Court Rejects Plea to Abort Sick Fetus

I do not believe in abortion of any kind. Monday, the Bombay High Court rejected a woman's petition to abort her 25 week old fetus with a congenital heart problem because the law does not permit such late term abortions. I don't think they should allow any at all. The parents say they cannot afford to pay for the frequent change of pacemaker that the baby's condition would require. Abortions there permit abortions after 20 weeks only if there is a risk to the mother. There are so many wonderful groups now such as CBN who do operations on babies free that they should be able to find someone who will do this for them at no cost. The baby can have a heart operation even in the uterus. It is being done today.
