Agreed. Baby with congenital diaphragmatic hernia recovering after parents refuse abortion https://www.liveaction.org/news/congenital-diaphragmatic-hernia-abortion/ In December 2021, during a sonogram at 24 weeks, a couple in Mumbai, India, learned their preborn baby boy named Shivansh Singh had a congenital diaphragmatic hernia, and his abdominal organs had entered his chest cavity through a hole in his diaphragm. Doctors recommended abortion, but his parents refused. According to the Hindustan Times, doctors determined that Singh had a congenital diaphragmatic hernia, also known as CDH, a rare condition in which the diaphragm, the muscle that separates the chest from the abdomen, fails to close during prenatal development. This opening allows organs in the abdomen to migrate into the chest, impacting the growth of the lungs. “Considering the fetal complications and need for advanced obstetric and neonatal care, we were advised abortion or immediate transfer to a tertiary care medical facility. From that very moment, we were certain that abortion wasn’t an option,” said the child’s father, Krishna Singh. Following the baby’s birth via C-section at 38 weeks gestation, a team of pediatric surgeons, neonatologists, gynecologists, and anesthetists immediately went to work. Singh was put on gentle ventilation due to his underdeveloped lungs and within 24 hours was in corrective surgery. The team of doctors was tasked with realigning the fragile internal organs while restructuring the diaphragm as a permanent clinical solution. The baby boy is now recovering and doing well. Last week, the 44-day-old baby was declared free of health complications and doctors said he can lead a normal life. Throughout the entire ordeal, his parents stayed positive. “We never lost hope, even when we were informed about the condition of our child the first time,” said Singh. Singh is not the only baby with a congenital diaphragmatic hernia who has defied the odds and gone on to live a healthy, thriving life. Last year, a baby was born with CDH in South Africa. After baby Ignus underwent surgery and treatment, he recovered and appeared to be thriving. Doctors said the case was a reminder that they can “achieve good outcomes even for highly compromised babies.” According to the pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute, it is estimated that 15.6 million abortions take place in India every year, where it is legal through 24 weeks of pregnancy and up to birth with special permission for a fetal anomaly. According to the Independent, a 36-year-old woman in India was recently allowed to undergo a full-term abortion simply because her baby had a prenatal diagnosis of spina bifida, a condition that can be aided with surgery either before or after birth. In January 2021, a couple from Chandigarh was granted permission to abort their 25-week-old baby due to a congenital defect. Singh’s successful surgery is a reminder that a disability is not a death sentence. Parents need access to resources and support so that they feel confident and free to choose life for their babies.

I get such a hoot watching foreigners totally misunderstand America.

My God, drugs have destroyed you.

Look at the Roe v Wade thread. Liberals are happy to murder babies by the millions. They don't care if they starve, unless it starts to cost them votes.

Gee, I guess all those thousands of Soviet millions pointed at North America were all in our imaginations right? And of course the KGB never tried to infiltrate the West, right? Right? Right Mr. Ein-fucking-stein? Oh, and it must have been nice that you didn't have to build any missiles to point back, we did it all for you. Moron. George Carlin is an idiot and am imbecile. Wars are always started by men who seek power. Stalin, Hitler, Mao. Saddam Hussein into Kuwait, Napoleon, Caesar, etc. Their color is irrelevant. I am sure there ae a list of wars on the African continent started by evil black men too.

No, they do not. The Laws of nature are immutable. We may grow and learn more, and society and laws, under threat of jail, may force us to tap down or inner beasts and change our behaviors, as well as faith in God too, but in the end we are what we are, human beings, and our human nature is what it is. At any rate, none of that really has to do with the topic. Reflections on Hungary’s nationalism and whether the criticism it receives is fair. Should you be proud of your nation? Is it dangerous or unifying?

Brilliant response. Does anyone think that America did NOT win WWII? A moment of honest please: Many nations fought and many brave men died and I respect their sacrifice, but the truth is that the American manufacturing power and might is what armed the West. Production in England was obliterated and France had lost and other nations did not have the capacity. America's 2-ocean fleet and our war production machine is what won the war. And we were very nationalist, in the good way.

It must be nice to be so blissfully hopeful. Natures do not change. You think we are more civilized? LOL. Take away the technology and the creature comforts and people would resort to animal violence in a heartbeat.

More ignorance from the woman who thinks killing children is all gravy. Nationalism did NOT get us two world wars. In Hitler's case, is was a maniacal insane despot dictator who got us into a world war . . . a war which, by the way, was won by a very nationalist America, and we did not keep the lands we fought for but instead gave it all back it its rightful owners. How about just saying Thank You and then shutting up.

You are 100% correct

Well, I won't argue with you about your son. Such an argument would be bear no fruit. All I can say as a Christian is that we are all fallen, and we all have our particular weaknesses to different sins, and we are called to not give in to those weaknesses and to not sin. As Jesus said to the woman caught in adultery, Go and sin no more. And if you are a Christian, know that sodomy is indeed a sin, a grievous sin. Sin can always be forgiven, but only if one repents.

Negotiators should be following the lead of the nation's leader. Its sounds wonderful, but it would be a horror. People, cultures, religions, traditions, could not be served well. Hard core Muslims would immediately break away to form a government of Shariah law. Men who crave power will always exist and such a government would not last a week. Your view simply denies human nature. I will not have someone with totally different values and beliefs than mine in China or Iran be in some authority over me., Never.

