Mother Told to Abort her "Disabled" Baby Gives Birth to Healthy Son

At 20 weeks pregnant Gemma Rodgers went along to have a routine scan at the Glasgow Royal Infirmary hospital. Doctors told Miss Rodgers after the scan that the baby would have spina bifida which meant he would not be able to walk and would have no quality of life. It was also recommended to her to abort the child.

Miss Rodgers thankfully decided against this course of action and Ciaran Rodgers was born in May 2012 with none of the diagnoses the doctors informed her of. Ciaran is now a healthy 3 year old boy and doing very well.

The problem with diagnoses of babies in the womb is the possibility that doctors may get it wrong. And then to advise women to abort the baby when the diagnosis is not 100% certain is as we have seen quite dangerous. How many babies lives have been cut short because of a misdiagnosis? Unfortunately we may never know the answer to this question but the tragedy is there for all to see.

Also the fact that babies who are diagnosed with certain perceived "disabilities" and a modern society's reaction to this to abort the baby is quite a sad place we find ourselves in. Why do we feel the need as a society to encourage mothers to commit the most unnatural act in all of nature, to kill one's offspring. A mother's love is normally unconditional. This is the new warped logic of many in the western world today.
