I really don’t get the impression from reading the article that she was in any imminent danger healthwise herself from the pregnancy. It sounds as if the abortion was more risky than progressing with the pregnancy and having more frequent monitoring.
There was always the chance the doctors were wrong about how severe the baby’s problems were. She will never know.
A friend of the family’s baby died two months before the due date. She had to carry the baby until natural labor and give birth because her doctor determined taking it or inducing labor early was a health risk to her.
She went on to get pregnant again, have a healthy baby, and then get pregnant six weeks after giving birth.
I have heard many stories of that very thing being the case.
There's no excuse for murdering a baby.
If the baby dies at birth, it dies.
But it's better than ensuring it by murdering it.
