One New Jersey family is celebrating a milestone they were told would never happen: their daughter\u2019s graduation from high school in the top five of her class. Patch reports<\/a> that Sara Deuidicibus of Middletown, New Jersey, graduated fourth in her class with a GPA of 3.97 from Middletown High School North. But if her parents had taken the advice of medical professionals, Sara\u2019s life would have ended before she was born.<\/p>\n

Patch explains<\/a> that while in utero, \u201cdoctors warned her parents that Sara, now 17, would have Down syndrome. They said she would be severely mentally and physically handicapped, and advised her mother to terminate the pregnancy.\u201d Sadly, the Deuidicibuses’ experience is far from unique<\/a>. Many families facing a possible diagnosis of a genetic condition or disability are encouraged to end their children\u2019s<\/a> lives by abortion.<\/p>\n
