Bloggers Save a Life

Thanks to Hundred Percenter for the following link. Yet another reason to read some of your favorite blogs -- I wonder if Dan Rather has ever....oh, never mind.

Thanks to the efforts of members and lurkers on Free Republic and their friends with pro-life email lists around the country, a baby's life was saved last August.

An urgent request for adoption by a sidewalk counselor in Glendale California was posted here August 24, 2004 (original post). The single mother was told her baby had Downs Syndrome and for that reason no one would want to adopt her baby.

Our Blessed friend in Glendale was eventually flooded with over 600 emails from Freepers and their friends willing to adopt the baby. The mother was so overwhelmed that she decided to carry the baby to term, and eventually decided to keep her baby.

The little girl was born January 5th and the mother and grandparents adore her.
