Images of Fetal Development
The following images were presented to Fr. Frank Pavone, at the time he was
working at the Vatican, by a team of experts from Poland. The experts presented
them also to Pope John Paul II.
Priests for Life is grateful to Professor Andrzej Skawina (Collegium Medicum
Jagiellonian University, Krakow) and Dr. Antoni Marsinek, MD (Czerwiakowski
Gynecological and Obstetrics Hospital, Krakow) for making these images
available, and to the Zrodlo Foundation, Wychowawca Department, for the
permission to use them.
We encourage pro-life groups and individuals to use these images, keeping in
mind the words that pollster Harrison Hickman spoke to the 1989 conference of
the National Abortion Rights Action League, "Nothing has been as damaging to
our cause as the advances in technology which have allowed pictures of the
developing fetus, because people now talk about that fetus in much different
terms than they did fifteen years ago. They talk about it as a human being,
which is not something that I have an easy answer how to cure."
