Chris Spielman talks to Ohio State University students about abortion

Spielman tackles issue of abortion at pro-life event - Campus - javascript:%20idleCursor(); - The Lantern - Ohio State University: Stefanie Spielman was on a medication during one of her earlier battles with cancer when the doctor informed her that she was pregnant with her fourth child. She was told no child had ever lived after birth when the mother was on this particular medication, and that she could either go off the medication and try to have the child, or have an abortion.

After prayer and discussion with his family, Spielman said he placed the decision in God‘s hands, though his initial reaction was to protect his wife. With the family's faith, Stefanie went through with the pregnancy.

'I'm happy and humbled to say that baby girl is playing softball tonight as a beautiful, bouncing 8-year-old,' Spielman said. 'The moral of the story is this: I believe we change people's hearts, minds and souls not through hatred or intimidation. Like you, I hate the act of abortion, but we have no right to hate a single person.'
