During surgery, the little fingers of Samuel, fully developed grab hold of the finger of the surgeon. Samuel was born 15 months later, normal. When Julie was saw the picture, she wept for days. She said, "The photo reminds us my pregnancy isn 't about disability or illness, it 's about a little person." That 's what it 's always been about. That 's what the liberal elite have tried to get us to forget. May this image jog our memories so that we will never forget.”
