If Michelle Butler were in another state other than Alabama, her children might not be able to enter the Guinness Book of World Records.
From ABC7:
An Alabama boy was born weighing less than 1 pound because his mother gave birth only 21 weeks and one day after pregnancy, and has proven to be the premature baby with the highest survival rate in the world.
The Guinness World Records and UAB Hospital announced on Wednesday that Curtis Means, who weighed only 14.8 ounces (420 grams) at birth, set a new record. Curtis was born 132 days prematurely on July 5, 2020. The twins did not survive. Curtis is now healthy and 16 months old.
The attending doctor Dr. Brian Sims said that statistics show that such a young child has almost no chance of survival, but Curtis has overcome the difficulties.
Sims said in a statement from the University of Alabama at Birmingham, which runs the hospital: “We usually recommend compassionate care in this extreme preterm birth.” “This allows parents to hold their children. Cherish their short time together.”
We can never know or understand the untapped power of life until life can flourish. The young Curtis had the will to live. Through medical treatment and mother’s love and nurturing, he maintained his life and continued to survive.
Instead, Curtis became stronger and stronger and was discharged after 275 days in the hospital. He needs the help of a therapist to start using his mouth and eating.
Michel Butler, a mother in rural Uto, Alabama, said in a statement: “It’s me who can finally bring Curtis home and let my older children and their younger brother surprise their younger brother. A moment to be remembered forever.”
Unlike California and New York, they are not as eager to kill children until the moment of birth (or even after birth), and condemn Texas Heartbeat Act As an anti-women and an attack on reproductive health, Alabama is doing everything it can to protect life in the womb and provide women seeking abortions with alternative options to destroy lives.
The Guttmacher Institute is a left-leaning organization that collects data on abortion in the United States and which states have the most restrictions and which states have the least restrictions. According to their data, As of January 1, 2021, Alabama has the following restrictions on abortion:
-
Patients must receive state-guided counseling, which includes information designed to prevent the patient from having an abortion, and then wait 48 hours before providing surgery.
-
According to the Affordable Care Act, the health plan provided by the State Health Exchange Center can only cover abortion in life-threatening, rape or incest situations.
-
The use of telemedicine to manage medical abortion is prohibited.
-
Before offering an abortion, the minor’s parents must agree.
-
Only in life-threatening, rape or incest situations can public funds be used for abortion.
-
The patient must undergo an ultrasound before a miscarriage; the provider must provide the patient with the option to view the image.
-
An abortion can be performed 20 weeks or more after fertilization (22 weeks after the last menstrual period) only if it is life-threatening or severely harms your health. The law is based on the assertion that the assertion is inconsistent with scientific evidence and has been rejected by the medical community that the fetus will feel pain during pregnancy.
-
The state requires abortion clinics to meet unnecessary and burdensome standards related to their physical factories, equipment, and staffing.
In essence, Alabama Created a culture and atmosphere premature baby Just like Curtis, it means survival and prosperity.
Of course, you also have advocates who oppose life. They may say that Curtis Means is not thriving. He is a consumer of resources. These resources can be allocated to a child who is more likely to contribute to society.
Although Curtis still needs a feeding tube and supplemental oxygen because he was too early, Sims said that considering the time of his birth, he is in good health.
“We don’t know what Curtis’s future will be, because no one is like him,” Sims said. “He has been writing his own story from the day he was born. This story will be read and studied by many people and is expected to help improve the care of premature babies around the world.”
The photos and videos of Curtis and his mother, Michel Butler, reflect a happy, thriving baby who is loved and cared for. As Dr. Sims said, we don’t know what the future holds for Curtis Means or what he might achieve. We do know that his strong will to survive not only inspires the mothers of premature babies, but also the medical staff who take care of them.
If children with Down syndrome were not arrogantly aborted, what kind of stories and research would be written?

Really, if medical technology can give a 21-week premature baby a chance of survival, the argument for unlimited abortion will become weaker and will soon become non-existent.Medical advances such as Artificial uterus with Intrauterine surgery Strengthen the support and care for life before birth. In the final analysis, you cannot fight to nurture life on the one hand and try to destroy it on the other.
