Our church’s prayer chain was praying for a child where the mother was extremely toxemic and every day was literally the difference between life and death for the baby. I’m not saying it happens every time, but this case had a positive outcome; they were able to hold off the birth until the child could survive in an incubator and this January the parents took the baby home.
One reason that we always made sure we had a pro-life OB/GYN was so that we never had to worry that the doctor would give up on life when there was still room for hope. We would not have given birth in a hospital other than a Catholic hospital. And with our first being stillborn at 42 weeks for unknown reasons, we had to use hospitals with a NICU - a lot of which are Catholic hospitals because they do value human life.
I wonder where this baby was born.
If they had decided to abort the baby as the article says, that tells us this was not at a Catholic hospital.
I doubt that the law prevents anybody from administering pain meds to children in the womb. I wonder if the docs at this hospital were more geared toward the agenda of protesting this law than about serving this family.
