Babies born prematurely are surviving at earlier stages \u2014 the same ages when late abortions still legally occur. Most Americans are unaware that while Roe v. Wade<\/em> decriminalized abortion, its companion case, Doe v. Bolton<\/em>, essentially legalized abortion up to birth for any reason<\/em><\/a>.\u00a0Today, babies are tragically aborted at all stages of development, as evidenced by a recent Kentucky\u00a0report<\/a>\u00a0which showed that some babies are being aborted mere days before birth.<\/p>\n

Even as abortion violently and legally kills babies at all stages in the womb, medical advances are saving others.<\/p>\n

In 2015, the National Institutes for Health (NIH)\u00a0cited a study<\/a> showing that extremely preterm infants (those born before the 28th week of pregnancy) are surviving in greater numbers and escaping serious illness.\u00a0\u201cInfants born at 23 and 24 weeks survived in greater numbers over the 20-year period. Of those born at 24 weeks, for example, only 52 percent survived in 1993 while 65 percent survived in 2012,\u201d NIH wrote, adding, \u201cA higher number of premature infants survived without major illnesses. For infants born at 27 weeks, for example, survival without major illness increased from 29 percent in 1993 to 47 percent in 2012.\u201d<\/p>\n

Babies at later ages are legally killed by abortion all across the United States, including at multiple Planned Parenthood facilities. But they deserve a chance and a right to live \u2014 just as the babies mentioned below.<\/p>\n

Richard Scott William Hutchinson was born<\/a> at 21 weeks and two days and survived. Preemie Jemarius Jachin Harbor Jr. survived<\/a> after being born at 21 weeks gestation in December 2019, weighing just 13 ounces. Lyla Stensrud was also born<\/a> at 21 weeks and is a happy and healthy little girl.<\/p>\n

Many babies have also survived at 22 weeks, like twins Harley and Harry<\/a>, Leilani<\/a>, Stella<\/a>, Jimena<\/a>, and Russell<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Little Elsie Dutton was born premature<\/a> at just 23 weeks and weighing 1lb, 4oz at birth when after approximately one month in an incubator, doctors suggested her mom start cradling little Elsie skin-to-skin time against her body often referred to as kangaroo care.\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s crazy to think that me cuddling her was having such an impact \u2013 it saved her life,” her mom said.<\/p>\n

Born at a just 24 weeks,\u00a0Lucas Simpson<\/a> was over 100 days premature when he made his grand entrance into the world in June. Although Lucas was not born in the United States, pregnant mothers at that stage could seek an abortion up to an beyond 24 weeks in multiple places such as\u00a0Planned Parenthood<\/a>. Faithful pro-life activist John Barros regularly\u00a0rescues<\/a> preborn babies\u00a0later in pregnancy<\/a>,\u00a0outside<\/a> the\u00a0Women’s Center<\/a> abortion facility in North Florida.<\/p>\n

Kendall Jurnakins’ pregnant mother went into labor with him at just 25 weeks of pregnancy. Although Kendall was cared for in hospital for 460 days, the doctors\u00a0believe<\/a> he will live a healthy life and he has since been allowed to go home.<\/p>\n

Rory Ballantine was born at 25 weeks gestation<\/a> after his mom was diagnosed with severe pre-eclampsia, which can be life-threatening. As Live Action News previously<\/a> reported, there is no treatment for it, except to deliver the baby. So Ballantine underwent an emergency c-section, and Rory was born weighing just one pound. He was so small, Ballantine had to get clothes for him from Build-A-Bear Workshop \u2014 outfits designed for stuffed teddy bears. Babies at this stage could be taken to LeRoy Carhart’s\u00a0CARE<\/a> Clinics for Abortion & Reproductive Excellence in Bethesda, Maryland, to have their lives snuffed out for money.<\/p>\n

Chester Rice was\u00a0born<\/a> at 30 weeks and was given a 1% chance of survival when his mother’s water broke at just 19 weeks of pregnancy. Chester’s mom refused an abortion, but many women give into the fear of their doctor’s bad news and succumb to the pressure. At 19 weeks abortions are fairly common in most places while at 30 weeks you can still access abortion at Warren Hern’s\u00a0Boulder abortion facility<\/a> in Colorado, the Dupont\u00a0abortion facility<\/a> in Washington D.C., or Curtis Boyd’s Southwest Women’s Options abortion facility<\/a> in Albuquerque, NM.<\/p>\n
