Trisomy 18, also known as Edwards Syndrome, is a rare but serious condition that can affect a baby's survival. Most babies with Trisomy 18 die before or shortly after birth, and only 50% of babies who are carried to term will be born alive. Of those born alive, the median survival time is between 2.5 and 14.5 days, and only 5–10% of children survive past their first year. These survivors often have severe intellectual disabilities and may require extensive support for daily living.

This is from a source believed reliable.

This kind of story is hard to use to convince people to become Right to Life people.

It essentially takes people to believe in a principle in spite of the great burdens and sorrows it will bring them.

In other words, people who believe in the Almighty and whose faith is strong enough to withstand stress like this.

One may not be able to 'convert' pro-choice persons to a pro-life point of view UNLESS he converts them to faith in God.

And that is a tough order, but not impossible.

So it's the "more you know" excuse for these materialistic unbelievers.

Society in general should promote chance rather than death because anyone or any government can make excuses for killing anyone with the same POV, in this case, Trisomy 18. Useless eater perhaps, is a popular one you know or other perverted reasons for murdering the innocent. Either way, unless the life of the mother is imperiled, the only action is to bring life into the world. If you are too scared, don't do actions that causes pregnancy, life is precious for anyone, regardless on how long you live.

99% of those calling themselves “pro-choice” are pro abortion. They are NOT in favor of having a choice.

It is not the same thing. They worship abortion as if it were a sacrament. They believe abortion is no different than birth control. That’s their “choice”. Completing an unplanned pregnancy is not included in their idea of “choice”.

If they believed in choice they would not go nuts trying to hide the medical statistics on the risks of abortion, nor what it does to a woman’s fertility. If they believed in free choice they would welcome giving women an accurate understanding of the potential costs of their choices.
