Amazing! Just thinking of the children I know, there must be a dozen or so who wouldn't be here without her work.
God bless her for her concern and work. I hope it was enough to counter her advocating for abortion when she met Christ face to face. A bit ironic, that someone concerned with saving babies supported abortion. Charity does indeed cover a multitude of sins, and if saving hundreds of thousands of babies' lives and sparing their parents the unimaginable heartbreak that is losing a child, I don't know what is. Eternal rest grant unto thee, Dr. Avery. May God have mercy.
Wow, Amy... I had no idea about her pro-choice views. I must have missed that part when I was reading over a few different obits about her. I will confess that I had only recently read about her pioneering work and am just grateful that it was there to help lead other researchers on their ways to helping save premature babies.
