If there is a very high likelihood that your unborn child will inherit a life-threatening disease or condition, is that enough grounds for abortion? Perhaps yes, perhaps not. It certainly isn't an easy decision to make and I am not one to make judgments.

Imagine, however, a woman who has already decided to terminate her pregnancy and actually go and do the procedure only to find out weeks later that the fetus survived? Jodie Percival, decided to abort her 8-week Baby because she feared the baby would have serious congenital kidney disease like her two older children. At 19th week, though, she found out that the fetus survived, and when the baby was born, it wasn't as bad as she feared it would be. Read this one of a kind story here.
