Why, when we realize something we had been indifferent to or unaware of, do we say our "eyes were opened"? More eyes are opening in our country today and realizing that freedom is not tantamount to meaninglessness. When these young women see fingers, toes and a beating heart, they understand the emerging life within them. This is a profound moment of personal growth. It's what causes their change and opens the door to their own rebirth and a life with new possibilities. As in the words of the great hymn, "Amazing Grace": "Was blind, but now I see."
