After trying for six years to have another baby and four laparoscopies to remove my endometriosis‚ in the summer of 2021 we found out we were finally expecting again. Three years prior I had had a terrible miscarriage and had been battling severe endometriosis and adenomyoisis for 18 years at that point. How perfect‚ a boy and a girl. At 21 weeks pregnant‚ we attended our scan to find out the gender. They let us know it was a girl and we were thrilled! However‚ the scan was taking longer than usual.  They brought in another tech to take more photos and then instructed us to move to the consult room. I started getting worked up while we waited and my husband tried to reassure me it would be okay. My mind was going a thousand miles a minute thinking about all of the things she could have and how scared I was. The radiologist walked in and had a piece of paper and a pen in her hand. She informed us that our daughter’s heart was in the wrong spot‚ she was missing a kidney‚ her long bones were not growing‚ and she had severe abnormalities with her hands and feet. She then stated in very direct terms‚ ‘You can terminate this pregnancy in the next three weeks if you are unable to handle this.’ I let out a scream I didn’t even know I was capable of. I fell to my knees and kept screaming. I immediately had sheets of tears streaming down my face. My husband continued to rub my back while he too wept. The radiologist let us know she made an appointment to do an amniocentesis and a 3D ultrasound in three days‚ handed Brett the appointment card‚ and left the room. My lip wouldn’t stop quivering from sobbing so much. Brett finally said‚ ‘Let’s get out of this room. I hate this room.’ We walked to our vehicle‚ got in‚ and continued to just weep. After a few minutes of us not saying anything to each other‚ I said‚ ‘She may never come home with us.’ Through choking down his own tears that were almost making him gasp for air‚ he said he was so sorry that we got our hopes up and we shouldn’t have been excited too soon until we were all in the clear. Rising Complications The next two and a half weeks were hell. Not only had I been at death’s door with nausea the entire pregnancy for nearly six months now‚ I found out she may not live. I had people in my life keep telling me the nausea will go away soon and in the end I’d get a baby! We attended dozens of appointments over the next two weeks. Endless blood work‚ extra scans‚ daily phone calls and texts with my OBGYN  about the quality of her life‚ radiologists‚ occupational therapists‚ and lastly a geneticist. They were dark times and truly some of lowest points of my entire life. I was exhausted and‚ on top of it all‚ I’d hardly seen my son between work and doctors appointments. I missed him immensely and wept continually about how unfair this all was. The meeting with the genetic specialists was eye opening. They looked into my family history and‚ between me‚ two of my sisters‚ and my mom‚ we have way more losses than live births statistically. The doctors there could not put the pieces together what our daughter had‚ but what they told us that the quality of her life would be poor. The comments that kept being thrown around were as follows: ‘She will scream every minute of her life.’ ‘She will never come home with you.’ ‘Her life will be like whack a mole. She will always be in pain‚ but you won’t know what she’s every crying about.’ ‘Her heart is the biggest problem as it may not be strong enough to live outside of you.’ ‘Her missing a kidney is a big problem.’ ‘When we see this much wrong on a scan‚ we can say in full confidence that there is usually way more wrong that we can’t see.’ ‘The choice is yours because we do not know what she has.’ The Decision Day and night‚ my husband and I cried. We felt like we had nothing left to give. Selfishly‚ we wanted her. To us‚ she was perfect even though there were so many complications with her health. It didn’t matter to us. But as parents you learn that it’s not about what’s best for you‚ it’s about what’s best for her and what she would want. We know that she wanted to be with our family and that she will always be ours‚ but it broke our hearts about having to send her back to Heaven. The only way we knew what to do was to make a decision and pray on it. The prayers we had in our bedroom on our knees will forever be some of the most moving‚ powerful‚ spiritual‚ and memorable prayers in our marriage. We prayed to God‚ ‘We have made a decision and we ask for your help. We don’t know what to do. If this is right‚ we will find strength in us to let her come home to you.’ Two days later‚ we agreed that neither she nor I needed to suffer for one more minute. The induction was scheduled for a few days later‚ and the evening came for me to take the medication to induce labour. I would be delivering her the next day. Imagine with worst stomach bug you’ve ever had in your entire life‚ but try not to vomit. Why? Because the pill cost $400 each. I had blurred vision and was so gravely ill that I told Brett I loved him many times in case I died. I was supposed to attend my work party the night before as I thought it would be better to have a distraction instead of sobbing all evening. The time came to leave and my health turned a corner. I swear it was angels who came to my aid because I needed a small pick-me-up. The Delivery Saturday Dec 4th‚ 2021. The morning came quickly and we were off to the hospital. I wept walking to my room. I saw the delivery table and it hit me that our baby would be laying on there dead in a few hours. I had taken my second $400 dollar pill and the nurse let me know I couldn’t vomit for at least two more hours. They got an epidural into me as I was already in full-blown labor. I gripped onto the bedside bars with all of my strength to keep that final dose in my system. It was a terrible mental game because I knew I had to keep the pill in me to deliver her‚ but I didn’t want to let her go. I wanted her and I didn’t want the induction to work. Two hours passed and the nurse gave me a bucket and I projectile vomited five times. Again‚ who helped me keep that pill in? Angels. I couldn’t have done it myself. After I felt like a bus had hit me 23 times keeping that pill down‚ the epidural did its job and I was able to go to sleep. Two hours later‚ I woke up and the nurse came to check on me. In my sleep‚ our daughter‚ Ruby-Jo‚ had arrived. The doctor came in to pick up her tiny‚ 1- pound‚ lifeless body and I went into complete shock. Courtesy of Whitney Quinton All I could think was‚ ‘What on Earth had I just done!? She was dead! We let her die‚ and I hated myself.’ I began shedding tears of immeasurable anger. Brett ran to my side with a very calm and loving demeanor. He grabbed my hand and with tears streaming down his face said‚ ‘Whits‚ it’s okay. You did it. She’s finally home and she’s perfect. She’s with our family in Heaven‚ and she’s not in pain anymore. I am so proud of you.’ Not a day has gone by that I don’t think about the words my husband said to me that day. He saved me then‚ and his words continue to save me daily when I fight demons with the Earth-shattering decision we had to make for her. Courtesy of Whitney Quinton The Aftermath The biggest miracle at the end of it all was finding out‚ when her autopsy came back‚ that her heart condition alone wouldn’t have allowed us to bring her home. They said she would’ve lived in an incubator until she passed away or‚ very likely‚ would’ve died at birth even if carried to full term. It was hard news to hear‚ but it was a relief knowing that we had made the best decision for her. I’m grateful for the Earthly and Heavenly angels that carried us through losing our sweet Ruby-Jo‚ and still carry us because the grief we endure not having her here is something most people would never be able to comprehend. When I look back on our journey with her‚ I recognize how many miracles and tender mercies there were. I realize how God was truly walking with me every single step of the way. She is sealed to our family and‚ someday in Heaven‚ we will all be reunited. I will embrace her and I know she will thank us for relieving her of all of her suffering. We will thank her for teaching us how to turn to God‚ to have more compassion‚ and be there for others during tragedies to lift them up.” Courtesy of Whitney Quinton This story was submitted to Love What Matters by Whitney Quinton.

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer signed Democrat-proposed energy bills Tuesday‚ giving the state some of the most rigid energy mandates in the nation. The Democrats’ green energy plan — a package of three bills passed along party lines — requires utility providers to transition to completely carbon-free energy generation by the end of the next decade‚ the Associated Press reported. The mandate‚ which is even more fast-tracked than the green energy bill passed in California‚ will force utility companies to generate half of their energy through renewable sources by 2030‚ 60% by 2035‚ and 100% by 2040. “With passage of these game-changing bills‚ Michigan will become a national leader on clean energy‚” Whitmer said in a statement earlier this month. “These bills will help us make more clean‚ reliable energy right here in Michigan‚ creating tens of thousands of good-paying jobs‚ and lowering utility costs for every Michigander by an average of $145 a year.” Still‚ some far-Left environmental activists were not completely happy with the legislation‚ criticizing the mandate for allowing utility providers to use carbon capture technology and saying that it fails to “adequately reduce greenhouse gas emissions while bringing more pollution to Black‚ Brown‚ Indigenous and poor communities.” Republicans in the state House and Senate on the other hand said the mandate would effectively ban natural gas and take control of hundreds of thousands of acres of land for renewable energy. Michigan Senate Minority Leader Aric Nesbitt told The Daily Wire in a phone interview that Michigan’s power outage problem‚ which is already double the national rate‚ would only get worse thanks to the Democrats’ bill. “This does nothing to correct the issues on the distribution system. All this does is increases the likelihood of power outages and decreases reliability‚” said Nesbitt. Nesbitt added that the law will also “industrialize” Michigan farmland‚ meaning that the law’s land requirement for renewable energy will “preempt” residents from having any say in how local land is used. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “Currently‚ 50‚000 acres are used for renewable energy. This will mandate that over 350‚000 new acres of land will have to be pushed into renewable energy‚” he said. An analysis from the Mackinac Center for Public Policy also found that the new green energy mandate will cost residents an extra $2‚746 a year while giving them less reliable electricity. Republican House Floor Leader Bryan Posthumus told The Daily Wire‚ “Without a doubt‚ these mandates will lead to higher costs and lower reliability.” “In government‚ you literally get what you pay for‚” Posthumus added. “By mandating wind and solar‚ only the governor has taken many other necessary and useful options off the table to score points with the coastal elites. Michigan could have been the national leader in how to do renewable the right way. Instead‚ Whitmer chose the strong-arm approach with an eye on a 2028 presidential run. It really is truly disappointing.” Many residents of Marquette Township‚ Michigan‚ which is in the state’s Upper Peninsula‚ voiced frustration with their Democratic Representative Jenn Hill after she joined Democrats in passing the energy mandate. After a meeting last week‚ Forsyth Township Supervisor Joe Boogren said questions were not being answered on the issue‚ TV6 reported. “We can read. We’re not as dumb as you think we are or make us out to be‚ and we wanted to talk to you as elected officials to elected official and ask you questions that mean something‚ not go for this‚” Boogren said.

