"CBS SHOW “BIG BANG THEORY” CELEBRATES THE HUMANITY OF UNBORN CHILDREN" - Micaiah Bilger, Apr. 13, 2016; http://www.lifenews.com/2016/04/13/cbs-show-big-bang-theory-celebrates-the-humanity-of-unborn-children/[AS I SEE IT: However brief this acknowledgement of the person-hood of the unborn, the fact that it could be noted without great backlash is encouraging in light of the pro-abortion slant of today's programming even on network TV. And the fact that this was a well-watched program and is at what used to be called "the family hour" (before 9 pm on a "school" night is also significant. It's comforting that we can find moments such as these even in our corsened culture. PRAY that there will be more such moments.- Stan]
The Big Bang Theory, arguably TV’s most popular comedy today, captured an adorable, life-affirming moment in its latest episode when three of the characters listened to an unborn baby’s heartbeat together.
The April 7 episode [go to the weblink above to find a video link]showed expecting parents Howard and Bernadette sitting together on the sofa with Howard’s best friend Raj. Howard moves a special microphone over his wife’s stomach that allows them to hear the baby’s heart beating. The three friends sit in awe as they listen to the unborn baby’s heart thump through the speaker.
“Isn’t that the best?” Bernadette says.
“You guys made a person!” Raj adds, smiling in awe.
Howard snuggles close to his wife and says, “We did.”
It is a special moment for several reasons. In a past season of the show, Bernadette said she did not want to have children, because she wanted to pursue her career. In real life, women sometimes have abortions because they say a baby would get in the way of their career. Bernadette could easily have taken that route; but her mind appears to be changed. She is excited to be a mother and in awe of her unborn child.
Even more so, the moment is heartwarming because the characters acknowledge that the unborn baby is a valuable human being, a “person.” Hollywood and the mainstream media don’t often do that. They typically bow to the pro-abortion rhetoric that avoids any language recognizing unborn babies for who they are.
This past winter, abortion activists even made a fuss over a Super Bowl commercial for Doritos that showed an ultrasound of an unborn baby. The radical abortion group NARAL claimed the ad “humanized fetuses.” Later, NARAL was called out for its ridiculous criticism of the commercial.
Maybe that’s why the new Big Bang Theory episode has received little attention from abortion activists. As technology advances and the access to it expands, more people are realizing the truth that unborn babies are valuable people, too.

"This State is Now Calling Babies Before Birth “Unborn Children” Instead of “Fetuses” -

Despite a great deal of controversy, Arkansas State Medical Board voted on Thursday to use the life-affirming terms “unborn child” and “unborn human individual” in abortion-related regulations.
The board had presented the wording governing abortion procedures for doctors in January, changing the Legislature’s language to “fetus” because its members said that was an accepted medical term, while “unborn child” was not. A subcommittee of the Arkansas Legislative Council sent the proposed rules back to the board with directions to restore the original language. The board did so Thursday on a split vote. Additional pro-life requirements for abortion providers who do chemical abortions also were added to the law, according to the report.
Language does matter in the abortion debate. Abortion activists try to hide the unborn child’s humanity from the culture by describing it as a “fetus” or a “pregnancy” or even a “clump of cells” because when women recognize that the child in their womb is a child, they are less likely to have an abortion. This change in terminology, though slight, will certainly help in defending unborn lives.
