Myth—Abortion Doesn’t Matter

Doctor Performs Spina Bifida Surgery On Fetus!

The baby shown in the first photo is only as big as the loving hands that hold it. Perhaps that baby only weighed 1-2 pounds? I remember when my daughter Patty was born. She wasn’t much bigger than this. She could

literally fit in a small shoebox. Of course it didn’t take long for her to grow.

More amazing to me is that Jackie’s father Archie was born and only weighed an estimated 1-2 pounds. In the early 1900’s they didn’t have

incubators, but the mothers had compassion for their babies and would fight tooth and nail to help them survive. They had compassion for their babies while in the womb or out of the womb. In the case of Jackie’s father, Archie was placed in a small box on an oven door that was used to keep him warm.

He eventually grew strong enough to take off of the oven door and away from what had to be a wood or coal based heat source. That is Archie’s story as best I can recall. Yet, what if there had been no compassion in the heart of Archie’s mother? What then?
