About Chet McDoniel

“My dad even tells that in the delivery room, I was placed in a corner of the room after having the customary post-birth suction done. I was left alone in that corner and for lack of a better way to put it, I was "given a chance to die." That was in 1980, but the fact remains that a doctor made the decision that my life may not be worth living... I obviously didn’t agree with that decision and even in the delivery room, I had a ghting spirit that wouldn’t give in. As a Pro Life Speaker, I try to make sure everyone knows the value of life!”

-Chet McDoniel, You Don't Need Arms
