Heather and Nick Maberry of Stanton, Kentucky got the tragic news that their unborn daughter had anencephaly, a condition not compatible with life. Kentucky doesn’t allow abortion so the couple traveled to Chicago for a late-term abortion after the fifth month of pregnancy. They opted for a dismemberment abortion. The title aptly describes what is done to the baby – limb by limb – in the womb. Afterward, the couple lashed out against Kentucky’s pro-life laws because they couldn’t hold the baby and say goodbye – a baby whose life they intentionally cut short. Somehow a violent late-term abortion, discriminating against a baby with a profound disability, is considered compassion by those involved. Compassion would’ve been delivering the child and loving her until God took her home.
