Every day of Baby Angela’s life is a gift from God. She was born with anencephaly, an often-fatal condition that develops in utero where part of the child’s brain is missing and the skull does not completely close. Most babies diagnosed with anencephaly are aborted. Angela’s mother explains why she’s a miracle baby:
Morales, a parishioner at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Church in Providence, said doctors predicted Angela would likely be stillborn or die within a few hours or days following her birth. But on September 23, Angela will turn six months old.
“Everything she’s doing they said she wouldn’t be able to do,” said Morales, as her husband, Rony, holds Angela, and their older daughter, Elizabeth, 5, looks on. “She smiles when we talk to her, and she’s responding to our voices and our love. She’s starting to crawl, and she can scoot three feet. She cries when she’s hungry, and lets us know what she doesn’t like. She loves to be touched, and she loves kisses. We were prepared for the worst, but God had other plans.”
Baby Angela’s story is a reminder that all life is precious. But of course, there are pro-abortion radicals who hate such unconditional love and selfless compassion and think they know what’s best for this woman and her family (proof that some people really are pro-abortion, not pro-choice). Her response to these people is nothing short of amazing:
She said she recently received a message from someone who accused her of being a religious fanatic, claiming that aborting a fetus with a birth defect is “merciful.”
“Their defense was that the child won’t have a full life,” said Morales. “But what guarantee do you have? Some people have everything in life and they are miserable. Angela is not suffering. She’s full of love, and where there is love, there is life. I responded back that I had the baby because of pure love. Mercy is loving someone with their imperfections. No one is perfect. We just need to love them despite their imperfections, and give them the best life possible.”
