It's quite something to see and after several weeks it's still lit in my mind, so please help do something positive with the memory of this baby, who so clearly evinces both life, and it's unforgiving fragility. At only 10 weeks, he or she has already, literally saved at least 1 life, let that be just the beginning...
So, please make a meme with the following image;
For the purpose of Saving Lives, by:
1) Teaching people about the development of a fetus and just how far along it is after only 2.5 months. (Referring to even later stages, I've heard; "It's not a life yet." "It's just a bundle of cells." Or "It's just a clump of tissue.") It is not a criticism, but this means that many people simply don't know the truth.
and / or
2) In some way, to inspire women or couples who are currently, or may ever think of abortion, to find some reason to consider offering the baby for adoption as the superior alternative.Β
You can be poetic, sweet, angry, factual, religious, tactful, or extremely direct, anything really, though there is no need to be gross or cruel. I don't really know how I'll judge because it's totally subjective, but I guess I will try to choose winners from any entries that move me somehow, or those I think will best achieve the goal.Β
The awards will be:
1st place - 9 SBD
2nd place - 6 SBD
3rd place - 3 SBD
(ΧΧ 18 SBD = Approx. $44 USD today.)
And G-d willing, will be paid sometime soon (within a day or two?) after this post closes in 7 days.**
Rules:
- Create your own post and please link it here in the comments.
- Use "meme4life" as the first of your tags.
- Each person can have 3 entries. (Can be one post or a separate one for each.) (Can receive 1 prize.)
- ** Since there is a purpose here, there must be at least 10 people who enter the contest. If less than 10 enter, we will run Meme4Life again, and your previous week's entries will still count...
Here is some relevant information, some regarding the baby in the image, and that you are welcome to use in your Meme4Life. (You don't have to.)
- The fetus is 10 weeks old, around 1.5 inches long, and appears (to me) to be held in someone's hand.
- It is still in the amniotic sac, and still connected to it by the umbilical cord.
- The info on wiki says that this case was a necessary therapeutic abortion. That the entire uterus was removed due to cancer in the mother, thus saving her life.
- Otherwise, millions of medically unnecessary abortions are done well after this point of fetal development.
- Huge numbers of parents wait on waiting lists, wishing to adopt.
- At only 10 weeks, just as a mother begins to show, all major structures are already formed in the fetus. Looking closely, you can see many through the baby's fragile skin.
- Useful for data: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prenatal_development
You can do something totally different, but here is an example.
I know it's a controversial subject and we're not trying to hurt anyone, but to B'Ez"H, help this baby help many others...
Also, thanks to a couple specific people, you know who you are...
Thanks For Your Attention and Support!
Not sure if done right, but here's my entry:

Sadly, it feels like what you have said is exactly the experience of so many...
So to save others from that feeling, thank you for your empathic ability!
According to some people the fetus is not a human being,
but perhaps the woman conceives non-human beings?
Each of us is like a whole galaxy! May the lights always remain...
that the lights never go out
Amein!
I hope many couples will learn what you have said, that children remake their parents whole lives. Almost always for the better...
you are very helpful with this post, it is very useful for all humans, especially those who want to have an abortion, I really hate abortion.
Thanks @inphiknit
Yw! And with so many parents willing to adopt, thanks for trying to help...
Do not take me out of your life

I heard something like; after seeing an ultrasound of their baby, 80% + of women immediately change their mind on abortion.
"Look who I am!"
What an absolutely beautiful post, my friend.
Very well done. I will be thinking of possible memes...
πππ
yes very beautiful, i totally agree!
Thank you.
That means a lot, thanks so much.
Here is my first #meme4life for your consideration:
πππ
A millions thanks. May as many women as possible get to hear and feel those words...
I am sure there will be a lot of meme's that will be done with this. This is such a sad story and can moved anyone who reads it.
I agree and hope so too. That G-d willing, many people will see the images that you guys create. Thank you :)
Awesome initiative! We are so quick to murder those unborn! As Miriam put it to Amram; "You would be even worse than Pharoah because now nobody will be born"
"The man from the house of Levi went...β (Exodus 2:1) β he βwentβ at the advice of his daughter. Amram was the head of the Sanhedrin and when he saw that Pharaoh was throwing the Jewish boys into the Nile, he said: βWhy bring children into the world for nothing?β He separated from his wife and all the men in the generation followed his example.
His daughter, Miriam, said: βFather, your decree is worse that Pharaoh's. He only decreed against the males, and you've decreed against males and females. He only decreed death in this world, and you've decreed both in this world and in the next. Pharaoh is evil, and chances are that his decree will not come to fruition, yet you are righteous β surely your decree will come about!β
Amram listened and reunited with his wife, and all the men followed his example and reunited with their wives." (Talmud, Sotah 12a)
May we all have the vision, compassion and courage Miriam...
Thanks brother :)

Good luck to all the entrants - a noble endeavor.
Many entrants, to create what will be seen by many eyes!~
Dear @inphiknit,
I really love your intention here, I'm not sure I have 3 in me and I borrowed a quote from Mother Teresa, because who can say it better than her?
I'd probably end up getting vulgur and say something like "celebrities or witches do not eat me ...," then all Hell would break lose.
Here is my official entry:

It's certainly not an easy subject, and I agree that some areas are, "less than appealing" to deal with. Of course you're very welcome to enter more if you get any other good ideas.
Thanks for your vote of confidence and participation with the effort of sharing a lovely thought for a good goal...

Thank you so much for your effort and entry! As you said, may every mother and child experience the true love that could exist between them!
https://steemit.com/meme4life/@netcy/18-sbd-meme4life-contest
I'm thankful that you've called attention to the idea of new mothers trying to not be afraid. I can only imagine how difficult that must be, but I know they can do it!
Many women unfortunately are left to be dominated by fear and take a bad decision... but when you put in first place the life everything starts to go well...
I leave my entrance. I hope that God can do His work through this contest, no child deserves to die.

You're more than welcome.
Thank you for your insights and for this excellent challenge.
Yw too, always! Now I just gotta figure out how to choose. I'm in for it!
I think it's too late to participate but it doesn't matter, I would like to leave my message to make people aware of saying no to abortion and yes to life.
Abortion is simply a crime!
https://steemit.com/meme4life/@edyazoimar/18-sbd-meme4life-contest
It's not too late, and I like the message, thank you! No matter our own plans, we can't see what's too far ahead. I hope mothers can learn not to fear that certain unknown...
A message to all parents
A person in the matrix?
It is not a mockery, but a creative way of seeing things and respect for sacred lives
From the moment of conception, the son is not part of the maternal tissue, but a different person. The mother's organism considers it a foreign body and would reject it instantly if it were not for the protective environment that originates in its bowels. This new human being, separated from the mother by a membrane, is a person with its own genetic code.

It's not an easy preparation, but well worth the wait! Thank you for trying to inspire women and all parents...
According to Kabbalists, a soul has descended into this body (not a cluster of cells) some weeks ago. And that's because is live, a person, a being already. beautiful.
That's it! I don't think I ever heard of any type of truly "empty vessel" in Kabbalah... B"H!~
This is my entry for the contest...