The Latin word for "soul" is anima. It is where we get the word animation. The soul is the animating life force of the body. All corporeal living things have a soul. Spiritual beings, like angels, do not need a soul because they have no corporeal body to animate. They are pure spirit. Man is unique among Gods creation, for man's soul is a spiritual soul, a single thing. When our bodies die, our spirit lives on forever.

Hand of Hope is a 1999 medical photograph taken by Michael Clancy during open fetal surgery, showing the hand of the fetus extending from the incision in the mother's uterus and seeming to grasp a surgeon's finger. Clancy was documenting a procedure being developed at Vanderbilt University to treat spina bifida. The photograph was taken on 19 August and the baby (Samuel Alexander Armas) was safely delivered on 2 December. The photograph was taken during a medical procedure to fix the spina bifida lesion of a 21-week-old fetus. The operation was performed by a surgical team at Vanderbilt University in Nashville. The team, Dr. Joseph Bruner and Dr. Noel Tulipan, had been developing a technique for correcting certain fetal problems in mid-pregnancy. Their procedure involved temporarily opening the uterus, draining the amniotic fluid, partially extracting and performing surgery on the tiny fetus, and then restoring the fetus to the uterus back inside the mother. Dear @Aristidesand @Goddess , if you can say with a straight face that this child in the womb is something that you have the right to kill and dispose of, then you are truly reprobate evil people. I would even call you women.

Bottom Line: @Aristides wants to be able to legally murder this child:

YOU are ridiculous. Disney political donations have many Florida politicians in their hip pocket. Democrats are bought and sold like hookers. I say again, so that you can understand: FIRST: The people of Florida passed a law by way of their elected leaders that they did not want little kids exposed to sexual issues. That is their right, and it was done the way a democracy works. NEXT: A billionaire from Disney in an entirely different state did not like the law and decided to interfere in Florida's democracy by using corporate power to overturn the will of the people. That is what happened Beaver. Now, Disney, which also had assets in Florida, was getting away with sweetheart deals of paying no taxes. I believe it was Bernie Sanders who said that companies need to pay their fair share, so DeSantis said, its time for you to start. Let that be a lesson to you for trying to thwart our democratic process. And once again as a reminder: Sick filthy degenerate teachers were grooming little kids 5 to 8 years old in schools with their sexual opinions. Disney supported that. The people of Florida did not like that. The people of Florida won, thank God So far you and Luz are siding with the quasi-pedophiles and against democracy. Agreed

Yessir Never heard of her. My country is in perilous danger. I am angry at anyone who detracts from the few brave people trying to expose the biggest crime in our history. Perhaps in normal times I would be okay with the critique. These are not normal times. If she feels that way then she should make a documentary following one mule instead of criticizing Dinesh. Then we would have 2 films, more exposure, and more awareness.

Trump called them Fake News and he was right. They are actually much worse then that. By lying and spreading propaganda they are a threat to democracy. Fortunately their ratings are in the toilet.

Mark Levin on 14th Amendment debate, Hillary's server saga - Aug. 20,2015

Hey kids, lets take a trip back in time to May 7, 2015 and check out this article: Birthright Citizenship -- A Fundamental Misunderstanding of the 14th Amendment https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/birthright-citizenship-a-fundamental-misunderstanding-of-the-14th-amendment What’s the citizenship status of the children of illegal aliens? That question has spurred quite a debate over the 14th Amendment lately, with the news that several states, including Pennsylvania, Arizona, Oklahoma, Georgia and South Carolina, may launch efforts to deny automatic citizenship to such children. Critics claim that anyone born in the United States is automatically a U.S. citizen, even if their parents are here illegally. But that ignores the text and legislative history of the 14th Amendment, which was ratified in 1868 to extend citizenship to freed slaves and their children. The 14th Amendment doesn’t say that all persons born in the U.S. are citizens. It says that “[a]ll persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof” are citizens. That second, critical, conditional phrase is conveniently ignored or misinterpreted by advocates of “birthright” citizenship . . . . . . . . Its original meaning refers to the political allegiance of an individual and the jurisdiction that a foreign government has over that individual. The fact that a tourist or illegal alien is subject to our laws and our courts if they violate our laws does not place them within the political “jurisdiction” of the United States as that phrase was defined by the framers of the 14th Amendment. This amendment’s language was derived from the 1866 Civil Rights Act, which provided that “[a]ll persons born in the United States, and not subject to any foreign power” would be considered citizens. Sen. Lyman Trumbull, a key figure in the adoption of the 14th Amendment, said that “subject to the jurisdiction” of the U.S. included not owing allegiance to any other country. As John Eastman, former Dean of the Chapman School of Law, has said, many do not seem to understand “the distinction between partial, territorial jurisdiction, which subjects all who are present within the territory of a sovereign to the jurisdiction of that sovereign’s laws, and complete political jurisdiction, which requires allegiance to the sovereign as well” . . . . . . . . . It is just plain wrong to claim that the children born of parents temporarily in the country as students or tourists are automatically U.S. citizens: They do not meet the 14th Amendment’s jurisdictional allegiance obligations. They are, in fact, subject to the political jurisdiction (and allegiance) of the country of their parents. The same applies to the children of illegal aliens because children born in the United States to foreign citizens are citizens of their parents’ home country . . .

Chief Justice Roberts in a 2018 case dealing with cell phone geotracking and privacy issues: “When the Government tracks the location of a cell phone, it achieves near perfect surveillance as if it had attached an ankle monitor to the phone’s user.”

Youre an idiot. What the hell does respecting the Right to Life have to do with the Taliban you half wit.