An agency in the United Nations designed to lead international efforts to defeat hunger is reportedly expected to call on the West — including the United States — to reduce meat consumption to combat so-called climate change. The UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) announced it plans to introduce a first-of-its-kind global food recommendation document at the Climate Change Conference COP28 — a two-week summit beginning on November 30 at the Expo City Dubai‚ in the United Arab Emirates. According to Bloomberg‚ the plan will call upon the world’s most developed nations to curb their excessive appetite for meat to reduce greenhouse emissions‚ issue guidelines for farmers to adapt to “erratic weather‚” and cut back emissions from food waste‚ post-harvest loss‚ or fertilizer use. “The failure of leading meat and dairy companies to reduce emissions underlines the urgent need for more policy focus on the food and agriculture sector‚” Jeremy Coller‚ the chair and founder of the FAIRR Initiative‚ an investor network that works with financial institutions to promote climate-friendly agriculture worldwide‚ said in a recent statement reported by Fox News. Coller said food system emissions represent an estimated third of greenhouse gas emissions and 40% of methane‚ which he asserted deserve “a place at the top of the table” with other climate concerns‚ including energy and transport. “Investors hope the first-ever publication of a food and agriculture road map at COP28 this month will catalyze the transition to 1.5 degrees and a more sustainable food system‚” he added. Although U.S. representatives for the intergovernmental organization have not pledged to join the delegation‚ the UN agency’s recommendations are not binding. According to a March 2021 study published in the Nature Food Journal‚ about 18 billion tons of carbon dioxide per year — approximately a third of total worldwide emissions — make up the global food system. Fox News reported that the UN’s FAO data suggests that livestock accounts for approximately 14.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP However‚ according to the Daily Mail — the U.S. agriculture industry only accounts for 1.4% of global emissions and 10% of total greenhouse gas emissions. UN officials have reportedly advocated for a plant-based diet to reduce an individual’s annual carbon footprint by up to 2.1 tons‚ but researchers found that a vegetarian diet or switching to lab-grown meat could prove ineffective in improving global emissions. The University of California‚ Davis‚ published a study reported by the Daily Mail earlier this year that indicated lab-grown or “cultured” meat produced by cultivating animal cells is up to 25 times worse for the climate than natural beef. “Currently‚ animal cell-based meat products are being produced at a small scale and at an economic loss‚ however companies are intending to industrialize and scale-up production‚” the researchers wrote. “Results indicate that the environmental impact of near-term animal cell-based meat production is likely to be orders of magnitude higher than median beef production if a highly refined growth medium is utilized.” House Agriculture Committee Chairman Glenn Thompson (R-PA) told Fox News Digital in a statement that regulating American farmers and ranchers out of business in the U.S would only export production overseas under hostile foreign governments‚ worsen emissions profiles‚ and harm food security and affordability rather than effectively addressing global climate change. “Simply put‚ the world needs American farmers and ranchers more than the UN‚” Thompson said‚ adding that U.S. farmers and ranchers are “climate heroes” for reducing emissions while providing Americans with abundant and affordable food‚ fiber‚ and fuel. According to the American Farm Bureau Federation‚ farmers and ranchers are getting almost three times more out of their production than what they put into it compared to 70 years ago. The organization noted that livestock emissions‚ including pork‚ milk‚ and beef production‚ continue to decrease.
