Summary

While Dr. Robert Jackson, Jr., was a second-year medical resident, he was asked to administer a drug to induce premature labor on a woman who was carrying a special needs baby in order to abort the pregnancy. He refused, but another doctor did so, prompting the woman to deliver a 22-week-old infant. On today's edition of Family Talk, Dr. Jackson recounts that the patient's little baby, born alive, was wrapped in a cold, wet towel, and abandoned to die in a metal basin. Since that horrific moment, Dr. Jackson has been a passionate and staunch defender of pre-born children.
