Can I flood it with the fact I'm also a triplet? 😂😂😂

[@fluffyrivermonster]

I was told to abort my baby. I was told neither of us would make it. I also refused. I don't believe in abortion. I went into premature labor at a little over six months. My labor was stopped and I received steroid shots every week. My baby wasn't even a full pound at six months. Then I was told my baby probably wouldn't make it once born and I should just consider letting the baby die once born. And not using costly life saving medicine and things like that. When I refused and said if God wants my baby He will take it no matter what. But I want everything done to save it. The Dr said of course I would say that since I was poor and had state insurance. I moved across the state back home. I am proud to say I had a girl, who graduated highschool with honors and went on to get married and have a beautiful baby boy herself. She was born mostly healthy. The only issue was her soft spot was larger than it should have been. But everything turned out fine. Thank God!! Stay strong in your faith. Remember mountains move with just a little faith.

I became pregnant with my daughter at 18. My mom had run off on drugs and my step dad was a truck driver. I was living with a friend, no job, no vehicle, and was about to join the Air Force when I found out I was pregnant. I was a Christian and knew abortion was wrong, but felt hopeless and helpless! I thought I had miscarried and went to the ER. The nurse who did my sonogram told me my baby girl was doing just fine. I had no idea what I was having and still hadn't decided to keep her. A coworker told me about all of the resources available to help me care for her and while folding jeans at my job at Kohls...I broke down and prayed and told God that I would have her because I know he can do all things and we would be okay! By the Grace of God, she is 16 now and is an amazing person! She's beautiful and intelligent and loves the Lord. She has an amazing voice and sings like an angel. I'm so grateful for the coworkerwhot helped me work through my doubt and for my God, who has helped me and still helps me!! I love you, Deja! You will always be Mommy's Baby!❤❤

My birth mom gave me up for adoption right after having me. When she found out she was pregnant with me, she was very young. She wanted to keep me but she had no support. Her boyfriend left her, her mom kicked her out. She ended up homeless until a church member took her in and helped her get the adoption process started, housed her, fed her, etc. She could have saved all of that persecution from her family and aborted me but she gave me LIFE. I am 39 now, have had 3 kids myself and had a beautiful life with my adopted family. I finally got to meet my birthmom years ago. Its been such a blessing!

My mom was a homeless drug addict when she had me. She moved in with my dad right after. He was 23, she was 16. I grew up poor, and abused. People using the "shitty home life" argument piss me off. Like, what are you saying? That i never should have been born? My son shouldnt exist? The life I built for MYSELF means nothing? Theres no justification for the murder of a child thats never even seen what the sun looks like. The ONLY situation i would find appropriate for an abortion was if it were medically necessary. Instead of killing children, why dont we focus on fixing the adoption/foster care system so people who arent ready for kids can safely give them away to someone who is.

There are literally millions of families who want to adopt an infant and are ready to do so. It is a shame what some kids go through with foster care...but those are the kids whose parent(s) will not release them for adoption (and the system does try to help reunite the family). One of my pet peeves is when people say abortion should be legal because there are kids in foster care! It's even a worse lie than the horrible childhood argument.

[@darrilyntharp7021]

Even being medically necessary isn't a good argument. Frequently if the pregnancy is that dangerous to the mother it will usually miscarry. That excuse can be so twisted and distorted that I find it hard to agree with. Besides I think all abortions should be abolished. All abortion should be unthinkable.

[@Ember1220]

@@darrilyntharp7021 when I say medically necessary, I mean when the mothers life is at risk. If both the mother and child are going to die, save the life you can save.

There's no need to make a mother suffer the trauma of giving birth to a child that she can never see grow older.

