Disabled Veteran Becomes Leading Activist Against Abortion, Euthanasia
Columbia, SC (LifeNews.com) --
South Carolina resident Wayne Cockfield says his wheelchair gives him an advantage when it comes to lobbying. That's because he thinks it's difficult for a legislator or a UN official to look him in the face and say he can't have a good quality of life because he is disabled. Cockfield, 58, lost both his legs in 1969 while on a river patrol during the Vietnam War. Just as he landed his rubber raft, a huge explosion blew him at least 20 feet into the air. "It was a miracle that I didn't die," he said. "I was literally even with the top of a tree. One second I was on the ground, next second I was looking at the top of a tree." Some 27 operations and decades later, Cockfield is now a lobbyist for the pro-life movement as he has served as a non-governmental organization representative to the United Nations for the National Right to Life Committee. He's worried that doctors are increasingly deciding for themselves what lives are worth value and should be treated. "You literally have a values test for your worth now," Cockfield told the Midland Daily News. "There is a mindset in this country now that, if you cannot function to a certain level, you're not human." He told the newspaper, "My goal in life is ... to do every single thing that is within my power to convince people that if we continue to kill the unwanted, then the future in this country is going to be hell, a living hell."
