Pro-life vid of the day: Frozen ovary restores woman’s fertility
by Hans Johnson
A young Congolese immigrant to Belgium was diagnosed with sickle-cell anemia, and when at age 13 a bone-marrow transplant was in order, another procedure was done. Too often chemotherapy can damage or destroy future fertility, so one of her ovaries was removed and frozen.

So why didn’t she adopt? There are over 100,000 children eligible for adoption in this country alone. Be honest, all the we people waiting for adoption want healthy infants. They don’t want older kids. When those 100,000 plus are given loving homes I’ll stop gagging on the hypocrisy.
