In the case of several babies in the womb, can one abort some to save the others?

I am really stumpped on the right answer to this situation a girl’s aunt went through and told me.

“My aunt had a bad situation…in her case she had to choose number of lives with number of deaths because she had triplets, but as she is a very petite lady she could only carry two to full term without killing herself and two of them. so she had to choose to abort one and save two and herself. if not, thered be only one baby and her dad.”

What should someone do in such a situation?

Hi,

She had another choice and it is the only right one:
She could have chosen to not abort any and trust put the matter in the Lord’s hands. He is never out-done in generosity. Why is it that we always think of Him last?

I know of a case in which the doctors removed a cyst the size of a fist which was next to a baby in the womb. Such surgery always causes a spontaneous miscarriage. But the family prayed and put it in God’s hands. Not only was the baby not expelled from the womb, he is now a priest, writing to you about it.
