Worshippers attending Impact Community Church in south Sacramento will see an unusual baby dedication Sunday morning.
It will happen at the 11:15 a.m. service. At that time, a member who is 20 weeks pregnant will have a 3-D sonogram in the middle of worship services. The results will be projected on a large screen for everyone in the congregation to see.
“We want to show how beautiful life is — even at 20 weeks,” pastor Barry Smith says.
The event is being held in advance of the annual Sanctity of Life Day, which is Jan. 18. “This is not a political event … it will just be a celebration of life,” Smith says.

I’m not sure whether that’s cool or wierd. Maybe both.
One of the things our pro-life crisis pregnancy center does (I’m on the board directors) when abortion-minded women come in is to get them an ultrasound, just to make sure they are pregnant. When mommie sees her baby on the screen it literally changes lives – for the better.
A while ago a woman was very much abortion minded, mostly because she said she couldn’t afford to support children. Our counselors promised we would provide her with everything she needed – diapers, crib, car-seat, parenting classes and etc (we regularly do that for people). Then the ultrsound showed she had twins! She said she was going to take us up on our promise – which is awesome.
