If you’ve paid any attention this week to the Texas abortion controversy, you probably know about Kate Cox. She’s a pregnant woman who got some very bad news; namely that her unborn daughter suffers from a debilitating condition known as Trisomy 18. Cox petitioned the state of Texas for permission to have an abortion under its medical exceptions rule, but was denied.

This has turned the pro-abortion Left in Texas into a rabid mob, even though the court ruling they’re so torqued up about explicitly noted that nothing stops Kate Cox from having an abortion in another state. The fact is that despite all of the recent restrictions placed on abortion in most red states, abortions actually increased last year. In other words, the Kate Cox case is quite analogous to the Masterpiece Bakery case and others; this is a frontal assault on the Texas abortion law and the moral philosophy behind it just as the gay marriage advocates demanding Christians be forced to service them are.

Conservative activist Steve Baer made a very inconvenient offer to Kate Cox last night which will get zero attention in the legacy corporate media despite the fact it would almost certainly solve the problem.

Chicago Father of Ten offers to Adopt Disabled Dallas Baby Girl Targeted for Abortion

(Dallas, TX) A Chicago father of 10 has offered to adopt a disabled baby girl of Dallas targeted for abortion,

On Monday, the Texas Supreme Court ruled in favor of protecting the unborn baby, about 21 weeks gestational age and possibly viable outside the womb, from being killed in the State of Texas. 

The baby’s mother, Kate Cox, has reportedly fled Texas  to obtain an abortion elsewhere, but it is unclear whether the little girl remains alive.

Steven Baer, former president of the United Republican Fund of Illinois and a Dallas TV investor (in VOZ Media),  said today that he and his loved ones would welcome the disabled daughter of Ms. Cox, diagnosed with Trisomy 18, if the 31-year-old mother would be willing to spare the child’s life and instead offer her up for adoption. 

Monday, the state’s highest court ruled that Ms. Cox’s desired pregnancy termination could not lawfully occur in Texas without a medical finding that “in the exercise of reasonable medical judgment, the pregnant female . . . has a life-threatening physical condition aggravated by, caused by, or arising from a pregnancy that places the female at risk of death or poses a serious risk of substantial impairment of a major bodily function unless the abortion is performed.”

Mr. Baer’s wife of 40 years, Donna Conaton Baer, co-founded Chicago’s Caris Pregnancy Centers and is the author of several Christian books, including The Bible’s Feasts, The Classical Sunday School Curriculum and Strong Happy Family: Unexpected Advice from an Ivy League Mom of Ten.

Trisomy 18 is often fatal. However, former senator and presidential candidate Rick Santorum has a daughter who suffers from Trisomy 18, and she’s 15 years old and doing reasonably well.

The America we need would look at Baer’s offer as a solution to Kate Cox’s problem. She understandably doesn’t want to try to raise a child with what could be a fatal disease, and thanks to the Baers she doesn’t have to.

But in the America we have, Kate Cox isn’t going to listen to Steve Baer’s offer. The pro-abortion crowd would rather have Kate Cox as a poster child than see her dilemma solved. And the legacy media would rather have the story about how Texas’ abortion law leads to cruel consequences than the story of how people can work together to create the best possible outcome for each other.

We hope we’re wrong, and we hope that ultimately a solution can be found to give that little girl a life with some joy and experience despite her medical problems. But we doubt that very much, and it’s sobering.
