at ten weeks i learned that my second pregnancy had an anomaly, heterotaxy combined with a congenital heart defect. the odds of survival outside of the womb were all bad.<\/p>\n
the baby would have required several heart surgeries just after birth and if she survived those, the odds were she’d only make it to 5 years. i chose an abortion to save that little girl’s suffering as well as the suffering of my family (husband and 2 year old son). it was a hard decision, but as her mother i am the only one qualified to make that heartbreaking decision for my unborn child. i will always miss her, but i made the best decision i could for my family with the best medical advice available. i will never forget her, but i will never regret my decision to terminate for medical reasons. anyone that tells you they should be allowed to make these kinds of decisions for a mother and her child are incredibly short sighted. only a mother in these terrible circumstances should have the right to make these decisions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
