Theodora, may I ask if you have ever known anyone whose baby was, at a late stage in pregnancy, diagnosed with a condition which meant they would only have a short and miserable life, unable to see, hear or communicate? That happened to a friend of mine who already had two healthy children. She and her husband were practising Christians and making the decision to have an abortion was devastating for them. I hope you have never had to make that decision. If you haven’t, try walking in the shoes of someone who has.
