How big is the baby?


It seems Emmy is learning more and more at a very rapid pace. Her latest trick is "How big is the baby?". Her first attempts looked like this - with one hand behind the head. She has gotten the hang of it now though!
************************************************************************************

I am going to use this platform to speak about something that concerns me. If you haven't heard already, Governor Eliot Spitzer has submitted legislation Bill #16 (S.5829) called the "Reproductive Health and Privacy Protection" act. This bill seeks to:

1- prevent informed consent of mothers considering an abortion
2- disallow parental consent
3- Disallow current protection for viable infants (premature births, at an stage where the baby could live, if given help) by allowing a doctor to unilaterally decide not to use life-sustaining equipment to save the child's life
4- Force Catholic hospitals and institutions to provide abortions and contraception
5- Not allow doctors, nurses, other healthcare professionals to refuse to provide
abortion or contraception on the grounds of their conscience
