CNN is the worst.
Ah, yes, so instead of poisoning and dismembering her child for convenience's sake, this woman had to meet said child, hold him in her arms, look into his angelic face, and go through the agonizing loss that comes with the tragedy of death.
"He gasped for air a couple of times when I held him," said Dorbert, 33. "I watched my child take his first breath, and I held him as he took his last one."
Death awaits all of us. How we face death is of enormous importance.
What is the value of a person? Is it in their age, or perhaps their productivity?
If I knew that one of my children would die before reaching adulthood, would it be more merciful to kill them now?
Where does our value as humans lie?
Her doctors told her it was too late to terminate the pregnancy in Florida, which bans nearly all abortions after 15 weeks. The only options were to go out of state to get an abortion or to carry the baby to full term, and Dorbert and her husband didn't have the money to travel.
I cannot imagine what cowardice it would take to not want to hold your beautiful child in your arms. You should do everything in your power to give and save life, doctor's hubris and prognosis be damned, to fight against death and darkness with love and light.
Healthy or not, that is your child. That is your son. Not a mere piece of flesh to be discarded for convenience when deemed unfit. That child was made in the image of God; to destroy him is to take a knife to mar God's handiwork and reflection.
But that's the point, isn't it? Satan loves getting people to do his work for him.
And CNN is one of his chief servants in America.
That's right: Not only is this a ghoulish story, but the entire premise of attacking Florida's conservative politicians is wrong. Dobert could have gotten an abortion because the new law makes exceptions for terminal conditions.
Ros, an associate professor at the University of South Florida, said that after the law was passed, she and colleagues at Florida academic medical centers wrote a list of conditions they considered fatal fetal abnormalities. Renal agenesis – the absence of kidneys – was on the list.
Lies, damned lies, and statistics.
So did Dobert and her husband not know, or did they purposely carry the child to term so they could use their own dead son as fuel to fight for legalized infanticide and score a CNN interview?
May God have mercy.
My fourth child will, God willing, soon make her entrance upon this earth. Several months ago, we were told she might have a heart defect. Though we praise our Father in heaven that this now looks extremely unlikely, it forced us to face both the brevity and sacredness of life.
We are her parents, to whatever end. We will only give life, not take it. Man is not mere flesh, but spirit, and the spirits of the children who have been destroyed and cast aside by their parents cry out before the throne of God.
"If someone murders a fellow human, I will require that person's life." - Genesis 9:5b
Lord, help us reach CNN and the abortion machine. May they see their error and repent before it is too late and the darkness takes them forever.
