Please, please, I am begging you not to go over and attack this woman. Pray as hard as you can for her family, but don’t go over there. It is the hardest decision she could ever make. She is suffering enough without anyone making her feel worse. Obvoiusly, this baby is/was loved and wanted or she wouldn’t have pictures taken. Her family is suffering. Don’t make them feel any worse.

My neice went through this 4 years ago. Her baby’s kidneys didn’t develop. The doctors told her the baby would have to be on life support for over a year before they could attempt an operation. That was only if another family donated kidneys from their dead child. Can you imagine waiting for another child to die so yours might live?Please don’t judge her or this other woman.

God bless Elliot’s parents for their strength. Not everyone has that.

I don’t know where she is, so we can’t physically intervene at this time. However, I think JezuUfamTobie wrote an excellent response. Interventions in situations such as these should be made where possible, and they should be done with the compassion of Jesus at the stoning of the adulterous woman.

No one has gone over to attack the woman, though I would be attempted to smack some sense into her if I saw her in person (No, I wouldn’t really smack her). This is a prayer intention thread.

This child is BELIEVED to need surgeries following delivery and the parents have decided they don’t want him to GO THROUGH THAT SUFFERING.:confused:

Mind you, if she was attacked on the board that she posted on, perhaps she should have kept the information to herself until after she did the evil deed. This woman and her husband plus the medical staff involved are murderers and they don’t need to be shown mercy BEFORE they kill this innocent child.

I spoke with a retired maternity nurse yesterday (while asking her to pray for the situation), and she said that babies who are born early without intervention suffer horribly, straining for every breath and writhing in pain. Good way for them to avoid his suffering.

God gives us these pregnancies; it is up to Him to end them when He sees fit.
 
Several years ago I saw a Lifetime movie titled “Heart of a Child”. I am almost always a rock. I don’t cry in movies. Period.

However, I cried when I saw this one. It was the story of two unrelated pregnant women and their families. One found out her child had anencephaly (fatal, period) and the other’s had a fatal heart defect. Both decided to carry to term, the one knowing death was inevitable and the other hoping against hope for a miracle that would give her baby a new heart at birth.

After the birth of the child with anencephaly, the parents cradled her and loved her. They had not been told that organ donation was an option. Fortunately, the doc at the hospital asked them if they would consider it. He explained how it would work…that they would wait until the baby breathed the last time, then put her on artificial life support for organ donation.

At the same time, the other mother was around 37 wks. She was contacted and her labor was induced. They knew that he would need the heart transplant at birth or his death was also certain. That little boy received the heart of that little saint. I am almost crying recalling it.

This movie was based on a true story and was filmed when the boy was about 5-7 years old. They had a touching scene at the end where the movie parents of the girl came to meet the boy. The boy was the actual boy.

Point is, if organ donation will help the situation, it should be considered. Of course it is sad to think that another child has to die for that one to live. Should the donation come to pass, the child was going to die whether or not organs are donated. At least an obvious good would come of it. Had there been any way to donate Gabriel’s organs when he died, I would have considered it. To know that part of him beats and gives life to another child would make my own heart soar.

Although Gabriel’s physical organs may not be giving life to another, I have no doubt that he is helping many, many children with his prayers. It will amaze you when you get to Heaven and find out just how busy your sweet little Saint has been waiting for you! :heaven:

That definitely sounds like a tear-jerker movie! I almost cried just reading it. Imagine if Cristeen saw that movie last night? I wonder how God is going to intervene in her situation. For starters, He has sent many prayer warriors to battle over this 🙂 He’ll bring good out of the situation no matter what happens today.

Some good news… Cristeen ordered a silver jewelry box to contain her baby’s ashes. She said she liked that she could have it engraved and is “waiting for the dates”. In other words, she’s not sure when the baby will be born and/or die. In another discussion 10 days ago–before deciding to “terminate”–she seemed to want to continue her pregnancy to term and have a natural delivery at home, letting the baby die there (a morally permissable option). These things have given me some hope that she hasn’t made up her mind 100% yet.

KEEP THE PRAYERS COMING! The induction isn’t until this evening.
 
Thank you for the update. I was afraid the delivery was going to be this morning. I have many praying for this child and family.

