Dr. William Lile, the “ProLife Doc,” revealed how advances in fetal medicine make the case for protecting the preborn child in a talk to the 50th annual Broward Right to Life Benefit Breakfast, Nov. 11, 2023. 

"I am here today to provide you with new tools that you can use to defend God's preborn," said Dr. Lile, a board-certified OB-GYN, as he inducted Benefit Breakfast attendees into what he called the "Broward Right to Life School of Medicine."

"You've all been accepted into medical school, so congratulations​!" joked Dr. Lile, who has also served as an instructor with both the University of Florida and Florida State Medical School OB/GYN residency programs.

Using animated illustrations, fetoscopy (video captured inside the womb), and operating room images, Dr. Lile showed how leading-edge healthcare is now treating the preborn as patients while still in the womb.

  • Using an animated video, Lile showed how doctors successfully removed a golf-ball-sized teratoma (tumor) on a baby's heart in utero.
  • Vascular brain surgery is now done to correct a blood vessel malformation that can be fatal for babies once born.
  • A new, experimental surgical therapy for babies with spina bifida, Lile said, uses a stem cell patch to not just treat, but cure these infants.

He added: "If we can treat babies on the inside of the womb and cure the 2,000 babies a year that are born with spina bifida, are we treating them as patients? Yes. Patients have rights and a patient is a person, no matter how small."
