Hard Cases and Abortion
Article Excerpts (Spring-Summer 2023):
...."Before Noah Wall was born, his parents were told that he didn’t have a brain. They were advised five times to abort him, and five times they refused. Noah’s parents were told that he had very little chance of survival and that, if he did survive, he would be unable to talk, see, hear, or eat. "But this amazing six-year-old can now do all of those things! Noah defied the odds by growing a brain. When he was born, he had about 2% of his brain. With the help of a radical brain training center, his brain has grown to 80%." ....

Article Excerpts (11/12/21):
"Bethan and Kieran are now hoping to raise awareness about spina bifida and the outcomes children with the condition can have.
Bethan went on: “It’s not a death sentence and I don’t think termination should be the first point of call”.
“Even if she didn’t have the surgery, I know she still would have had a good quality of life”.
“She may have still walked but needed to use splints but why do we judge that?”

Dr. Paul Byrne: From preemies to end-of-life issues...
Article Excerpts (Spring 2017):
'When five-year-old Lilliana Dennis was born in February 2011 in Indianapolis, doctors informed her mom and dad that she suffered from a rare genetic condition that was “incompatible with life.” As Lilliana approaches her sixth birthday, she continues to defy the odds and prove conventional medical wisdom both wrong and wrongheaded.
Lilliana has Trisomy 18, also known as Edwards syndrome. As with Down syndrome, such babies are born with an extra chromosome, resulting in heart defects, respiratory problems, and finger and toe abnormalities. Most die before their first birthday, the doctors said, and there was little the Dennises could do to stop that eventual outcome.
Fortunately, the Dennises did some of their own research, which contradicted what they had been told. In fact, one child graduated from college and lived to the age of 42. The Dennises also befriended Dr. Paul Byrne, a retired neonatologist, longtime pro-life activist, and founder of the Life Guardian Foundation (LifeGuardianFoundation.org). He recommended heart surgery for Lilliana, along with other life-saving measures, and although the road has been difficult, Lilliana’s prognosis continues to improve."....
Abortion in Texas (Resource/History)
Wikipedia Excerpts:
Abortion in Texas is illegal in most cases.[1] A trigger law has been in effect since August 25, 2022, which bans abortion in all cases except to save the life of the mother.[2]
On September 1, 2021, abortion became illegal in Texas (under Senate Bill 8) in cases where embryonic cardiac activity can be detected.[3] This has been described as a de facto ban on abortions, as cardiac activity is detected earlier than when most women know that they are pregnant.[4][5] Before this, elective abortions were allowed up to 20 weeks post-fertilization.[6]
