Pro-life group welcomes court ruling to let U.S. doctor examine British baby

Supporters of the parents of Charlie Gard demonstrate outside England's high court in London July 13. Charlie's parents, Connie Yates and Chris Gard, petitioned the court to allow them to travel with their terminally ill child to the United States for medical treatment. The court denied their request but ruled that a U.S. doctor who specializes in the baby's condition can travel to England to examine the child.
