Ohden delivered the keynote address, sharing her story about living as one who had been slated for death at the request of her own mother and father.And another thing: note how the medical personnel was reluctant to save Melissa's life after she was born. She was delivered alive; according to the law - that's when life (and personhood) starts. But the hospital personnel didn't care about Melissa's life after birth, just as they didn't care about her life before birth. For them, Melissa was neither a human nor a person - in spite of having been born and breathing. And they saw nothing wrong in saying that right in her face several years later.
“I couldn’t help but be so moved by all of you today,” she said, choking back tears. “To see 12,500 people marching for children just like me inspired me and made me feel so loved.”
Ohden is a victim of an attempted saline infusion abortion, which involves injecting a saline and salt solution into the amniotic fluid to scald the child to death within the mother’s womb. Doctors then induce labor to remove the child’s body.
In Ohden’s case, however, she was still alive after being delivered, so the medical staff left her aside to die. But then “by the grace of God,” she said, she began making small movements and grunts. In response the medical personnel stepped in to save her life.
Ohden revealed how she has faced discrimination from pro-abortion advocates who believe she should have died. She said that doctors and nurses have told her that they don’t understand why the medical professionals intervened to save her life. “You were a liability,” they said.
Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and you have done everything to stand. (Ephesians 6:13)

You Were A Liability. You Should Have Died
It's hard to believe, but pro-aborts actually have the audacity to say something like that to a young girl who miraculously survived an attempted abortion.

Oh my God.
Calling someone a "liability".
I've seen earthworms with more compassion.
