[Image: a series of fetal photos of animals in utero labeled in turn, “Unborn elephant”, “Unborn dog”, “unborn dolphin”, and for the human fetus, “clump of cells?” The photos are credited to National Geographic. End description.]
Correction: all of them are simply animal fetuses of no particular significance, none of which are “babies,” and abortions do occur in nature, including in horses and primates.

Hahahaha, do the anti-choicers really want to play the “guess the embryo” game?
Ok, let’s go.

In this picture, there are eight embryos at similar stages of development. Each is of a different species, and the species included are human, hog, tortoise, rabbit, fish, chick, calf, and salamander. Which is the human?
Yeah, you don’t have a fucking clue which one the human is, do you?
Let’s move the embryos to a further stage of development and try again:

Now you can probably rule a couple of embryos out as humans. But can you differentiate between the endothermic species? What about the mammals? Do you know which one is human?

Here’s the answer key. This is what comparative embryology looks like.
Also: every multicellular organism on this planet is a clump of cells, smartass. What do you really think humans are comprised of?
