A couple who were advised to abort their baby when doctors said he had a rare brain disorder have spoken of their joy after their "miracle son" was born in perfect health.
Little Brandon Kramer was diagnosed with rhomboencephalosynapsis a condition so rare it affects fewer than one in a million people worldwide while he was still in the womb.
Doctors warned his mother and father that Brandon would be born deaf and blind and would probably survive only for a couple of hours.
It is believed to be the first time in Britain that the condition has been diagnosed during pregnancy and Becky Weatherall and her partner Kriss Kramer were offered a termination up to just weeks before the birth.
But the couple defied doctors' advice and their son was born healthy on October 1 last year.
Now Brandon is teething and attempting to talk, and Kriss, 24, from Pembroke Dock, South Wales, said: "The fact that he is here now, alive and kicking, truly is a miracle."

I was born disabled and have warned many people including my brother (who believes anything someone tells him, thus he is for Obama) that once we get state run healthcare the sick and handicapped will be denied even palitaive treatment.
My father recently died of cirrhosis and was on pure medicaid with no private insurance and if it wasn't for us checkin in on him 6-8 hours per day, he would have died much sooner.

I am reminded of Rick Santorum and his wife, who allowed their doomed son to be born, never considered abortion and made the best of a bad situation, honoring God and loving their boy as they went. Like this couple, they took the brave, life-affirming approach. Unlike them, the doctor was not wrong, and the Santorums sat with their son as he died after an induced childbirth.
And the liberal media (most notably Terri Gross of NPR's "Fresh Air") called it a "late-term abortion" and grilled him about his dead son the way they grilled Dubya about Katrina response. I heard Gross do it on live radio, and it was all I could do to resist hating her guts.
Molech is a very jealous god.

This seems an appropriate thread to post this link - http://www.chask.org/ (sorry, I don't know how to make it "hot" but you can copy and paste...)
The people posting here would probably either know about this group already or like to know about them, they are doing the Lord's work.
