In 2.5 years, there have been zero criminal prosecutions against doctors for performing emergency abortions or miscarriage care. Why the fear-mongering?
I had the profound privilege of walking beside a young couple who were expecting a Trisomy 13 baby. The young woman refused to abort her unborn baby when its condition was discovered. She delivered Ariana. She held her baby, dressed her baby, and loved her the three hours they had together. People in the community raised funds to provide for a service and burial for this precious life. It was a blessing to be a part of this sweet girl’s life, even if it was brief.
