With all the glowing news reports this week about the wonders of abortion, an antidote:
"Amy … you're our hero."

Amy Bockerstette is a Junior at Sandra Day O’Connor High School in Phoenix. Last year she qualified for the state tournament and this fall signed a letter of intent to play for Paradise Valley Community College.
Once in love with Amy, always in love with Amy…
Love it, EJ! Thanks!
This is beautiful! Thank you for ending the day on a positive note.
Beautiful!
Thank you, EJ.
God still pierces the darkness.
Saved par out of the bunker. Beautiful but the video got a little blurry at the end . . . at least on my screen.
Great video.
My daughter has a friend who she went to school with, and played basketball with. We’ll call her Alice. Alice would appear to the world as having Downs, but it’s something else, and I can’t remember the name. She’s not quite as functional as Amy. To the credit of the girls and coaches, she got a lot of playing time. I remember one game in particular where she was trying to dribble and she would lose control of it. On multiple occasions the other team would pick the ball up and give it back to her. Then she was fouled, and got “1 and 1”. She went to the line. Dribbled a couple of times, shot…and drained it. I’m telling you…everyone in that gym went crazy. Everyone. Then the ref gave her the ball for a second shot…she dribbled a couple of times…and drained it again. I thought the crowd went wild the first time, but the second time it was even louder.
It was an amazing scene to watch folks put the competition aside, and show respect to a person who “the world” might cast aside. To be sure, the Abortion At Any Cost crowd would tell us Alice and Amy’s lives are not worth living. They are dead wrong.
Nothing exposes the left more than their worshipping at the altar of infanticide.
Just tears here. Thanks, EJ
Sitting at the computer and my wife just asked if I’m having an allergy attack.
Thanks @ejhill. I saw this clip yesterday. Let’s hope it goes viral.
I have a dear friend with a son who has Down’s Syndrome.
I’ve often shared that maybe we’re the ones with the defective 21st chromosome.

Amy … take a bow. You are a true hero.
It has. Two million views on Twitter and another 60K on the PGA YouTube account.
Yeah, but if you move Iceland you won’t have to worry about that happening
Dear @vancerichards: I was just going to say “Iceland eat your heart out!” I always remember Fr. Groeschel saying that when he met developmentally disabled people he thought of Jesus becoming human and how, to Him, it must have been like being disabled. (I am probably paraphrasing this very poorly.) It is a great reminder of the fragility of our humanity and the breadth of the human condition. I assume if Iceland doesn’t want anyone with Down Syndrome they don’t want any geniuses either. Oh and bonus points to @ejhill for getting in a reference to Once in Love With Amy – I can hear Ray Bolger singing it now.
Made me cry happy tears.
It’s ironic and a bit tragic that she goes to Sandra Day O’Connor HS, as O’Connor was one of the key votes upholding Roe in the Casey decision and thereafter.
Here you go, @colleenb!
Somewhat off topic from the golfer, but she reminds me in appearance and apparent personality of the 12 year old niece of our new daughter-in-law. Said niece absolutely adores our son. And in my opinion, our son (who enjoys motorcycles, guns, and other “macho” things) has never looked more “manly” than when he was dancing with her at their wedding reception.
Am I glad you posted this @ejhill. I’ve been watching that tournament on TV. Really surprised they haven’t shown the clip.
Oh my! And I still can’t hit out of a bunker worth a damn. Go Amy!
Thank goodness she was born years ago, and not in New York . . .
They showed a partial clip yesterday, only showing the putt (at least that’s what I remember seeing).
I missed it. But thanks to EJ and Ricochet I saw the whole thing.
I clicked like, only because the “Those miserable f—s in Iceland are disgusting” button is not available.
Because you are too top heavy.
Thanks @nanda!
We might disagree about Trump, but you’re alright in my book on the important things. Thanks EJ.
