I'm with you, prayers for mom, baby, and the family

[Brad’s Gramma]

WHOOOO HOOOOO Logan and ALL Tiny Babies BUMP!!!

[glock rocks]

Amen.

[STARWISE]

May Our Dear Lord wrap His healing hands around this dear Mother and her precious Babe ...only He knows.

Saw this on the news tonight .. tragic story, very brave husband and Daddy.

[Hildy]

This is NONE of our business. NONE.

[BigSkyFreeper]

I'm going to go out on a limb and ask God to bring Mom around, too.

I'm with you BG! Prayers up for both of them!

[AppyPappy]

Of course it isn't. Why should we care about a baby?

[Humidston]

I like your style, BG. I'm going to pray for complete recovery for Mom as well as a healthy birth for baby!

[Texas Termite]

Oh how our heart aches for this family. A 2 year old that doesn't understand what's going on, a daddy who is torn between love and grief, with overwhelming medical bills, a young mother will won't live to see either of her babies grow to adulthood, and an infant being sustained by the greatest gift of love on this earth. This is what "LOVE" is all about.

Precious Lord, hear the prayers of all who ask that you protect this unborn child. Assist the medical profession to sustain this young woman at least long enough for the extension of her love to be born and flourish.

Give comfort to her little one here on earth that he may someday understand the ultimate sacrifice his mommy and daddy made, and aid the young father in the days ahead for all that he faces.

Peace to them all, we ask this is Your name.....

Amen

Our love and prayers for this family....

"TT", Beth & Nana

[Alamo-Girl]

I join in prayer for this family!

[Libertina]

Fetus... Latin for child.

[Texagirl4W]

Then stay out of here.

[Texagirl4W]

I had left this for a while tonight. Dear Lord, some of the hostilities here are unbelievable. Glad you're passing the word and I'm agreeing with you in prayer, my friend.

and the mother one incredible woman. I hope and pray the baby will be born and live to bring joy to this dad who is in a lot of grief as he knows as one is born and breathes live..that the other will take her last breath. It's heartbreaking but a true love story. God bless all three. My heart aches for all of them.

I know someone who totally supported Michael Schiavo and thinks this is absolutely absurd. I wonder, if he thought that it should have been Michael's wishes because he is the husband what his problem is with this case because, again, it's the husband's wishes. Ah, the culture of death.

[Jaded]

I saw this on the news this morning. I thought of Gianna Beretta Molla It is a little different circumstances, but still.

[stands2reason]

Why are you being hostile to a few Christians who wish to pray for a baby?

You ought to think before you post.

[Hildy]

That scenario actually happened and it was made into a movie. A woman was pregnant and went into a coma and in order for the wife to maybe recover they would have to abort the baby. The husband said to go ahead and a bunch of right to lifers got a court order on behalf of the baby. It was a huge story in NY back in the 70's I believe, and it was a nightmare for the husband. The name of the movie was ABSOLUTE STRANGERS, referring to the people who came in and intruded on this family's most painful period. Henry Winkler starred as the husband. So, it can happen...and that's very frightening.

[Hildy]

I apologize...I did what I chastise others about which is posting before reading. I thought it was a call to activism and that got my dander up. But it's just a call to prayer...and I'm all for that!
