The parents of a seven month old girl, Olivia-Jax, are speaking out about her life on Facebook. While in her mother’s womb, Olivia-Jax was diagnosed with a number of medical problems. Her parents report they were pressured to abort her multiple times. And yet, here the smiley little girl is today – perfectly healthy.<\/p>\n

A\u00a0Facebook post by her father (which is no longer publicly available), reads:<\/p>\n

\n

“Hi, I’m Jax. Doctors tried to bully my parents into aborting me three times. They said my intestines were out of my body – my momma and daddy wouldnt let them. They said my legs and feet were deformed and not worth the mothers risk – my momma and daddy wouldnt let them. Then they said i had Trisomy 18 and wouldnt live outside of the womb – and my mommy and daddy wouldnt let them. Daddy said he didnt believe them- he said their evidence was pathetic -daddy said I was fine. My mommy agreed. And went against the will and advice of the top doctors of their field “high risk pregnancy”. I was born a month early – i’m in the 95+% for everything – my hands and feet are perfect – my tummy is just like it is supposed to be – i dont have an extra 18th chromosome- I’m almost 7months old now because i was born a month early and – I’m fine. My name is Olivia-Jax not fetus not human tissue. I’m a little girl that my mommy and daddy didnt give up on – and I’m fine”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Parents continue to tell their own stories of being pressured to abort, often due to predicted disabilities. Often, when these parents choose life, their children are born healthy or far less disabled than the doctors predicted<\/a>. Science has recently discovered<\/a> the ability of babies in the womb to “self-correct” abnormalities, and yet few parents are informed of this fact.<\/p>\n

Parents are also not usually\u00a0informed of exactly what will happen in an abortion procedure. Many times, abortions done because of the baby’s supposed diagnosis are D&E abortions. Former abortionist, Anthony Levatino, explains in the video below what happens in a D&E abortion through the use of medical graphics.
