Thanks to some brave souls who believe every life has value, 13-month-old Baby Joseph has been moved from Canada, where the government death panel deemed him unworthy of life, to a Catholic hospital in St. Louis, where he will receive the care he needs for his terminal illness. Among the heroes in this story is a Chapel Hill doctor. (emphasis is mine)
Father Pavone said Baby Joseph’s transfer was accomplished through the efforts of a number of people, including his parents; family spokesman Sam Sansalone; family attorney Claudio Martini; Bobby Schindler of the Terri Schiavo Life & Hope Network, St. Petersburg, Fla.; Dr. Martin McCaffrey, a neonatologist at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, Medical School; the Rev. Pat Mahoney, director of the Christian Defense Coalition in Washington, D.C., and attorney CeCe Heil from the American Center for Law and Justice, also in D.C. Father Frank also thanked the many other Canadian pro-life groups and individuals who have been consistent and heroic in their advocacy for Baby Joseph and for all the vulnerable.
