Abortion survivor likens her ordeal to Terri's

When a doctor makes a mistake, the patient dies. When an abortionist makes a mistake, the patient lives. Gianna Jessen was aborted by saline solution but lived to tell the story -- and what a story it is!

The doctor told Penny [foster mother] that she should give up on the thought of Jessen progressing beyond a vegetative state.

"Doesn't this language sound strangely familiar?" Jessen asked. "Didn't we hear the same language over and over last March in regards to a woman named Terri Schiavo?

"So my point being ... we cannot take the lives of weak people just because they make us uncomfortable," she said. "Just maybe those weak people might be forcing us to deal with the issues in our own souls."

Jessen explained how she could relate to Schiavo, who survived for 13 days after being deprived of food and water, because Jessen had the same will to live as a struggling infant.

"When you want to live, you fight," Jessen said. "The person, whether or not she can speak, is speaking volumes by the fact that she will not give in to death .... [So] this has gotten me thinking about why in the world we are so eager to end the lives of weak people...."
