Parents of Conjoined Twins Say NO to Abortion

Lisa and Mike Chamberlain found out they're expecting conjoined twins. In this case the unborn babies share a torso, but have two heads. Of course their doctors counseled them to abort. But Lisa and Mike gave them a resounding no. Mike said they've waited seven years to have a baby and they weren't going to throw it away now. Lisa said the children are a "gift from God" and she feels "blessed" to have them. Many people are familiar with Abigail and Brittany Hensel who were born similarly conjoined, and have been featured on TV shows. They drive, are active in school activities and sports and do everything average teenagers do. Like Abigail and Brittany, God has a specific plan for Lisa and Mike's unborn girls. Their joy and ours is to watch it unfold.
