It may seem ludicrous to think that a baby would be aborted because of a missing toe, but something as minor as that is enough for an abortionist to legally commit an abortion even days before birth.<\/p>\n<p>Choice42 also tackles the issue of abortion in cases of rape in this video as Klassen takes note that she can&#8217;t figure out which of the babies is the one conceived in raped based on their ultrasound images.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I wouldn&#8217;t want to see anyone born into a less than perfect life.
