These stories are beautiful and inspirational but i remember reading on the previous abortion threa. The woman who posted said she knew her baby was going to be really sick. He or she only lived a few hours and was in extreme pain the whole time. She said she wished she had had an abortion so the baby wouldn't have gone through all that pain. Still, i think this is your sisters decision. Hopefully she will have a healthy miracle, but tell her to listen to her doctor and pray to God for an answer.

Are you kidding me? Dont you know that having a abortion is extremely painful for the baby (No matter how far along you are) Its a specially painful when they cut there heads off. And when you have an abortion farther along do you have any clue what they do on www.abortionno.com says they induce you and put you in labor and have you start to deliver normally and they cut the head off before they are born. No matter how far along or how the abortion is done they cut the babies head OFF! And that is so painful! I rather God decide for me!

herotrue that person was me and that is not at all what i said. i said i did not know how i felt, or whether i had made the right choice. but if you read my previous comment in this thread, you will see that i have come to terms with what has happened, and im sure that i did the right thing by giving him a chance to live, even tho he did not make it.

Hi my name is Kayla,
I have this friend named Ida, 4 years ago while pregnant with her 3rd child she had a routine ultrasound a 28wks.
The doctors told her that she should terminate her pregnancy ASAP because her baby had severe deformities and would be born an invalid and would be disfigured with a cleft palate and a cleft lip.
My friend didn't have an abortion because no matter what those doctors said her and her husband already loved that baby.
4 years on their son Marino is a healthy 4 year old who can walk and talk like any other child his age, he has no neurological problems like the doctors predicted he would, and the only sign of a cleft lip or palate in sight is a slightly flatter nose that usual.

Ultimately it is up to your sister and her husband but this is a prime example of how wrong doctors can be.

And if the baby does die shortly after birth take it as a sign from God that their child was too pure and innocent for this world, and God took him early to stop the world tainting him/her.

Good luck and all the best.

A doctor cant always determine if the baby will have health problems for the rest of its life....I think your sister is absolutely crazy if she terminates this right now....Even if the baby passes away shortly after birth at least she was able to have meet her baby and bond for a small time...It is very crucial for the healing process of any child loss to have been able to see your baby healthy or not..Could you really have the thought on your heart of aborting your child and always wondering if they could have been healthy and normal??? I know I couldnt, you wont know until the child is born and sick or not thats their baby I personally cant even believe someone would have to second guess that option....My Aunt had the same situation except they knew she would die, if she even made it through child birth she had a defect in one of her genes that made her skull under developed and was only born with half a skull and breathing problems, we knew that she would die but her being born into our family and being able to see and hold her for a very short time even though it was tough and very heart breaking for us all, it was a special moment in our lives that will NEVER be forgotten, that baby was given to your sister for a reason and she needs to meet that child it will change her forever....It may be a hard time but my opinion is that it is a huge mistake if she doesnt take this risk, I mean really what is she losing...either she aborts the baby on her own and never gets a second chance or she gives birth and goes from there...sorry just my opinion I feel very strongly about this kind of stuff...

I definitely, definitely, think your sister should NOT have an abortion. Give birth and have at least a little chance at a healthy baby, or just kill the baby and take away all chance... I'd choose the first. Besides the fact that abortion is murder in all circumstances, an abortion could cause serious physical long term effects to your sister's body, especially as far along as she is... it may make it very difficult for her to ever get pregnant again. And yes, I agree with the others, meeting her precious child even if he/she dies shortly after, will really help her cope with the emotional stress.
