Here’s some amazing news from the Cleveland Clinic, which is pretty timely, considering that birth defects like spina bifida have been invoked so often recently to defend late-term abortions, or even denying basic medical care to a child that was delivered despite an attempt to abort it.

The Cleveland Clinic reports in a press release:
Cleveland Clinic has successfully performed its first in utero fetal surgery to repair a spina bifida birth defect in a nearly 23-week-old fetus.
A multispecialty team of clinicians performed the surgery in February, and the baby, a girl, was later delivered by caesarean section near full term June 3, making it northern Ohio’s first surgery of its kind. Mother and daughter are doing well.
…
Spina bifida is a birth defect that is most often discovered during the routine anatomy scan typically performed when a fetus is around 18 weeks old.
Crazy how so many people would argue that the baby girl wasn’t a human being since she hadn’t been delivered yet; then again, there are more than a few “feminists” who consider a fetus nothing more than a parasite feeding off its host.
Screw them: this is awesome news.
Awesome news!

Beautiful, amazing wonderful news! Especially in the midst of so many in the media who want to forget that a fetus is a life.

If preborn children are patients, they are also people worthy of our nation's protection.

So glad this showed up in my timeline thanks to @MarthaByrne10! I was born with spina bifida. At 35 years-old, I’m grateful for the dedicated research and progress that has been made by multiple top medical facilities.?
