LONDON, England, July 25, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) – Baby Charlie Gard was baptized and his parents "trust that soon" he "will be in the hands of his loving God and savior," a Presbyterian minister and human rights activist working with them said.
Rev. Patrick Mahoney mentioned this in a Facebook live video shortly after Chris Gard and Connie Yates announced they were ending their legal battle to save their 11-month-old baby's life.
"Had Great Ormond Street Hospital allowed this treatment months ago, when Connie and Chris requested it," the chances that Charlie's condition would greatly improve are very high, said Mahoney. His parents wouldn't have been forced to make "this gut-wrenching, heartbreaking choice" if the hospital had respected their wishes from the beginning and allowed them to continue Charlie's care elsewhere.
"If this prestigious hospital had listened to the parents, had heard and honored the parents, then we would not have been in the situation we were today," said Mahoney. A "global conversation has now been ignited" about the rights of parents, not governments, to determine what's best for their children.
Connie and Chris are going to begin a foundation to ensure that no parent ever has "to go through this again," Mahoney said.
Terris list ping.
He’ll be there “baptized” or not, as are all the other infants taken early in their Earthly pilgrimage.
I think it’s great for the parents.
All things work for good ..........
I’m surprised I don’t hear a lot from the families of both these young parents. Some couples exist almost independently from their immediate family, and only open up to each other.
Most likely, some of the grandparents were in agreement with the State on what to do about the baby’s predicament.
Queen Of England, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, British Big Brother Judges, British National Health Service, all of them are killers and murderers of innocent infants. May they all join Satan in forever “Hell” after they depart from this world!!! Shame on Churchill’s, once great Mother England!!!
Churchhill, the Lion of England must be turning in his grave, with tears streaming down his eyes. SAD days for the UK.
I am half surprised the government allowed the child to be baptized. How dare the parents surrender him to the loving arms of Christ!
Soon the little guy will be in the loving arms of the One Who loves children Who said “Let the little ones come to Me.”
Those who partook in this abomination?
Woe unto them if they do not repent.
Jesus will soon enfold this child in his loving arms at the gates of heaven. Let us pray to the Lord as the God of all comfort.
Closer to God than most of us.
And “brave” international socialism gets another kill!
Way to go, you malignant pukes!
Obviously, you know very little about Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II. http://www.christianpost.com/news/queen-elizabeth-jesus-christ-king-she-serves-90th-birthday-book-158353/
Good point I hadn’t considered the grandparents. You’re probably right about their complacency.
Amen.
Bet the judge was unhappy, might have preferred they named him mohamed and strapped a,bomb vest on him, for cultural enrichment purposes
At 11 months of age Charlie is an innocent in the eyes to God. He needs and as such is without need of protective intervention from men. Those responsible for his death are in a very dire and consequential situation however.
We spent some time in the NICU with our little Bear.
Some of those parents go through hell, and have no hope. I am glad they baptized little Charlie. We should pray for the family.
The injustice that oozes from this story reeks of satan’s fingerprints.
Britain will give all sorts of asylum, freebies, perks, and excuses for millions of jihadi’s hellbent on destroying them, but this innocent British Boy cannot get the care he needs due to “regulations” and “rules”?
He’ll be in Christ’s arms soon and woe to those who allowed this to happen!
Leftists, abortionists, raging feminazis and other subhumans are quietly cheering for this to happen. Within a day or two, one of them will let on what they really think.
Was it Rev Patrick Mahoney who baptized little Charlie? Article did not make that clear.
Not that it matters who baptized him, but Mahoney is an old hero of mine and very much a stand-up guy for the Sanctity of Life —— in this world and in the World to Come! He’s my fave Presbyterian.
