God bless this family. The world has another angel, if only it (the world) has the courage to admit it and accept it. In any event, if the world doesn’t admit it and accept it, God and that family do. And so do I.
In 1986 I went for a free pregnancy test at planned parenthood in altamonte springs fla. I was 30 yrs old with a good job. They were relentless in tring to get me to choose an abortion (before the test was done). After flipping out on them (angry) they finally did the test. Said I was not pregnant. (i was). In 1990 my dr said I had cmv antibodies in my blood and I should abort. I didn’t. Today Amanda is 24. Christopher is 30. Always go with your heart and faith. They treat abortion as if you are getting a tooth pulled instead of sucking a life from your womb.

Correction. Christopher is 20. Typo.

My youngest son was born with only one kidney and with severe hydronephrosis in the other.
This condition was known early in the pregnancy.
Half way into the pregnancy, my wife’s doctor asked if we were going to abort the child. She said it in a manner that was so casual, like it was something that we were supposed to do, that I had to do all that I could to control my reaction. I responded, “there is no way that we would even consider such a thing”
He is now nine years old. The growth in his one kidney has outpaced his weight gain and has upgraded from “severe” to “moderate” hydronephrosis.
He is, by anyone’s standards, a normal nine year old boy. And I couldn’t imagine life without him.
She was 37 and we just learned she was pregnant for the sixth time. An eight year lapse since the last birth.
We experienced the same type of pressure to check and do an amniotic fluid check for DNA abnormalities. A procedure not without risk
As a matter of fact our doctor told us he would not be our doctor unless we did one......bye bye doc.
We found a new one and after the first ultrasound they found some abnormalities.
She had "turner syndrome" a genetic issue.
God strengthened us and reassured us that ALL things are in his hands....
Twenty seven years later she is the most loving beautiful caring human being on the planet.
I simply cannot imagine aborting her because she wasn't perfect...that would be such an horrendous evil I simply cannot fathom it
There are such a godly couple. God has and will continue to bless them mightily. God bless little Hannah.
Abortion is evil, every time.
People act like a ‘defective’ human being is worthless. “They’re going to die young anyway. May as well save everybody the trouble.”
A couple of years ago we took in a stray kitten. He was adorable and so filled with personality and sweetness. His hips and spine were deformed. He was severely cross-eyed and had another deformity of the bottom lip that made it impossible to completely close his mouth.
We loved the heck out of that little guy. When he died, about a year later, my kids were heartbroken. I told them to be grateful for the time that we had with him. Be glad that we were able to give him a good life, even though it was short. That little guy never knew a moment of fear or hunger. He’d lay in our arms for hours every night and sleep cuddled up while we rocked him. Just a ball of furry purr.
Now why can’t we have that attitude toward our babies? Toward our fellow human beings? What’s wrong with just loving the heck out of someone and giving them the best life that *they* can have - even if it’s shorter or not the ‘quality’ that the average person enjoys?
My son is a T1 diabetic and I know that there are people who believe he should never have been born. He’s too expensive. Odds are, he’s going to die younger than average.
But I could be in a car crash tomorrow and my life could be cut short. There are no guarantees and that’s what people are looking for.
Caring for our disabled elevates *US*.
But society see it as an inconvenience.
“Burdened by a baby” indeed...
I'm out of patience with the doctor-bashing at LifeSites.
If you don't like the medical personnel, STAY HOME.
Interesting that they could diagnose a genetic disorder from a single sonogram, without any actual DNA testing.
Interesting as in "sounds like fraud."
I know a lady online who has a grand daughter with this.She is 8yo now and the last year she’s had a really rough time.Unfortunately they seldom live beyond 10yo so she is one of the older ones.
