Good news for FAMILIES.

There is some good news to families who have a difficult time in maintaining a pregnancy.

Background (click here)
Between-hospital variation in outcomes among extremely preterm infants is largely unexplained and may reflect differences in hospital practices regarding the initiation of active lifesaving treatment as compared with comfort care after birth....

There is one study that was published in May 2015 in the "New England Journal of Medicine," that has found it reasonable to think a severely preterm infant can be considered for the Neonatal Critical Care Unit for infant survival.

In years past severely preterm infants had little to no lung function due to surfactant. There might be reasons to believe this can change and give expectant parents hope.

Republicans have a political agenda defined in saving every PREGNANCY to result in an institutionalized child. It is a cruel agenda and grossly ill conceived. It is based in religious self-righteousness and has no place in our laws. The Republicans carry out this political agenda while they cut food stamps, refuse the Medicaid extension and end federal funding to support college educations. The Republican Party is an abhorrence to this country and nothing short of it.

Religion has a right to define life at conception, government does not!

The persecution of Planned Parenthood is about politics, not the law.
