Summary
Earlier this month, an image was shared on social media featuring what looked like a bit of used tissue paper with the caption, "Just a reminder that this is what an 8 week pregnancy/abortion looks like." The inference is that pro-lifers are fools or liars to call the preborn "a child."
It didn't take long for that tweet to get called out. The image had been doctored. The "tissue" was not an embryo but merely an empty gestational sac. A real 8-week embryo has hands and feet, heart and head, and is very clearly a tiny human being.
While the claim "it's just a clump of cells!" was questionable 50 years ago when someone first uttered it, decades of technological development make it morbidly laughable. The imagery available now completely undercuts any idea that what we see in the womb is less than human. What has been revealed is how divorced from reality the pro-abortion camp has always been.
