If the roles were reversed and a surrogate aborted a disabled baby against the biological parents wishes, pro-aborts would scream, “Her body, her choice.”
Funny how “choice” always means siding with whoever wants the baby dead.
Pro-choice doesn’t exist.
It’s all pro-abortion.
“But the story of surrogate mother McKenna West will lead to surrogacy being banned!”
Good. Renting women’s wombs and commodifying children should never have been legal in the first place.
Nick Vujicic entered the world on December 4, 1982, in Melbourne, Australia, born with tetra-amelia syndrome, an extremely rare condition that left him without arms and legs.
His parents were devastated at first, and Nick spent much of his childhood struggling to understand why he was different.
School was especially difficult. He endured years of bullying, isolation and depression, and at just 10 years old, he attempted to take his own life.
What stopped him was the thought of the pain his parents would suffer if he was gone.
Over time, Nick learned to adapt and become remarkably independent. He taught himself to write, type, use a computer, brush his teeth, shave, answer the phone, swim, surf, fish and even play sports using his small left foot, which has two toes.
He later graduated from university with a Bachelor of Commerce degree, majoring in Accounting and Financial Planning.
At 17, Nick began speaking publicly about faith, hope and resilience. What started as talks to small groups eventually turned into a global mission.
Through his organization, Life Without Limbs, he has shared his message with millions of people in schools, prisons, stadiums, churches and conferences in more than 70 countries, encouraging countless individuals facing hardship, disability, bullying and mental health struggles.
Nick married Kanae Miyahara in 2012, and together they have built a family with four children. He has also authored several books, including Life Without Limits, and continues to travel the world proving that limitations do not have to define a person's future.
From a boy who once believed his life had no purpose to a husband, father, author and internationally recognized speaker, Nick Vujicic's journey remains one of the most inspiring examples of perseverance, faith and the power of choosing hope despite overwhelming odds.
As a pediatric neurosurgeon and a man of faith, I know every child bears the fingerprints of our Creator. A difficult diagnosis does not diminish a child’s worth. McKenna West showed extraordinary courage in defending Gabriel’s life. Candy and I are praying for him and his medical team.
@BlakeSNeff Have some compassion people. Someone died! You’ll all be begging for compassion when your time comes and you will be reminded of the hate you spew.
Almost 5,000 people waited for hours in the rain at a swabbing event in Worcester, to get tested to see if they were a match to help save the life of a five-year-old boy fighting a rare cancer, after his parents asked for help
People are talking about the medical necessity of abortion to save the mother's life. I was one of those mothers.
I was diagnosed with an aggressive cancer that was cutting off my airway at 20 weeks of pregnancy. I will never forget when the first doctor, an oncologist, mentioned abortion. We had gone thru years of infertility to get pregnant. I knew I would rather die and give birth. Then I met with another doctor who listed all of the problems the baby would have if I did not terminate. I stood my ground and refused. He said, "That is ok. The baby will probably spontaneously abort anyway."
I searched and found good doctors that supported me, and I gave birth to a healthy baby at 34 weeks.
I will be celebrating 10 years cancer free in May. I have a healthy, beautiful, bright, precious 10 year old daughter who is a living reminder that doctors do not know everything” - Sarah Hull
@creaknbones@StroutMotivateU@EBasilion This is scarily sad. Thank you for sharing as often we choose options that may aesthetically seem better, but fatal.
For #NationalSurrogacyWeek we share contract clauses, like this one, to demonstrates the reality of #surrogacy.
It's not quite two for the price of one, a surrogate mother will be paid more for extra babies, but if there are *too many* babies then there's 'foetal reduction'.
