Support the HydroWALK
The little guy was going to be born with complications, hydrocephalus, “water on the brain.” The doctor recommended ending the life of the baby: an abortion. “We should terminate the pregnancy,” said the physician, forgetting the original Hippocratic Oath.
Cole, now age three.
“Quality of life would be poor,” the doc continued. “Unending challenges, facing constant failure...”
The father interrupts, “Let’s give the baby a chance.”
“The baby?” the doctor is surprised. “I’m talking about you.”
Abortion providers will speak in code to describe the surgical procedure and its justification. “Quality of Life” is used in speaking about the child who will be born with challenges. The doctor and the parents will nod knowingly about the difficulties the child will have in making his way in the world.
But what they are really thinking about is how the challenged-child will crimp the lifestyle of the parents and grandparents. No room in the Beemer for a wheelchair.
“Uh, yes,” the parents mutter, “Yes, terminating the pregnancy is best for the...fetus.”
A mercy killing.
On September 7th, Michael Illions is helping to host a HydroWALK in Edison, New Jersey to raise money and awareness for Hydrocephalus. Last year in 2007, they raised over $55,000 and hope to exceed that total this year.
The New Jersey State Legislature has designated September 2008 “Hydrocephalus Awareness Month” in the State of NJ and former Governor Christie Todd-Whitman will be the Honorary Chairperson for this year’s event.
Alert Readers will recall that Governor Todd-Whitman is pro-abortion and is in favor of Partial Birth Abortion. Her support is nevertheless welcomed.
Please sponsor Michael and his son Cole in his fund-raising work. Donate here. Your Business Blogger(R) did.
It is not known how Barack Hussein Obama reacts when such little ones are born. He actively rejected and campaigned against the Infant Born Alive legislation. He is in favor of some babies that are born alive, to die.
John McCain is Pro-Life. See the Obama vs McCain Live-Birth Abortion Matrix
