Blogs4Life and the FRC Remember the 35th Anniversary of Roe v. Wade
From Blogs4Life via email:
The Third Annual Blogs4Life Conference (blogs4life.com ) is scheduled for TUESDAY January 22, 2008 in Washington DC. I’m writing with some exciting news with the hope that you’ll be able to attend.
The Family Research Council is providing a first class meeting facility just a few blocks from the annual March for Life, the massive pro-life event which draws tens of thousands of pro-lifers (some estimate the crowd at well over 100,000) . A morning session is scheduled before the March with over a dozen well-known pro-life speakers including Kevin McCullough (MC), Jill Stanek, Judie Brown, Eric Scheidler, Barbara Curtis, Dawn Eden, Phill Kline, Michael New, Michael Illions, Maggie Datiles, Michelena Fredenburg, Peter Shinn and Rep. Chris Smith.

An afternoon session from Noon to 4 PM will be held in a luxurious room close to the Capitol building overlooking the March for Life. Internet access will be provided for live-blogging and a 50-inch flat screen monitor will broadcast the Rally and March for Life as it occurs. In addition, several pro-life leaders will be available for interviews and commentary.
You can watch it all via webcast if you aren’t going to be there.
Here’s one story that will be told–Michael Illions from Polipundit shares his story.
I hope many of you will be attending the Family Research Council’s ‘Blogs for Life’ Conference on Tuesday, January 22nd. If you can’t make it live, they will be offering a live webcast of the event.
Not only will I be participating as a blogger, I am also a speaker. In March of 2005, at my wife’s 2nd tri-mester screening, where we would find out the babies sex, things didn’t go quite as planned. Our baby, which we found out was going to be a boy, had serious brain issues and his head was filled with fluid, in fact, at that point, there was no evidence that a brain had even developed.
We were taken to a room where we were, and let me be clear about this, URGED many times in those 2 hours of meetings to terminate the pregnancy, not just by the ultrasound doctor but they also brought in a geneticist who showed us all kinds of pictures of children with Trisomy and severe forms of Down Syndrome, something they predicted the baby would have. They couldn’t seem to grasp the answer NO.
There is alot more to the story of dire predictions and poor diagnosis, but I don’t want to go on and on ..
But to cut to the chase, the Doctors offered us death and we chose LIFE. Cole has a condition called Hydrocephalus and is shunted to treat that condition. He doesn’t have Trisomy or Down Syndrome either. He’s not hooked up to machines 24/7 as they predicted, nor does he have “no quality of life”, yet another prediction. Oh, and he has a fully developed and working BRAIN.
It’s a story that needs to be said.. On Tuesday, January 22nd, Cole’s story will be told. Will you be listening ?
