Like what? It's not mentioned.
U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Weston, said Monday she is bringing Anabely Lopes, a Hallandale Beach woman who terminated “a very wanted” pregnancy when her fetus was diagnosed with trisomy 18, also called Edwards’ syndrome, last summer. Those who survive the pregnancy are still likely to die once born.
“We felt it was our duty to protect our daughter from the inevitable suffering if she were to make it to term,” Lopes said, in tears.
It was a baby she had wanted, having her previous pregnancy result in a miscarriage.
She said she was turned away from a pregnancy clinic in Tamarac because her test results took too long to come back, and she was now just one day past the legal limit for an abortion when she got the confirmation results.
Last year Florida’s governor signed a 15-week abortion ban into law with no exceptions. ***
On Monday, Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz comforts Anabely Lopes, a Hallandale Beach resident, who said she had to leave the state for an abortion. Lopes will be Wasserman Schultz’s guest at President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address to Congress on Tuesday.

Lopes said she had to leave Florida to Washington, D.C., for the procedure at 16 weeks and three days. She said she was so distraught she considered suicide. “It was very painful for me to decide to do this,” she cried.

Edwards’ syndrome (trisomy 18) - NHS
Apr 20, 2022Most babies with this type of Edward’s syndrome who are born alive will live for at least a year, and they may live to adulthood. Partial Edwards’ syndrome A very small number of babies with Edwards’ syndrome (about 1 in 100) have only a section of the extra chromosome 18 in their cells, rather than a whole extra chromosome 18.
This is a BS story the doctors refused to write the diagnosis letters confirming the abortion was necessary where thee caption to the law could be used.
Life is fatal.
Knowing the left, anything would qualify in their book to excuse an abortion.
Exactly-no mention of what the problem is. A large percentage can be repaired in utero so until the media divulges the whole truth I’m not buying into it.
A leftist for a mother.
Then, when she was 15 weeks pregnant, results from genetic testing confirmed what an earlier blood test had indicated: Her child had Trisomy 18, a genetic condition that affects how a child’s body develops and grow.
5 to 10 percent die within the first year. So it's not fatal for 90-95 percent, but most people will not know this.
“...her unborn child had a fatal abnormality...”
Like doctors are never WRONG! /s
Oh, we are ALL born with a fatal abnormality.
