You may not find them demonstrating in front of clinics, or holding rallies or marches. Maybe it's because they are busy doing those thousand extra things that come with having an extraordinary child. On the be not afraid website there are dozens of stories from parents who faced a decision upon learning of discouraging medical news. It is simply encouragement for prospective parents who have been given a difficult prenatal diagnosis, and are thinking about abortion. Our family's story is in there somewhere.

Joe, hope you don't mind, but I stole this photo and put it up on my blog, along with a link to this story!

Thank you for this. I often find that we're inundated with images of pro-life activists causing mayhem rather than with actual images of life. It's always nice to see places where the former is absent and the latter thrives.
