Fact Checking Site ‘Snopes’ Confirms Ultrasound Picture Showing Smiling Baby: ‘True’

On June 1, fact checking website Snopes surprised many when they offered a ‘true’ fact check to a Lifenews photo showing a baby side next to a high resolution ultrasound photo and claiming they were one and the same, prompting an investigation after one skeptic claimed it looked photoshopped.

According to Snopes:

“On May 31, 2023, the independent, anti-abortion news outlet LifeNews posted an image to Facebook that purportedly showed a fetus smiling in his mother’s womb. The image also displayed a picture of what was believed to be the same baby smiling after he was born. The caption read, “Baby before birth. Baby after.”

On the next day, we received mail from a reader who asked if we could confirm the post’s veracity.

“I saw the attached photo on Facebook on a friend’s page,” the email read. “The ‘before’ looks Photoshopped to me, but I don’t know how to check that. Thank you.”

Despite this reader’s skepticism, we soon found data that showed both of these images were real, and that neither of them had been doctored.”

Snopes would go on to say that the images come from 2014 and featured the June 30 birth of Leo Hargreaves, which were taken with the ‘”4D Real Time” mode on a General Electric (GE) SRI II (second generation Speckle Reduction Imaging) machine.’

  1. My most recent pay test was for a 12-hour-per-week internet job for 9,500 dollars. For months, my sister’s friend has been making an average of 15,000, and she puts in about 20 hours every week. As soon as I gave it a try, I was shocked at how simple it was.
