That was a very young whale. They then plunge a surgical scissors into the back of the still-living baby's skull, insert a suction device into the opening and remove the brains. The baby, now dead, is then removed. At least the Makah believe their killing has sacred meaning. An earlier age would have found the question itself grotesque, but our day demands an accounting, and the burden of proof is on the unborn.
Nobody can deny the life of the whale.
It's there for all to see, big as life and splashed across our TVs. The reality of the unborn is harder to see for anyone untutored in fetal development. Network crews don't chronicle the journey of the unborn or the violence of an abortion. But we do know that at six weeks the unborn baby is over half an inch long with arms and legs and all the internal organs of an adult. At two months, everything is present that is found in a full-term baby and brain waves can be detected.
