Faithful spend Lent praying, fasting for unborn

Patti Gabb knows what it’s like to have someone give her a choice.
Many years ago when she was pregnant, her doctor asked she wanted to undergo testing to determine if there were any birth defects or other disabilities--giving her information on whether or not she wanted to terminate her pregnancy.
A member of St. Basil the Great Parish, Brecksville, Gabb said she told her doctor “absolutely not,” there was no way she would ever abort her child. She had suffered through one miscarriage before. As far as she was concerned, any baby--regardless of his or her abilities--was a gift from God.
