How in-Utero Diagnosis Is Being Used to Push Abortion

The Pressure to Abort

Parents facing a prenatal diagnosis of a supposedly fatal chromosomal disorder often experience significant pressure to choose abortion, with a disturbing 61% reporting coercion from healthcare providers. Many of these diagnoses, including conditions like trisomy 13 and 18, are categorized as fatal, yet research shows that nearly half of the children diagnosed with such conditions can survive beyond their first year. Additionally, the medical community frequently disseminates inaccurate and pessimistic information, with 57% of parents being told their child would have a life filled with suffering or be unable to function. This misinformation creates a situation where lethal diagnoses become self-fulfilling prophecies, as parents feel compelled to terminate pregnancies based on unverified claims about the viability of their unborn children.
