Hard to read without tears in your eyes…

Born in Defiance
Mary writes that in 1994 she fell pregnant, and was so sick that she had an ultrasound at 10 weeks to find out what was wrong.

It was only then she learned she was carrying twins. But the second baby was very small.

"This meant the baby was likely to have gross abnormalities because although it’s normal for twins to differ in size late in pregnancy and after birth, in early pregnancy they should be exactly the same size to be normal.

"The doctor immediately recommended that I should `terminate that fetus’.

Yep, I bawled even before I got half way through it and was really crying and sniffling in the end. Thanks for sharing!
 
I think i might make this part of my signature as it is a perfect example of what mother Theresa philosophy was. All should die with love…

*“Benedict spent his whole life in the arms of people who loved him; who could ask for a better life?” *

It really is about love, isn’t it? Not perfection. Love.
 
I think if I encountered a doctor who said something like this I would, at the very least, immediately find another doctor (I’d give the doctor what-for too). Luckily, I had a wonderful, Catholic midwife - she even convinced me to use NFP, though I wasn’t Catholic at the time, by telling me about the abortifacient effects of the pill and IUD and how effective the newer methods were - I was happy to be able to avoid the drawbacks every type of ABC has. As for OB’s who pressure women into abortion - ugh - I’d have to restrain myself from punching him in the nose. :mad: I still get furious when I think of the “friend” who advised me to abort my oldest child. (My daughter will be six next month).
 
Fourteen years ago, I gave birth to healthy twin boys.

Throughout the pregnancy, one of my boys was considerably larger than the other. The doctor explained that this was not unusual and probably meant that they were conceived a couple of weeks apart.

Today, my boys are tall and healthy. They are good athletes, talented musicians (definitely didn’t inherit this one from me) and GT students. I am so glad the mother in the article resisted her “doctor’s” pressure.