I had triplets, too. Unfortunately, my boys did not survive (but praise God, they went to be with the Lord) but, praise the Lord, my daughter survived! Life hasn’t been easy. I became a single mom the day I found out that there were triplets…they initially thought it was twins. When my daughter wasn’t even a year, we found out she had a traumatic brain injury because of the abusive situation I had been in with my ex (the same incident that we think began a series of events that ultimately led to the loss of my boys). My daughter, also, has epilepsy due to the TBI. I am on disability, myself due to my own neurological issues. Life has not been easy, but God has been so good and taken care of us every step of the way. When I was pregnant, after becoming a single mom (but before I lost my boys), I went to a pregnancy resource center. I never contemplated abortion myself but I did contemplate adoption because I wasn’t sure whether I could provide the best care for my babies and I wanted to do right by my babies. I did not have the family support so it was literally just me. I had lost my mom not long before I became pregnant and I was still deeply grieving her loss. At that point, I was afraid that if I gave my babies up for adoption, that I wasn’t sure I could survive that added loss (though I wholeheartedly believe that adoption is wonderful and beautiful). Not long after that I found out that my sweet boys had passed. It was a huge, devastating loss but, thankfully, God gave me my beautiful baby girl. He, also, made it so that I felt confident keeping my sweet daughter which also gave me a reason to keep going. At the end of my pregnancy, we found out that the neurological disease I have came out of remission; it had been in remission for about 4 years but when it came back, it did so with a vengeance! In spite of all the heart ache and struggles, I wouldn’t trade any of it for anything. Even when life doesn’t turn out the way you expected, or the way you wanted, that doesn’t mean that God doesn’t have a plan or a purpose. It also doesn’t mean that you can’t find good or blessings even when everything is messy, painful, filled with trials and heartaches. I have been through so many difficult times that I sometimes feel like Job (though I wouldn’t say that I have lived the “righteous, upright” life as ascribed to Job) and sometimes all I can do is cry out asking God why and when will things get better or ease up. However, after each set of difficulties, I am able to look back and see God’s hand, His providence, and all the blessings that I may have missed along the way. Life is not always pretty. In fact, it is often messy and painful. But, keeping my daughter has been the greatest blessing and gift (apart from my salvation) in my life!

This is my testimony also. I'm a triplet. Drs told my mother to abort one. Doctors selected me to be aborted. Luckily I'm alive today because my mother chose life. We were all born healthy. My husband is actually a quadruplet. His mother was told to abort 2. All four are alive and healthy today. Both my husband and I was born at 35 weeks Update: In my case and my husband's cases all babies were healthy from the get go. Drs told our parents that it was mandatory for them to push it after two. Unfortunately the smallest are usually females due to genetics. (both are wrong regardless). Usually with multiples the babies are a lot smaller. Both of our mothers was on complete bed rest after 5 1/2 months. Each of us was around 3 pounds each when born. Got to come home less than a week later. We are currently 31 years old. My mom and his mom was actually roommates when they were bedridden at the hospitali. My husband is currently an engineer in the military, and I'm an ICU nurse. We Currently have 6 children and haven't had multiples.

I wouldn't be surprised if "doctors" were told to encourage aborting some of the babies (when moms are pregnant with multiple babies) in an effort to accomplish "population control." ("The difference between conspiracy theory and fact is about 6 months.") Edit: I want to also say, God bless you, and your original nuclear family!

Doctors don’t ‘ask’ to abort, they explain it’s an option and are obligated to give mothers information. In a pregnancy at 46 the information would be tilted more towards the risks because if they don’t give that information and the woman dies/baby ends of severely disabled etc they can then claim they ‘were not informed’ and sue to doctor. There is nothing bad about giving woman information and the choice to manage their pregnancy/birth etc as they wish.

My mother had been trying to get pregnant for 10 years, and when she finally became pregnant with me, she became very ill. So ill, in fact, that one of her doctors recommended that she have an abortion. She completely refused to do this and instinctively knew that everything would be fine. And it was-because I was born perfectly healthy, two months premature. Her blood pressure spiked so much when that same doctor repeatedly tried to convince her to have an abortion that he was eventually banned by the other doctors from visiting her. My mother gave birth to my sister under similar circumstances and lived for 26 years before she took her last breath on this earth. Thank you mom for being badass, the world isnt the same without you ❤

[@HellenaHanbasquet]

