(Right to Life UK<\/a>) A woman who was born missing an arm and half her legs has revealed that her mother told her that her disabilities were due to her failed abortion.<\/p>\n

The Canadian radio-host Charlie Rousseau, 25 grew up feeling like a \u2018normal child\u2019 and \u2018didn\u2019t realise she was disabled\u2019 until she was a teenager.<\/p>\n

Charlie found out from her mother that the reason she had disabilities was because of a \u2018botched\u2019 abortion her mother tried to have whilst she was pregnant with her.<\/p>\n

The radio host\u00a0told FEMAIL<\/a>: \u201cMy mother decided to have an abortion but\u2026 it went wrong. My parents believed making a big deal of it would ruin my life because the story would be everywhere as I was growing up.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe doctor allegedly told my parents to keep the baby even though the abortion process wasn\u2019t finished. They could\u2019ve taken it further, they could\u2019ve taken the hospital to court but we were living in a small town and my parents didn\u2019t want to make a big deal\u201d.<\/p>\n
