Doctors told Jodie to have an abortion of her "disabled baby." But she REFUSED. And now her daughter is happy and healthy! At 30 weeks of pregnancy, Australian mom Jodie was told to abort what likely would be her only child. She said she had suffered several miscarriages and her daughter was the first to survive that long. Because of her age and a recent break-up with her child’s father, she knew her baby girl likely would be her only child. But when doctors discovered that her unborn daughter might have Down syndrome, they urged Jodie to throw away her dreams – and end her daughter’s life. “I looked up the reality of terminating a child at that gestation, and it destroyed me. I would be induced and give birth to a dead child. I just couldn’t do it,” Jodie said. “Everything in me said, ‘No, this doesn’t make sense.’” Jodie chose life and today is the mother of a happy, healthy little girl. “She’s everything that I’ve ever wanted in life in a tiny little package of perfection,” she said. From the start, she said she faced pressure to abort her unborn daughter. “They said because of my age, my past history as a smoker and other statistics that there was a high risk of Down syndrome,” Jodie told the blog. “They wanted me to look at abortion then. It infuriated me.” The abortion pressure increased during her 30-week ultrasound when testing indicated her daughter was missing part of her brain, pituitary gland and optic nerves. “That’s when they said, ‘We think you need to terminate,’” Jodie said. “It was horrendous. I was spiraling. I lost it. I burst into tears. I couldn’t hear anything after that.” Jodie said she looked up what a late-term abortion would be like and immediately decided against it. A late-term abortion typically is a three-day procedure that begins with injecting poison into the baby’s heart to kill her. Then, about two days later, labor is induced and the mother gives birth to a dead child. Rejecting the horrific practice, Jodie said she was resolved to fight for her daughter. “From that moment on, I stopped doing the ‘what ifs’ and just kept going,” she said. Her daughter, Jasmine, was born. Other than having jaundice, she was healthy. “Before I became pregnant, I was seeing a suicide counselor but now I can’t imagine not being here,” Jodie said. “I’m a million percent grateful that I didn’t listen to the doctors. … She’s completely changed my world. I’m a different person and a better version of myself because of her.”

The pro-choice side loves to pretend abortion is what you do before you get Starbucks in the morning. The reality is far more gruesome.

Nytkö tätä p*skaa aletaan tyrkyttämään jo Suomeenkin?? Miten sairaassa tilassa kansan pitää olla, että näkee tällaisen vauvojen tehtailun hyväksyttävänä tai kannatettavana asiana? Oksettavaa. En koskaan voisi kannattaa sijaissynnyttämisen laillistamista. Jos ei voi itse saada biologisia lapsia, niin sillon voisi halutessaan harkita adoptiota. Tällainen tehtailu taas on jotain niin vastenmielistä, ettei sen tulisi olla enää koskaan mahdollista Suomessa.

Insane but not surprising. IVF turns human Life into a commodity: frozen, graded, selected, shipped, discarded. Human beings are not products to manufacture and transport in luggage. Every human in embryonic form is a child with inherent dignity, not inventory.

Abortion survivor Gianna Jessen credits God with saving her life. Not once but twice. The first time was while she was inside her mother’s womb and the abortionist tried to kill her. The second time occurred when she was born prematurely and did not require any resuscitation. “It doesn’t make any sense … but that is how powerful my God is,” she said. A pro-life speaker and author, she has spoken across the world about the value of unborn babies’ lives and the evil of abortion. Jessen says her biological parents were 17 when she was conceived. When her mother was 29 weeks pregnant, she went to an abortion facility for a late-term, saline infusion abortion, according to the report. “It’s a salt solution that is injected into the mother’s womb; the baby then gulps that solution. It burns, blinds and suffocates the child,” she said. Saline infusion abortions are not common now in the abortion industry because too many unborn babies like Jessen have survived. Typically used with late-term unborn babies, the deadly procedure involves injecting a toxic salt solution into the amniotic fluid to poison and scald the unborn baby to death over the course of several days. Then, labor is induced and the dead baby is born. The toxic solution injured Jessen, causing cerebral palsy, but it did not kill her, she said. “I would not be disabled [except for the abortion attempt],” she told the crowd. “You can imagine how I feel when I hear the argument, ‘If the baby is disabled, we need to terminate it.’” Miraculously, she survived the abortion. Then, Jessen said God saved her life again when she was born alive on April 6, 1977 and did not require resuscitation. If she had needed the extra care, she could have been killed or left to die. “Apart from Jesus himself, the only reason I am alive is the fact that the abortionist had not yet arrived at work that morning. Had he been there, he would have ended my life by strangulation, suffocation or simply leaving me there to die. Instead, I lived and have the gift of cerebral palsy as a direct result of lack of oxygen to my brain while surviving an abortion." Dozens, perhaps hundreds, of babies survive abortions every year in the United States, but no one knows exactly how many. Most states do not keep track of babies who survive abortions.

If human rights come from our ability to exercise human reason, then newborns don’t have human rights as they don’t yet have the ability to reason. If it comes from our future capacity to reason, then you’ve just made a prolife argument: a fetus has the same future capacity too.

The exemption doesn’t prove your point. It proves mine. Even the government acknowledges it’s a human child. They just decided some humans are killable if unwanted. That's not consistent law. That’s the same flavor of tyranny that justified slavery.

Surullinen viesti. Kokoomusnaiset ovat irrottautuneet kauas elämän perusarvoista. Lapsen elämän lopettaminen missä tahansa kehityksen vaiheessa ei voi olla perusoikeus. Oikeus elämään sen sijaan on ihmisoikeus. Erityisesti heitä tulee suojella, jotka eivät siihen itse pysty.

In general, this is one the biggest pro abort self-owns in the thread. UVVA explicitly defines the "unborn child" as a member of Homo sapiens at any stage, then carves out an exemption for killing them. You treat rights as privileges the strong grant the weak.

Natural rights say the right to life isn’t revocable based on dependency or location. Natural rights exist precisely to prevent the strong from declaring the weak have no rights to continued existence. Your "no automatic rights" is just dressed up might makes right.

This person is just rage baiting to get engagement. Being ignored is the best answer to people like her 👍

Abortion has become even more evil -- organs are extracted while the babies are still alive: “The babies are still alive when the researchers start extracting the tissue, to the point where their heart is still beating, and they’re generally not given any anesthetic, because that would disrupt the cells that the researchers are trying to extract.”

IVF turns children into a product to be created, sold, and discarded - violating their basic human rights.

🎯 Because if pregnancy is about mutual consent, it's akin to statutory rape, because mutual consent is impossible. The only alternative is presumed consent, which implies obligations that are PROPORTIONAL to the consent implied. Creating both a right to gestate/be gestated.

Citing bodily autonomy to defend the destruction of an innocent, powerless human beings body is oxymoronic for obvious reasons. The inherent right to life is the most fundamental, again, for obvious reasons. Sorry, consider this cherished pro abort argument thoroughly debunked.

Yet you do too. You restrict some humans from having any rights, though that'd benefit both them AND their families. All because of your personal belief that they're not "persons".

Baby Lennon was miscarried at 10 weeks. This is the age when many babies are killed by the abortion pill. No child deserves to be starved to death and violently expelled from their mother’s body. BAN the abortion pill.

Great business idea. Burgers made from cow fetuses for pro-choice vegans.

Never have I read anything more perfect than this
