Her Husband Wanted A Boy, So She Had 18 Abortions Until She Was Pregnant With a Son

Doctors Advised Mom to “Remove” Her “Dead” Unborn Baby, He’s Born Healthy

People Always Say “As Long as the Baby is Healthy.” But if She’s Not, Will You Love Her Less?
“So are you hoping for a boy or a girl?” “It doesn’t matter as long as the baby is healthy.” This is the conversation that I listened to as I stood next to my special needs sister. I bet you have heard this line before; or possibly even said it yourself. Most people do not seem to think through this statement, so I am going to bring up a few things that you may have not thought about.