I have 2 stories. First, I’m a birth mother. I was pregnant as a teen and the father was a trash human. My mother pushed hard for me to abort. I couldn’t do it. I’m so glad I didn’t. Her adoptive mom is more like a big sister than most of my blood family is. I got to help raise her, I babysat her and picked her up from school a few times when mom was busy. That baby is now a 29 year old special needs teacher who got to do her student teaching in Japan, she leads the happiest life I never could have given her at that time ❤ Second, My youngest daughter has Down Syndrome. She was diagnosed at 19w4d. When the doctor called us in to tell us, he sat us down and told us what a burden she was going to be, how she’d cause our family so much grief, we’d have an eternal toddler, her siblings would resent us for keeping her and on and on. He went on and said, we had two options. We could adopt, “there are lots of families who want *those* kids” or we could abort. He had time at 900 the next morning and had already penciled us in for the time. I came unglued. My husband…who is the stereotypical big burley scary biker guy, came out of his seat, backed the doctor up to the wall stuck his finger in his face and told him “that’s my daughter, if you try to lay a finger on her, I’ll do to you whatever you think you’re going to do to her”. We left and never came back. Our daughter is 13 now. She’s beat cancer. She’s on honor roll. She’s on StuCo, plays in the band, sings in the choir, works at the schools coffee shop and is so popular among the entire student population, she has a breakfast bar at the school named after her😂 her sisters adore her and never felt slighted. Our family is better for her being here.

Amen! The devil is such a liar and scummy. May the lord continue to rebuke him. After my first I had severe ppd and I wanted to end my life and my daughters. Fortunately my husband was quick and paid for me to go to therapy for almost two years. It saved my life. During my second pregnancy I developed a condition called Achalasia where I was unable to swallow anything. For 137 days I couldn’t keep anything down and was taken to the ER. The doctors told me I was pregnant and that just should abort my son because he would be sick due to the malnutrition- I kept him and the lord put me in the hands of good doctors who put me on TPN for the duration of my pregnancy. My son was born healthy and perfect. Now I’m pregnant with my third and yesterday I rushed to the ER due to heavy bleeding. I prayed to God for my baby and turns out it was just a little hemmorage that in no way affects the baby. God is so good and as women the devil will always come after the fruit of our womb, because they are blessings from the lord but as the word says he will not forsake us and he will deliver us from every evil attack and enemy ❤ all the praise and worship be to the faithful, covenant keeping King of kings 🙌🏽

The doctor had given her the option to get rid of a couple and she looked at him like he was crazy. She said, “are u serious, I’m keeping all 4!” It was a miracle that we were all born healthy at 2 months premature. We are two girls and two boys.

They advised an abortion as he was 'not viable', and the breech would lead to infection and my death. I went home against the advice and hid. The care provider sent certified letters releasing me from their care and advised me that they would be contacting family services. I remained at home until labor began. I was lifeflighted 35 minutes away from my hometown and had an emergency c section in the nearest major city. As the surgeon loomed over me, I asked if my baby would cry. He told me not to expect him to take his first breath. Before my family could join me, my baby made his appearance. "Kiss him! You're a mom!" They brought him to my face, and I kissed his tiny head, and he screwed up his face, and he bellowed! 29 weeks at 2lbs 11ozs and absolutely perfect. He's 20. In his own place, he is a utility worker.

Living in poverty is one thing that we cant blame the parents, but living in violence and SA is another and of course its adult fault for not protection their children.

I guess I’m too empathetic of a person to see this as anything but a better outcome than just unaliving them. Unaliving someone before they die isn’t compassion. It just makes you a killer.

My mom got pregnant at 19 from a fling. My very conservative grandfather kicked her out of the home. She had nothing. My grandmother took her in and pleaded with her to keep her baby. My mom got on welfare, had me, worked her single mother butt off and got off of welfare within two years with a lot of support from my grandmother. That was 34 years ago. Now I have two children and a paid off home and live a prosperous life.

[@areanavalencia9344]

When my mom was pregnant with my baby sister, she was told that the baby was going to come out with Down syndrome. They pushed and pushed and pushed her to have an abortion, so far that they took the liberty of making her an appointment to do it. My step dad told my mom that however the baby was going to come out, they were going to love her and she agreed. When my sister was born, there was absolutely nothing wrong with her, no signs of Down syndrome or anything else. They were pushing to kill a perfectly gorgeous baby. And now as adults, she is my best friend in the whole world, I couldn’t be more thankful that the Lord intervened in that moment.

