God's blessings to you and yours.

Isaiah died that morning with dignity. Dignity means no one killed him and he wasn't alone. His momma's arms were around him through the whole process. Some babies don't die with dignity. About fifty million babies have died legally without dignity since January 22, 1973.

Good article. It's amazing how putting someone down like a stray dog has become equivalent to dying with "dignity".

Beautiful story!

This was part of Brian Rohrbough's amazing speech at the
Colorado March for Life which was, sadly, blacked out by Denver
media.

Precious baby Joshua was similarly cherished for 24 hours.

Dignity means no one killed him and he wasn't alone. His momma's arms were around him through the whole process.

Tearful bump.

This is a wonderful article and very close to my heart.

In 1983 my aunt gave birth to a severally premature baby and she knew before going into labor that there was almost no chance of survival. When my cousin was born, he was immediately baptised and given last rites. There was nothing the doctors could do to correct his condition (chances are that today's technology could have saved him) and he died aftert three days with my aunt and uncle holding him. They do not like to discuss it, but they have also told me that they wouldn't trade those few painful days for anything in the world.

In 1970, when my mother was in her seventh month of pregnancy, she got food poisoning and went into labor. My brother was given less than a 25% chance of survival and my parents were told that even if he survived he would likely have severe health problems for the rest of his life and would be very small and weak. By the time my brother was a senior in high school, he was All American in medium and long distance track (in one event his times were in the top ten in the country). He always wanted to be a military officer and attended college on a full ROTC scholarship. While in the Army he went through northern warfare school in Alaska and Ranger school at Fort Benning. He left the Army after a severe shoulder injury made it impossible to continue doing what he loved. He is now a very successful lawyer handling complex litigation. Had my family accepted the doctor's opinion, he would have been told that nobody expected anything from him and would have missed out on a very fulfilling life.

Agreed!

God is a just God. God is a loving God. But He is also a jealous God. Below is a good description from "Bible Answers". The scientific community is playing God in their cloning, euthanasia, baby stem cell research and their abortion. Time might just be getting very short.

"When we look at this verse, we find that it is not that God is jealous or envious because someone has something He wants that He does not possess. Exodus 20:4-5 says "You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God..." Notice that in this verse God is talking about being jealous if someone gives something that belongs to Him to another."

What a beautiful illustration of the power of love!

This woman and her family chose love.

Let's be clear though: people, like Feinstein and the Far Left Democrats, who cite "a woman's 'right to choose'" as a litmus test for Supreme Court justices are talking about a negative right.

From America's founding and adoption of a Constitution in 1787 until January 30, 2006 (today), every American girl/woman has always possessed the right to choose to allow the child in her womb to live until it emerges through the birth process. What they did not lawfully possess was the right to choose to deprive that child of his/her Creator-endowed right to life and liberty.

Jefferson: "The God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time: the hand of force may destroy, but cannot disjoin them."
