Knowing your body parts

Out of Texas comes this touching story with a happy ending.

When Chad and Keri McCartney say their infant daughter, Macie Hope, is born again, they aren’t referring to religion — the month-old miracle baby really was born twice.

The first “birth” was about six months into Keri McCartney’s pregnancy, when surgeons at Texas Children’s Hospital took the tiny fetus from Keri’s womb to remove a tumor that would have killed Macie before she was born.

The second time was on May 3, when the McCartneys welcomed their surgically repaired — and perfectly healthy — baby girl into the world.

The story includes this ultrasound image of Macie Hope in the womb:

Note that there is a baby and a clump of cells -- and they're two completely different things.

Roe v. Wade's trimester construction becomes more and more outdated -- and immoral -- every year.
