‘While we waited, we tried to pray, but we didn’t know what to pray for. So we spent our days and nights telling our daughter how much we loved her, how sorry we were, and how we wished we could do something different.”

So they were praying to have had the ability to abort the baby instead of letting it be born naturally. I find it hard to feel sympathy here.

An indivdual, tragic case.

Show me 10 of those. Show me 100 of those. Show me 1000.

You cannot justify 50 million dead babies on the basis that a woman in Nebraska went through a difficult experience.

Abortion is wrong. It cannot be justified.

This was a premature delivery. The law is designed to stop late term abortions for non-medical reasons. The law is good.

I don’t understand why a foetis cannot be anesthetized before a necessary abortion.

The death of a baby is tragic, whether it happens after the baby is born or before. It’s easy to imagine that you could have spared yourself they agony of experiencing it by having an abortion, but then you wouldn’t have had the opportunity to hold the baby tell her how much you loved her. When thing get really tough, it’s best to count your blessings, no matter how difficult it may seem to find them.

So they are sad a baby died or that they had to see it die?

It’s good that they were not allowed deliberately to kill their child. I hope that they realize this someday - that *not killing* is best.

So... we should have slaughtered it like an animal instead? That would have been more humane than letting the child breathe and have a chance?

Who really thinks like that?

If they’d had the abortion procedure it could have been either torn limb from limb or burned alive in saline ... and the poor things wouldn’t have had to undergo the agonizing experience of watching it suffer.

“doctors told the couple that their baby had almost no chance of surviving”

My nephews were born at 23 weeks...glad they didn’t have this doctor.

My grandboys were born way premature, about the size of a woman’s fist. Just looking at them I believed they had no chance. They were in incubators for weeks.

They’re 21 now. Nice kids.

So wait...they wanted to abort the baby so it wouldn’t experience pain? What the heck do these people think the baby would have felt if they’d aborted it?

It sounds to me less like they cared about whether the baby was in pain and more like they are upset they had to watch their baby die? Are they crazy? They had fifteen minutes with their child...that’s more than some people ever get. They would rather murder a child than hold their own baby for even a brief moment?

These people are rotten and selfish.

So her water broke and the doctors gave up? I’ve hear of many cases where delivery was delyed for weeks, even months to give the baby a chance. http://www.babycenter.com/204_polish-woman-saves-premature-babies-with-75-days-in-labor_10364797.bc

This entire article is a farce. These people couldn't DRIVE to one of the adjoining states if this was that much of a burden? The state of Nebraska can be WALKED in the a matter of five days in any direction. Regardless of location, they could have DRIVEN to any adjoining state in less than two hours.

Regardless, this is all about HER wants and desires. As soon as a problem arose and the child may have been less than perfect, she wanted OUT! They are the typical Westerner, Fat, stupid, spoiled and selfish.

As far as all the pain, my wife and I have buried a child who had special needs. Not once was I unhappy about any of the time we where afforded to spend with him.

I’d rather have the chance to hold my baby for a couple of hours than to have it ripped apart before even being born.

They loved her enough to want to kill her.

I assume that Nebraska would have had her (or her doctor) put in jail if she had gone to another state, to exercise her RIGHT.
