Since then, advances in virtually every aspect of life have exploded, with the development of personal computers, cellphones with microchips more powerful than anything they had aboard the Apollo Space 11 mission, cars that drive by themselves, and so much more. Nowhere has that innovation been more pronounced than in the study of fetuses and their capabilities.
Those advances have roiled the debate over abortion and energized the pro-life movement.
Ultrasound came into widespread use in the mid-to-late 1970s and was the dominant method of prenatal screening for decades. Although it was a profound development, anyone who’s ever seen one remembers the doctor pointing at a blob on the screen and saying, “look it’s a boy, you see that, right?” (All you could do was nod, though truthfully you saw nothing more than an indistinct blur of black and white.)
In the late nineties, 3D and 4D ultrasound became prominent, and this was a game-changer because you could actually see the baby’s face, watch its movements, even see it smile or suck its thumb. Pro-life lawmakers quickly started writing laws requiring women to get ultrasounds before an abortion; meanwhile abortion advocates were outraged , with the debate continuing to this day.

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
