Talk about a close call: this baby was almost born into poverty, but his mother killed him just before the cutoff for abortion in their state. With literally just a few days to spare, she ended his life, saving him from living a life that isn't always perfect.

Whew!

Can you imagine if this kid was forced to live his life poor? Poor means not having a lot of money, and sometimes having to go without things. It means a hard life: one of struggle and difficulty. It means sometimes you worry about making rent or buying groceries. It's really hard being poor.

It's a good thing his mom killed him to save him from all that!

Thanks, mom!
