A year and a half ago in Brazil, Cacilda Galante Ferreira gave birth to a girl, ignoring doctors’ advice to abort her because she did not have a complete brain. Some medical professionals claim babies with that condition cannot live outside the womb. Today, Marcela is healthy and responds to family members.
“It is not right to be so cruel as to kill that small and innocent child,” Ferreira told LifeSiteNews.com. “Little Marcela came into the world to touch our hearts and to show us the true meaning of life."
Nearly 95 percent of babies who are missing part of their brain are aborted, according to the Kennedy Institute of Ethics at Georgetown University.
TAKE ACTION
Ask your U.S. senators to support the Prenatally and Postnatally Diagnosed Conditions Awareness Act (S. 1810), which provides parents with up-to-date information concerning the life expectancy and treatment options for a child with an adverse diagnosis.
