After Dobbins’ fourth touchdown of the day, Johnson shared that the football star was born to an 18-year-old mother who had considered abortion before choosing life for her son.
“J.K. Dobbins’ mom, Mya, became pregnant when she was 18 years old,” Johnson said. “She went to the doctor because she was thinking about aborting the baby, but changed her mind.”
“That baby turned out to be that young man, J.K. Dobbins, who she calls her ‘miracle baby.’”