[@icestationzebraassociates2460]

Absolutely. The triplets in the video, and so many of the stories in these comments, illustrate why appeal to authority is a logical fallacy. Because doctors are human and are often absolutely wrong.

[@HellenaHanbasquet]

@@areanavalencia9344 it’s sadly normal for clinics to push termination for Down Syndrome. Our doctor had our termination booked before even talking to us. Time and time again they’re wrong. Our daughter was born with Down Syndrome so that part they were right about, but they also told us she’d be a burden, an eternal child, her siblings would hate us for keeping her bla bla bla. She’s 13 now on honor roll, popular and loved by everyone. These doctors can’t predict the future and it’s so gross that they want to push termination so hard. I’m glad your sister was born without the extra difficulties that go with Down Syndrome. It’s certainly not anything I’d wish on someone, but it’s still a life worth living.

[@roxyroxii1152]

Doctors do this to avoid lawsuits. If they push hard to terminate and you use faith in God to push back, you are less likely to file suit if the child is as they predicted. It’s risk mitigation to them.

I am currently pregnant with triplets. At our first OBGY appointment, right after the first ultrasound where the doctor told us all the baby’s are happy and healthy, she then informed us that we could reduce the pregnancy. She mentioned it 3 times. It was SO OFFENSIVE especially since these beautiful babies were gifted to us through embryo donation and it clearly said it in our chart. I couldn’t be more grateful that God is allowing me to carry these babies and that these babies biological parents chose life so that we could have a baby(s).

My mom was on and off of drugs through her twenties, only quitting the drugs when she found out she was pregnant (4 times). The doctors advised her to abort one of my brothers because there was no way he would have a good quality of life. Thank the Lord she didn't. He is now a very happy, healthy, functioning adult. It's honestly a miracle we all weren't worse off because technically she did do drugs in the beginning of each pregnancy.

I was pregnant with my 3rd out of wedlock, and the dad was so freaked out that he abandoned me. I spoke to God on this long walk that I took. I was asking what it was that i had to do. How could i raise three kids on my own, I wasn't strong enough, and I asked him for a sign and he gave me three one of the signs was my first childs birthday on the ground, the 2nd Ill keep private but the third was a church. All the signs were in the same spot. I decided then that I would keep my baby. My now husband profusely apologized to me for putting me through that. That was 21 years ago. We have a big family today, and abortion was never an option. Through Him all things are possible. Thank you God for all the blessings you have laid upon us 🙏

[@bbbcamp10]

I took a pregnancy test.... it was positive.... the doctor made an assumption that I was a black single mom and told me at the appointment I should abort and terminate my pregnancy because they could not see or hear a heartbeat- long story short, My son is 4.... God gave me discernment to not listen to the doctor and take blood tests each day for 2 weeks to see my HCG levels increase and IT DID! My husband was serving in the military and I was not only a Mom of a 2 year old but didn't see my husband the entire pregnancy....I didn't realize how much my life could have changed if I had listened to that doctor. Thank you heavenly father. Thank you.

My mom was fighting breast cancer when she became pregnant with me. The doctors tried to convince her to abort me, because they didn't want her to have to put her chemotherapy on hold.

I heard often that the mothers had been told that they needed to do selective abortions for the good of the babies. The mothers I met did not choose this option. If you are wanting a baby and family as badly as these women did, you can’t bring yourself to choose to kill one. Thank you for the work you do!

When they take the life of a defenseless child, not only have they committed the most despicable act possible by the killing of an innocent, but they've completely erased that childs very existence. They die without a name. They die without anyone to grieve for them, to pray for their souls but most importantly to simply acknowledge they were here, they were real and someone is there to keep their memory alive by telling others .But compounding this act of ultimate violence is the fact history has been altered. How many lives have been saved by the boy who became a doctor ? Mine is the story of my GrandDaughter. Her name IS Demi Marie and had I not allowed my GrandDaughter to be murdered by an abortionist, in eleven days, She would have been seven years old Never forget them.
