The Texas Supreme Court recently refused to create an exception to the state’s ban of almost all abortions for a mother who sought an abortion because her baby was diagnosed with Trisomy 18, a genetic anomaly that can cause a variety of severe birth defects. The news media has unleashed a barrage of stories to attempt to persuade Americans that this mother should be allowed to kill her child because the diagnosis is “fatal” and “lethal” and that carrying the baby to term would be pointless. As a counter to this narrative of gloom, CFN interviews Mrs. Claudia Linton of England. She tells the inspiring story of her daughter Josephine who was born with a very similar condition (Trisomy 13). You will not want to miss this inspiring story of love.
