SPEAKER

MICHAEL CLANCY

As a veteran photojournalist in Nashville, Tennessee, Michael Clancy was hired by USA Today newspaper to photograph a spina bifida corrective surgical procedure. It was to be performed on a 21-week-old fetus in utero at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. At that time, in 1999, twenty-one weeks in utero was the earliest that the surgical team would consider doing surgery. During the surgery, suddenly an entire arm thrust out of the surgical opening then pulled back until just a little hand was showing. The doctor reached over and lifted the hand which reacted and squeezed the doctor's finger. As if testing for strength, the doctor shook the tiny fist. Samuel held firm.

Michael snapped his photos and little did he know that one of those photos would be seen around the world and bring question to the sanctity of life and partial birth abortion.

Plan to join us to hear the story behind the photo and learn how a photographer turned into a prolife activist. Michael Clancy's famous photo of Baby Samuel's hand can be seen at www.michaelclancy.com.
