With all the discussion around aborting children because of a diagnosis or prognosis, I want to share a story that hits close to home.
Around 20 weeks into a pregnancy, a family very close to Brittany and me was told by multiple physicians that their baby had virtually no chance of survival and that termination was the best option.
Wanting another opinion, Brittany reached out to a local OB-GYN. His response was simple: "I'm not so sure. Never underestimate the power of prayer."
So that's exactly what we did.
Today, that little boy is here. He's healthy, thriving, perfectly normal, and handsome to boot.
This story reminds me of two things: life is worth protecting, and even the most confident medical prognoses are not always correct. Sometimes there is more hope than we're told.
