When my wife was pregnant with our fifth child, she had many, many complications. They recommended a number of tests that would confirm the problem - and then would recommend abortion to “solve” the “problem”. We said NO to any tests, and FIRED the doctor. With bed rest and common sense we carried the baby to term. He was born a perfectly healthy 9 lb baby boy. That was 16 years ago. He is now a 6’-2” 240 lb starting center on his High school football team and a 4.0 GPA student.

Someone in this story was brain dead, just not the baby.

It is past time for physicians of conscience to found an international physicians organization, whose members swear an oath to never kill a patient, either through abortion, euthanasia, or administration of any drug that is poisonous enough to kill, that is not lifesaving therapy.

And that if they are coerced to do so, by a superior, hospital, government or other agency, that they will resign first, communicate this coercion to the organization, that will then blacklist those responsible from others in the organization, so that they will never fall under their power.

Finally, members of this organization will be prohibited from cooperating with or making business arrangements with physicians who kill.

“When in doubt - abort”!

Doctors are so afraid of lawsuits these days that they will make this recommendation rather than take the risk if anything is the slightest indication of anything. Get a second opinion for your baby.

These days, ask what are the percentages and get a second opinion - it is your saving grace.

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.

There seems to have been a spate of these types of stories out of the UK. I can only imagine it has something to do with their national healthcare system. Maybe this woman's "zip code" was over it's limit on live births and they needed to free up the hospital bed...?

And many abortions are done using chemical weapons.

My mother-in-law had the measles while she was pregnant with her middle baby, who would grow up to be my husband. Her doctor told her she should have an abortion. She refused, thank God. He and I just celebrated our 17th anniversary.
