Legacy MattersSome people fight to be born and some fight to wake up, both to ponder if you are responsible for making life and death decisions for another person.
This baby survived three abortions, was born alive at 24 weeks in a case documented in the Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology.
She claimed she had been told that an ultrasound scan had confirmed the child was dead - but shortly afterwards she went into labour.
The 24-year-old mum - who has not been named - changed her mind about wanting to keep the baby after she felt him move on her way home.
Her son is now two years old and is the first long-term abortion survivor to have been born so prematurely.
This woman awoke from a 20 year coma.
"Hi mum," she said to her mother.
The words were a shock and a joy for Scantlin's parents.
"There's just no words," mother Betsy Scantlin told a CBS television news show. "I've just laughed ever since because it's just so amazing."
And this woman emerged from a six week coma to be told that she had been stricken with meningitis and cancer ----and that she had given birth to a baby girl!
