12 Years in 2 Minutes 45 Seconds

Posted on by

A lovely video as we end August. Twelve years ago, Dutch filmmaker Frans Hofmeester embarked on the greatest work of his life: becoming a father. Here is his time-lapse documentation of his daughter Lotte from birth to 12 years.

How fast they grow!

And as Dave Andrusko noted in the National Right to Life News Today:

I wonder, what if a woman facing a crisis pregnancy were able to see in her mind’s eye a time lapse edit of her developing child—from whatever stage the baby is at the point when she may be contemplating an abortion until birth.

She would see that it really isn’t all that long and that the baby who is tiny and sort of a stranger now will soon be much larger and someone for whom she would give her life.

Our children — a miracle hidden in the early months, but enfolding from day to day.

This Is 20 Weeks

Slide1You have to see this! This Is 20 Weeks is a creative, new media campaign, a plan to marshal pro-life America to build momentum for legislation passed in Congress last spring to ban abortions after 20 weeks. It’s non-confrontational and elegant.

To find out more about it how it works and how you can be part of it, click here (and, don’t worry, they’re not asking for money. What they’d like you to share with them is your baby’s 5-month anonymous sonogram to be part of the most beautiful and moving baby album ever). The link to the actual site is here.
