22 Weeks

Is the name of a new short film by Angel Manuel Soto, based on the true story of a woman who struggled to keep her baby alive after an induced abortion which resulted in the live birth of her baby.

Unfortunately, there are reports that the same thing has been happening here in Canada too...at places like Calgary Foothills Hospital, where In August of 1998, a baby was born alive after an abortion - the child in this instance reportedly lived for 12 hours.
Just imagine that. A baby gets the death sentence because she had the unmitigated gall to be unwanted...or because she failed to be normal by our culture's standards, or to not be too much of a burden.

Despite what pro-aborts will tell us, late term abortions do happen in this 'civilized' country. I was offered a "termination of pregancy" at over 24 wks (6 mos) when I was pregnant with Willy because he had a Congenital Cystic Adenomatoid Malformation and a Diaphragmatic Hernia.
THIS could have been Willy. Just let that one sink in for a moment...I have...and it scares me half to death.
He was born completely healthy regardless of the not-so-promising prognosis. Even after he was born healthy and breathed on his own with little intervention, the doctors still wouldn't accept the fact that he was healthy, telling me "don't get your hopes up. We'll probably find out that he really isn't ok and it just didn't show up on the scans."

I'm so thankful to God that these issues are starting to get out from behind the abortion clinic and hospital doors. If we would only be faced with this horrifying reality, we might be more persuaded to act. Evil thrives where no one can see it.
