Why would anyone think it a good idea to murder a viable full term child because he appears to have a heart defect?

They predicted doom and gloom for my son. We resisted completely any suggestion to terminate and prepared ourselves for the worst.

He is perfect.

Like you, I can't understand how one could give up on their children so easily. Even if they were cash-strapped, they could put it up for adoption. Couldn't they give it a chance...just a chance..at living before ending it's life so cruelly?

I'm reserving my sympathies for the children.

I’m guessing that there is some information missing here.

I carried twins, and their is a condition called twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome.

Sometimes if they don’t abort one, you will lose both.

I prayed that didn’t happen to me because I would hate to make that kind of decision.
