In this video, Phoenix television station KTVK reports on a compelling picture of a baby reaching out from her mother’s womb to grasp a doctor’s hand during a C-section delivery.
The photo of the baby was taken by her father, Randy Atkins, while his wife, Alicia, was delivering their daughter with the assistance of medical staff at a Phoenix hospital.
The impact of the photo is striking testimony to the full humanity of children in the womb. It has gone viral on the Internet, and the awestruck parents named their daughter Nevaeh, or “Heaven” spelled backwards, after witnessing the event.
And according to KTVK, “Even the hospital staff told her parents there's something almost spiritual about the picture of Nevaeh holding the doctor's finger before technically being born.”
Alicia Atkins, who is a professional photographer in the Phoenix suburb of Glendale, has posted the photo here on Facebook.
CNN has also posted a video report about the photo here on its website.

And there is life before birth. There has been a human being conceived and not a dog or a cat within the womb of the human mother Then how can any human being in their right mind and sound conscience kill an unborn child? This is a beautiful picture demonstrating the tenderness, the humanity of the unborn child. Therefore, by the spirit of the unborn child thru movement to reach out to the baby’s deliverer demonstrates the value of human life before birth. Can this picture rescue the many unborn babies who have been slaudered by their killers who by licensure to be in the medical field committed their intent to uphold life, to protect life, to ensure life within their capabilites as a medical provider under the licensure of that state. The Hippocratic Oath is what I believe it is called for those who provide licensed medical treatment and care. Where is the justice for the innocent victims of mans selfishness? A picture says so much. Thank you for sharing it.
Barak Obama would allow this child to be dismembered and killed. He voted for this procedure back in Illinois and still stands by it. He is gung ho abortion. He would even have his grandchild aborted if the pregnancy was unintended. Look at that little hand and you decide if this baby is not fully human and deserves its God-given life.
How mighty and awesome is our God!! Praise Him!!
Is it a coincidence that this comes out THIS month, when we March for Life? I don’t think so. God reveals Himself and His truths in what ever way He knows will catch our attention.
Susan, you are correct in reminding us of what Obama asserted he would do if one of his beautiful daughters became pregnant - they shouldn’t ‘be punished with a baby” !!! How did this horrorshow of a ‘father’ become President, not once, but twice?? All you Democrat Catholics out there who voted for this disreputable man - Shame on you! We will get the society we deserve by putting this man in office, but sure, you all will get your ‘free stuff’ - paid for with the blood of innocent babes in the womb.
