Choosing not to abort babies with disabilities, in the Washington Times, looks at moms who choose life, however brief, for their babies diagnosed in-utero with disabilities.
I can just hear the grinding of teeth among hardcore abortion advocates. After all, if carrying to term is a blessing even for these worst-case-scenario moms, how much more of a blessing could it be to continue to birth under less dire circumstances?

You may want to read this story about a woman who had a baby with a severe birth defect (she didn't know it until birth). Considering that this woman seems to be quite liberal and I would assume to be "pro-choice", I am very glad that she put it up. Also, one of the first people to comment is a labor & delivery nurse who commented with a snippet of a story of her own -- a woman's baby was prenatally diagnosed with the same birth defect, and the doctors strongly urged her to abort. The baby was born with only a slight defect -- nowhere near what the diagnosis was.
