A mother in England is filing suit against a hospital where doctors told her she should have an abortion of her supposedly “brain dead” unborn baby. Sarah Hagan is now suing City Hospitals Sunderland after giving birth to a healthy child.
Hagan says that, after a 24-week ultrasound scan of her unborn baby, doctors told her that her son Aaron was “brain dead,” had just one eye and no chance of survival.
The mother of two says physicians adviser her to take an abortion drug, even though the mifepristone abortion pill is only authorized to be used to destroy the life of an unborn baby much earlier in pregnancy.
When the abortion drug didn’t work, another doctor informed Hagan her baby needed to be delivered immediately and she gave birth to Aaron, who was born at 1lb 7oz with both eyes and healthy other than the fact that he was born prematurely — which has left him with chronic lung problems he wouldn’t have had otherwise. Now Aaron is 15 months old and Hagan is taking legal action.
The London Daily Mail newspaper has more:
Now, the mother of two, along with partner Darren Perry, 25, has begun legal proceedings against City Hospitals Sunderland, after claiming she was told her baby’s brain had not formed properly, her only option was a termination and that her child could be born with one eye.
As a result of being born so early, Ms Hagan says Aaron, now 15-months-old, has suffered a catalogue of health problems including chronic lung issues and a cyst on the brain.
She said: ‘If I had been allowed to go longer into the pregnancy, I am sure he wouldn’t have had any of these problems.
“Now, despite being told he was brain dead, Aaron’s brain is on par with any other baby of his age.
‘Despite what they said, he was born breathing and kicking. When I look at him now, I can’t believe what almost happened because someone made a presumption from a scan.
‘I just want other mothers to know my story so that nothing like this happens again.’
Ping!
She will soon learn that in England and other Orwellian states that the government doctors will be vindicated and you cannot sue them if you did not follow their advice.
Something like that.
docs doing their best to reduce white english births and up the muslim and minority birth rates. it’s the new britain you know.
She did follow their advice and the abortion drug didn’t work.
When I was about 4 months PG with my son, my Dr. told me that the fetus was dead and I needed to abort. He deducted this just by measuring and listening for a heartbeat. I told him if my baby was dead, I would likely naturally have a miscarriage, so no to the abortion.
He turned 35 last month and has 2 beautiful children.
Wow just wow. Think of the horrendous cases where the mothers followed bad advice. Dear God forgive us for this holocaust of abortion.
But get those damn Syrians for killing who???How many??While we kill millions here at home.
God bless you, Rusty! .... your ‘unaborted’ son and your absolutely gorgeous grandchildren.
After a 2 1/2 hour ultrasound, we were told to abort our son because of a heart deformity. We sought a second opinion from a neonatal heart specialist we had dealt with the year prior. She said there was nothing wrong. My son and his twin sister just started their freshman year in college, both with no health issues. I am convinced the Dr. was just trying to pad his bank account.
My wife is an ultrasound technologist and she can’t believe they would call a child brain dead in utero. She has never heard of any hospital in the US ever declaring brain death before delivery. Brain doppler isn’t considered reliable for that sort decision.
And Mr. Stitch strolls through the corridors of medicine.....

“God bless you, Rusty! .... your ‘unaborted’ son and your absolutely gorgeous grandchildren.”
Not being critical (and dittos to Rusty), but that’s not good enough. With a paradigm shift in healthcare coming, I believe it’s LONG overdue for an ‘Angie’s List’ for Doctors and other health ‘professionals’.
You are seeing the future of CommieCare. “When in doubt - abort”!
They prayed about it -
The baby was born - went on to graduate from college summa cum laude -
Quite an accomplishment for a girl with ‘no brain”, eh wot?
Wow. My screen just got blurry. Thanks for the wonderful story!
I wouldn’t put it past the Brit libs to send a guy over with a club, bop the boy on the head, and then say...”see...we told you he was brain dead!” /s
physicians adviser her to take an abortion drug,
Does she have Obamacare???
happened to me. dr told me to abort since i had cmv antibodies in my blood. He is now 22.
