Mom & Dad: Vote NO to protect premature babies

- On August 24, 2020, baby Abigail Rose LaVoy was born via emergency cesarean section at 23 weeks gestation at Sparrow Hospital in Lansing. Little Abby weighed only 1lb 1.4oz. A five month stay in the Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU) then followed for Abby while mom and dad, Julie and Nick, watched and wept and hoped and prayed. Today Abby is a thriving two-year-old toddler. Deo gratias.
Proposal 3 seeks to redefine the medical definition of "fetal viability" in Michigan. The proposed constitutional amendment bases viability upon whether there is “significant likelihood” the premature baby would survive without “extraordinary medical measures.”
That means any premature baby needing attention in the NICU after birth would not meet this standard, and if a health care professional agreed and the mother consented, a NICU premature baby could be denied life-saving care under this proposal.
"When I was reading it, that's heartbreaking," says mom, Julie, "Obviously, Abby's was an extreme case in the NICU but there were others that weren't as extreme, or were full term, infants that had a medical reason to be there."
"I mean, you could have even just a mom who was diabetic and, so, that baby typically goes to the NICU for care and it could just be for an IV. So does that mean that that baby isn't deemed viable? Yes, the word that I keep thinking of is 'horrible'."

I am so thankful that my brother also got this extraordinary care when he was born. He was born at 24 weeks. Other than Asthma, he has grown into a perfectfully healthy adult man. I love him a bunch. Thank you so much to the parents and families that spend months in the NICU supporting these little lives. It is totally worth it.
In my experience, getting people to agree that the baby is a human being is the first hurdle to overcome with the radical, so-called "pro-choice" people; a second major hurdle, is getting them to agree that a mother should not have the right to kill her own baby. They truly and deeply believe that women should have that "right". We are living in a time way beyond Baal.
I think we are missing the point. I believe that any rational person would agree that abortion ends a human life. Whether or not the person is capable of self-care is not relevant. Newborn babies cannot take care of themselves, for example. In my opinion, in order to have a productive debate about abortion and the rules surrounding abortion, all sides must agree that abortion ends a human life. That should be the starting point for any debate regarding abortion and any subsequent rules/laws enacted.
What's wrong with people Why would you not want to save a child after birth. Good Lord 🙏
I sure hope the Catholic church is also lobbying for universal health care which would relieve parents of the financial burden of extraordinary medical measures needed to save the life of premature babies.
Already voted yes. Because it's the right thing to do.
No, it’s not. The fact that you can comment that on this video speaks for itself. Prayers sent to you, a lost soul 🙏
