Two Groups Celebrate

From today's Patriot Post, a story to celebrate:

Fifteen-week-old Macie McCartney is far too young to know her doctors’ names, but the medical community certainly knows her. Four months into mother Keri’s pregnancy, doctors identified a rare tumor growing on Macie’s tailbone, and as it was siphoning blood from her and weakening her heart, it threatened to be fatal.

In a delicate prenatal operation performed at just 25 weeks, surgeons at the Texas Children’s Fetal Center incised Keri’s abdomen, took out her entire uterus, cut into it, removed Macie halfway, and then expertly removed the non-cancerous tumor, which was the size of a grapefruit. Surgeons then tucked little Macie back inside the safe haven of her mother’s womb, where, with no further complications, she grew for another 10 weeks before entering the world... a second time.

The condition Macie survived affects one in 35,000 babies, but the type of surgery preformed on Macie has been successfully completed fewer than 20 times. Yet, while some would have used this apparent death sentence to justify a different—and horrific—procedure, Chad and Keri McCartney refused to give up. And today, they are blessed with a healthy new daughter, Macie Hope McCartney.

And, from yesterday's Detroit Free Press, a story that reports what the Michigan abortion industry has to celebrate, thanks to its useful tool in the Governor's mansion.
