He seems perky and cute as a button. Wonder what corrective cosmetic surgery might by in order, given the syndromes they mention.

Docs in the US did the same thing to my sister-in-law years ago; telling her that their child would be born with Downs Syndrome. My nephew turned out fine. They should have sued for emotional distress.

Kind of makes you wonder how many children are disposed of in this way.Actually, I’m surprized the Telegraph is even reporting it.

Good for Mrs. Purdy and the boy. God bless ‘em!

This has happened at least a couple of times with my grandchildren. Maybe more, because it’s the kind of unpleasant business my daughters or daughters in law might not want to talk about.

Most recently, one of my daughters became pregnant. It’s her first child, and kind of a miracle baby because her husband had had chemotherapy as well as an operation for brain cancer, and after that they hadn’t expected to have any children.

The doctor kept urging her to abort, and she finally switched to a different doctor and hospital. No one knows what will happen when the baby is born, of course, but everything looks normal and the baby deserves a chance. Thank God my daughter was determined to have the child and is already talking about having another.

These parents ignored their betters and opted to bring this “imperfect” child into the world. Obviously must be too brainwashed to realize that they are being punished with this baby./sarc

Every year they should take the boy back to the Doc and remind him, “Hey doc, here’s that little boy you wanted to kill.”

Yesterday we celebrated the 1st birthday of our physically perfect little grandson. At the time, the doctors told my 7 1/2 month pregnant daughter that this little boy would be “more medical trouble than he was worth” and she needed to “just get rid of him now.”

Less than a year after our first baby died from hypoplastic left heart syndrome, my wife became pregnant with twins. Because of history, she was classified as a high risk pregnancy and referred to a specialist. The specialist performed a higher resolution ultrasound (2+ hours). After which, he informed us that one of the babies had a heart defect and would need to be aborted (which presented inherent risk to the 'healthy' baby). In his office I remember things moving extremely fast and feeling like all our decisions were being made for us, so I convinced my wife to leave the specialists office leaving all our options open.

We sought a second opinion from the pediatric heart specialist whom we had dealt with a year earlier with our first son. After a twenty minute ultrasound, she told us to go back to my wife's original obgyn and assured us that all was fine (details omitted for brevity). A few months later we were blessed with two completely healthy babies.

Today they are thirteen years old, completely healthy and trying my patience every chance they get.

My wife had many problems with one of our children. Lots of bleeding, abnormal heart rates of the feotus, premature delivery - generally a lot of stress on the baby throughout the entire pregnancy.

A doctor suggested abortion, noting that the child could have brain damage, etc...

We were blessed with a beautiful girl - smart as a whip, loves us dearly, and is a real pistol and fighter (compared to her siblings) We do believe God gave her strength to fight in the womb, and at some level she knows we would never give up on her.

When my wife was pregnant with my daughter the doctor identified choroid plexus cysts during the ultra sound and said that there would be a good chance that the baby would have a syndrome similar to Downs called Edwards Syndrome. We went in for the more sophisticated ultra sound and a possible heart problem was also discovered.

The technician who did our second ultra sound said that another woman had the cysts on two pregnancies and each time aborted to avoid having a child with Edwards Syndrome. The technician went on to say that when the same lady had a third pregnancy and cysts were discovered again she decided to go ahead and have the baby and the baby was fine.

I should also point out the the ultra sound technician said our daughter would have a long narrow face. Our daughter’s face is short and round and she is perfect in every way.

Tim Tebow, QB of the Florida Gators, was born under similar circumstances. Mrs. Tebow, who is now a Christian missionary, was warned by 3 doctors to abort Tim due to a genetic abnormality they insisted would prove fatal.

These stories out of the UK are getting more and more common... the socialists running the medical system go so far to try to prevent a drain on the financial state of the system by pushing abortion if there is ANY suspicion that the baby won’t be born completely healthy and without expensive defects.

Sick....

What an absolute cutie-pie!! I’m so glad these folks had the strength to resist the pressure of the medical folks, who should seriously re-think the accuracy of their tests.

Having read many of the posts here of others having been told similar things and aborting the doctor’s wishes, do they get kickbacks from the abortionists? or do they do the abortion? I was wondering if it would be wise to get these people together and form a coalition for life and warn others to save their baby’s life! These posts are too much of a pattern.
