Life Dynamics has just released excerpts of an emotional interview conducted for this month’s edition of Life Talk.
The interview features Deborah Cardamone, mother of 18-yr-old Marla (senior picture right), who tragically and needlessly died along with her baby during a supposedly “safe and legal” abortion – committed at a hospital, no less.
Abortion is nothing other than horrible.

Ryan identifies as Catholic and previously described himself as pro-life. He has supported several pieces of anti-abortion legislation during his time in Congress — including restrictions on minors seeking abortions, a ban on embryonic stem cell research, and a ban on so-called “partial birth” abortions.
But, according to his new op-ed, Ryan has since “come to believe that we must trust women and families — not politicians — to make the best decision for their lives.”
The congressman says he has listened to women across the country talk about their personal experiences with abortion. Some told him they became pregnant from abusive relationships or from sexual assaults. Others said they couldn’t afford to have another child.
Ryan heard from women who developed serious health issues during their pregnancies, and from underage girls are were afraid their parents would kick them out for getting pregnant.
“These women gave me a better understanding of how complex and difficult certain situations can become. And while there are people of good conscience on both sides of this argument, one thing has become abundantly clear to me: the heavy hand of government must not make this decision for women and families,” Ryan writes. “No federal or state law banning abortion can honestly and fairly take into account the various circumstances that make each decision unique.”…
Ryan’s change of heart may signal a potential path forward for reproductive rights supporters eager to shift the political landscape around abortion, which has remained largely unchanged for the past several decades.

Did this poor girl’s mother condone her daughter’s abortion? Did she send her down to the hospital to get rid of her daughter’s “inconvenience”…her own grandchild?
God help us.
This is a game changer and I am praying that Marla’s story will bring the HORRIFYING TRUTH of abortion to us all.
SpringTexas,
You are speculating. Your questions are moot.
Right now, as it stands, TODAY this mother is grieving her daughter and her grandson and we mourn with her and pray for justice!! She is doing a very courageous thing in allowing us to see her daughter.
Through this mother’s loss & the loss of this young woman’s life, we can move beyond the grief to put a face and name to “safe and legal” death statistics and hopefully compassion will motivate individuals on both sides to reach out with genuine compassion towards the grieving families (rather than just brush off women’s death as justifiable risks) and advocate for safer procedures and better regulation of both hospitals & clinics.
How far along was Marla? So heartbreaking to think she could be alive today with her son! Making abortion legal doesn’t make it safe. Abortion is always deadly. It destroys all who come in contact with it. I wonder if her story is at the cemetery of choice?
I almost can’t stand it but it is true and we must not run from the truth. This lady could have been me. Thank you God for your wonderful intervention.
Don’t forget this girl was 18 and did not need parental consent.
On another note, does anyone feel like they are doing something wrong when they put their drop cards out?? I keep thinking I am going to get escorted out of the store when I put them out such as in greeting card display.
I never actually saw the picture of Emmitt Till before, Horrifying! A young girl around here died of a drug overdose and her mother insisted on keeping the coffin open and the sight was not pretty but she wanted the other teens to see the reality of this. It was a hard funeral.
Marla didn’t want the abortion. She was browbeaten into it:

Thank you Christina!!
So sad :( .
What? No remark from Reality on this thread?
Sir, Marla’s death is real reality.
Tragic, for her and her child, and all those who loved them.
May the mercy of God be upon her and May she rest in peace..praying for strength & healing for her family…
