One of the special joys of having two separate blogs sent out at different times of the day is that if I run across something of particular use after "Today's News & Views" is posted I can tell you about it in "National Right to Life News Today."

We've run several pieces on "A Baby's First Months: Infinite Possibilities." In a second I will remind you why, but first I just learned that you can watch this remarkable six-minute video in its entirety at Wisconsin Right to Life's web page-- http://wrtl.org.

Alright, besides telling you about this opportunity, why I am talking about "Infinite Possibilities" again? For starters, because we always have new people joining the Movement and because those already on board may have missed this production by Rucinski & Reetz Communication, LLC.

I also am a big believer in promoting materials that can be used in front of any audience. Let me be clear: I was brought into the Movement by a slideshow that would not make it make its way into the public school system, so I would never downplay the importance of educational materials that we share with one another.

But "Infinite Possibilities" allows us to grasp the beauty and the complexity of the unborn by simply allowing the audience to marvel at the child's incredibly beautiful developmental journey. The video can be shown in any forum--your chapter meeting, your church, your public school.

As we've mentioned before Rucinski & Reetz Communication, LLC won two Bronze Telly Awards this year for "A Baby's First Months: Infinite Possibilities," one for scriptwriting and the other for video production. The video had plenty of competition: it was one of over 13,000 entries from all 50 states and countries.

NRLC showed it at our annual convention last month. You can purchase the video from our educational trust fund (http://nrlc.org/InfinitePossibilities.asp).

The genius is how the video subtly makes the point that very early on the mother knows "She is not alone." The unborn baby girl is embedded in a web of relationships that teach us that she and her parents are inextricably intertwined.

It a sense the lesson is that the child is in a partnership with her parents. At the same time we learn about landmarks (heart beats, fingerprints, the development of a "natural swimmer's stroke," eyebrows, and so forth) we are seeing the mother bonding with her unborn child.

All good video productions grab you early. "Infinite possibilities talks about imaging a journey into space and how long it would take you to get to even to the moon, let alone a star. Then the kicker: "The shortest journey to the next universe is your body," introducing the winsome imagery of "the universe within."

Take six minutes and watch the video at http://wrtl.org (if you have small children, be sure to include them) and then purchase a copy at http://nrlc.org/InfinitePossibilities.asp.

You'll be glad you did.
