The post also includes a lovely excerpt from Lejeune's testimony on when human life begins. Allow me to share a favorite bit:
When I had the honor of testifying previously before the Senate, I took the liberty of referring to the universal fairy-tale of the man smaller than the thumb. At two months of age, the human being is less than one thumb's length from the head to the rump. He would fit at ease in a nutshell, but everything is there: hands, feet, head, organs, brain, all are in place. His heart has been beating for a month already. Looking closely, you would see the palm creases and a fortune teller would read the good adventure of that tiny person.
Had I world enough, and time, I might be able to adequately sing the praises of this wonderful man. Brilliant, devout, gentle, humble. He was all the things I wish I was.