O LORD, you have probed me, you know me:**** you know when I sit and stand; you understand my thoughts from afar.******* My travels and my rest you mark; with all my ways you are familiar.********** Even before a word is on my tongue, LORD, you know it all.********** Behind and before you encircle me and rest your hand upon me.********** Such knowledge is beyond me, far too lofty for me to reach.********** Where can I hide from your spirit? From your presence, where can I flee?********** If I ascend to the heavens, you are there; if I lie down in Sheol, you are there too.******* If I fly with the wings of dawn and alight beyond the sea,******* Even there your hand will guide me, your right hand hold me fast.******* If I say, “Surely darkness shall hide me, and night shall be my light” –******* Darkness is not dark for you, and night shines as the day. Darkness and light are but one.********** You formed my inmost being; you knit me in my mother’s womb.********** I praise you, so wonderfully you made me; wonderful are your works! My very self you knew;my bones were not hidden from you, When I was being made in secret, fashioned as in the depths of the earth. Your eyes foresaw my actions; in your book all are written down; my days were shaped, before one came to be.********** How precious to me are your designs, O God; how vast the sum of them!********** Were I to count, they would outnumber the sands; to finish, I would need eternity.********** If only you would destroy the wicked, O God, and the bloodthirsty would depart from me!********** Deceitfully they invoke your name; your foes swear faithless oaths.********** Do I not hate, LORD, those who hate you? Those who rise against you, do I not loathe?********** With fierce hatred I hate them, enemies I count as my own.********** Probe me, God, know my heart; try me, know my concerns.********** See if my way is crooked, then lead me in the ancient paths***.Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost.
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end,** Amen**
 
Here is a link with a little info on the movie.
brucegreenwood.com/mov-tv/heart/index.html

I think they named their baby Gabriel. It really was heartbreaking seeing the scene when the baby girl was born. Anencephaly doesn’t drastically alter the frontal appearance of the baby.

The site has a few sound bites from the movie.

Sam, I know Gabriel is doing great things. He’s also somehow teaching his baby sister all his old tricks! 😛 Figure that one out.
 
22 weeks, 6 weeks younger than I was when I was born. My parents were told I wouldn’t live long either. Here I am, 21 years later.

I will pray that God will save this child from being murdered. 😦

Thanks for the link! And that is just adorable! I bet one of her first words will be Halleluja 😉

Oh Good! I was wondering this afternoon as I was cleaning the house. I keep praying and hoping our prayers are enough. Thank you for the updates.

Isn’t it amazing how so many people are thinking about this one little baby? This little one hasn’t left my mind since I found out.

See how much good is coming from this situation already?

Yes, yes, yes…one baby has stolen the hearts of so many.
I can’t stop thinking about them. I pray Cristeen lets him live out the whole life God has intended for him.
 
This is about the time that Cristeen will be making or breaking her appointment. Please keep those prayers coming! God is doing great things with our prayers.
 
I cannot get this child out of my mind. I awoke in the middle of the night and prayed for this dear one and all of the other children who are never given a chance.:crying:
 
Cristeen had been online at around 8:00 pm Eastern time last night posting about cake recipes, and it shows that she was on again this morning at 10:30 am Eastern. No news about the baby though. My heart is hopeful. Please keep praying because this baby could be fighting for his life right now, and if Cristeen didn’t go to the appointment, she could be planning on rescheduling for a later date.

Sam, What kind of relationship do you have with this woman? Is she a fam friend, a relative, or something? I am just asking because I was wondering how you could approach her about this. Please don’t think I am asking that in an offensive way.

I don’t see how anyone could find that offensive 🙂 Unfortunately, this is only someone I’ve read about on another forum and I don’t know her at all in real life. Cristeen may not even be her real name, it’s just her user name. She hasn’t even responded to any of the messages or posts I’ve directed to her 😦 But at least she hasn’t said anything negative, and I hope she’s just quietly taking the pro-life message to heart.
 
You can add my prayers to this list! :gopray:

Lord God, I thank you today for the gift of my life,
And for the lives of all my brothers and sisters.

I know there is nothing that destroys more life than abortion,
Yet I rejoice that you have conquered death
by the Resurrection of Your Son.

I am ready to do my part in ending abortion.
Today I commit myself
Never to be silent,
Never to be passive,
Never to be forgetful of the unborn.

I commit myself to be active in the pro-life movement,
And never to stop defending life
Until all my brothers and sisters are protected,
And our nation once again becomes
A nation with liberty and justice
Not just for some, but for all.

Through Christ our Lord. Amen!
