Woman Who Aborted Her Down Syndrome Baby: “Psychological Pain Is Enormous”

From a woman who aborted her down syndrome baby:

20 weeks

“The psychological pain is enormous. Deciding to end the life of a fetus you’ve wanted and carried for most of five months is no easy matter. The number of relatively late second trimester abortions performed for genetic reasons is very small. It seems an almost inconsequential number, unless you happen to be one of them.”

Tricia Andryszewski Abortion: Rights, Options, and Choices (Brookfield, Connecticut: The Millbrook Press, 1996) 53-54

Research shows that 99% of adults with down syndrome are happy with their lives.

Abortion Lies

Pro-Choice writer Margaret Carlson, on the many lies told by pro-choicers about the partial-birth abortion ban:

“…we all lie, to ourselves and one another, in hearings and in print, at dinner and on Nightline, lest we give one inch in a war over abortion that rages on.”

Disabled Children Considered “Medical Errors”

Dr. Marie Peeters-Ney, director for medical research of the Michael Fund:

“The birth of a child with a chromosomal anomaly is now widely considered as a medical error and in certain countries lawsuits are filed against doctors because they failed to diagnose the ‘condition’ in utero. In an insidious manner, mentalities are changing and people now regard persons with a handicap as someone who should not be there.”

down syndrome is a chromosomal abnormality which can be detected with amniocentesis and some estimates say up to 92% of all down syndrome babies are aborted.

Abortion Pill Like “Giving Birth”

“It was quite a big thing, like giving birth, so I wish that I had been there for her. It was a bloody mess. Wendy went through contractions, just like a pregnancy. We didn’t think it would be quite like that.”

Unborn Babies React to Music

“I have put Mozart in a tape player and held it against a womb at, say, seven months, and the baby moved a little, but when I put Van Halen on, the baby was jumping all over the place.”

Precious Feet Pin

10 week feet

“Recently one of our friends gave a pair of Precious Feet to a pregnant, unmarried girl she knew…An abortion was being planned and the girl was receiving pressure to carry out those plans.

After seeing the feet she couldn’t believe them. The usual, ‘This can’t be true,’ and, ‘I don’t believe it,’ led to further research and examination of just what would be happening if the abortion were carried out. In other words – a life was saved!”

The Precious feet pins are little lapel pins of baby’s feet at 10 weeks, life size, similar to those in the picture

Abortion Book: Keeping Abortion Secret May Be a Positive Experience

In a book that is meant to help women considering abortion, the author encourages teens not to tell their parents:

“However sad or angry you feel right now, keep in mind and not involving a parent is often a sign of maturity – that you are able to make and take responsibility for your own decisions. Keeping the pregnancy and abortion a secret may even turn out to be a positive experience. For many young women, it may be one of the first times they make an important or life-changing decision on their own, and they may feel more confident and better about themselves as a result.”

K Kaufmann. The Abortion Resource Handbook (New York: Simon & Schuster, 1997)
