Susan Thompson, a mother of seven, shared her story of choosing life on Facebook<\/a>. At 28-years-old, already with two toddlers at home, Susan and her husband Mark found out what would shock any expectant parents: they weren’t just having one baby, they were having five<\/em>! They were joyful at what they saw as God’s gift in their life. But not everyone was so happy. She writes, “Immediately, my doctor talked to me about selective reduction. When I said no, he sent me to a specialist who repeatedly asked me to consider reducing my pregnancy to triplets or even twins.”<\/p>\n

Pregnancy with multiples can be challenging and dangerous for mom and babies. Because of these risks, parents of multiples are routinely pressured to “selectively reduce.” In other words, one or more of the babies is killed by abortion while the remaining children are allowed to live. No matter what the risks, Susan and her husband Mark knew they would embrace life for all of their children.<\/p>\n
