And for those in the great "moderate" middle, who have a vague uneasiness about abortion, yet think it should remain an on-demand option for American mothers, I recommend these two poignant stories as a way of coming to grips with the truth about the whole issue of life.
In this era of jaded, self-centered living, when women are told they can destroy their pre-born babies for the sake of mere convenience, it is inspiring to find a mother with such love that she would lay down her life for her child.
Mary Beth Janovich is now nine years old. Susan Anne Catherine Torres is a premature newborn struggling for life. Both have been given an incredibly legacy of life in a culture of death.
