Clinic Tells Patients: "Wrong" Not to Abort Disabled Child
Excited expectant parents are sometimes given the life-altering news that their little bundle of joy has a health condition that is considered incompatible with life. Many times, the doctors offer termination as a solution and unfortunately, these once thrilled parents choose that option out of fear.
In fact, when parents are not provided with up-to-date information and resources than 80% of their pregnancies end in abortion. Suddenly, these wanted babies have become unmanageable burdens. However, when parents are educated about the support, resources, and opportunities available for them and their baby, 80% of them choose life.
Still, many abortion clinics will have parents believe that aborting their baby is the compassionate choice. In fact, the Orlando Women's Center believes that, 'to diagnose fetal abnormalities and not be able to terminate the pregnancy is wrong." Because of this, they are happy to perform late abortions on babies who have been diagnosed with any fetal anomaly in order to prevent "pain and suffering to the baby and family" and to allow the family to begin the healing process. In fact, after killing the baby and inducing labor, the clinic encourages parents to hold the baby and bring home his or her footprints and hand-prints. Ref. Source 2
