Put your money where your mouth is

Susan Torres, a 26 year-old pregnant woman, collapsed early last month. She was taken to the hospital where she was diagnosed with stage four melanoma and pronounced brain dead. That's a tough, bitter pill for her husband to swallow. Besides loving the unborn child, he knows that his wife would want every measure taken to ensure that the baby lives. So Susan languishes on life support while her baby grows inside her. This is not a common occurrence and is not a slam dunk. The baby faces all sorts of challenges ahead. So does dad, as he faces the emotional, physical, spiritual difficulties associated with losing his wife, continuing to be a daddy to his 3 year-old son, and paying astronomical medical bills. Yes, there's insurance but not near enough to cover the $7,500 a day hospital bill.

As Christians, we're always preaching about the right to life. We "encourage" women to gut it out and carry the baby. We tell the pro-abortion crowd that "we stand behind the mothers". Well here's a chance to stand behind the daddy who is making the toughest decision he'll ever make. Let's stand behind Jason Torres in prayer... and in a tangible way.
