photo everythinglovely: hello-therelove: psychedenique:spacetowrite:bippityboppityboo: Clancy (the photographer) was assigned to document an in utero operation on a 21-week unborn baby named Samuel Armas. In a story he wrote about the incident, Clancy said, “Suddenly, an entire arm thrust out of the opening, then pulled back until just a little hand was showing. The doctor reached over and lifted the hand, which reacted and squeezed the doctor’s finger. As if testing for strength, the doctor shook the tiny fist. Samuel held firm. I took the picture! Wow! It happened so fast that the nurse standing next to me asked, ‘What happened?’ ‘The child reached out,’ I said. ‘Oh. They do that all the time,’ she responded.” Clancy said the experience changed him from pro-choice to pro-life. Samuel was born on Dec. 2, 1999, weighing 5 pounds 11 ounces–four weeks premature. By all indications, he appeared healthy. Today, he’s a “chattering, brown-eyed, 10-year-old.” whoa
