the comments made by the scientists would significantly alter the debate over when abortions should take place.

She said: "I do not think they will diminish the impact of the images because the thing that people respond to is what they see as the humanity of the unborn child.

My Comments:
The only thing endangered by our recognition of an unborn baby's humanity in an ultrasound photo is the abortion industry and its political advocates.

After our miscarriage I fished my 12 week old dead baby out of the toilet and brought her to the hospital with us. I can assure any pro-abort that this “cluster of cells” looks a hell of a lot like a 4-5 inch long person! Plus, the argument regarding fetal brain development doesn’t hold any water, just consider that newborn babies aren’t too bright either! The term “extremely immature” could be applied to just about any child not yet old enough to have a conversation. The biggest enemy to the abortion industry is medical science continuing to provide more information of just how deadly abortion is. We can only hope that public opinion realizes this too.
