I missed the show, but WOW!! Great job advocating where you are. Perfect example of how one person can change things simply by being there. :-) Carol in ILMom to , 8 DS My problem is not how I look.

Here's some inside scoop--- Sears is on 's football team--my husband coaches him. They taped this show on a Friday and I saw Dr. Sears at practice that afternoon--- he was really worried about the way they would edit the show because the 'pre-show' plan that he was a part of 15 minutes before taping was going to focus on the gloom and doom, the 90% abortion rate, the medical complications etc. THANK GOD he was there, he completely turned it around!

He told them in those final minutes that they had it all wrong and were going in the complete wrong direction and were going to bring the wrath of the DS community down on them...and they listened and turned it into the positive show it became today!

---there was an introduction that they cut that was all negative, he was worried they were going to keep it (it had been written way in advance of the pre-show meeting) but they cut it. WHEW!

All in all I think it came off well! BUT too bad it didn't air before the Buddy Walks!
