Suzanne's Story

Three doctors told Suzanne and her husband Peter that she needed to have an abortion. They told her that she had no amniotic fluid and that her baby had a chromosomal abnormality incompatible with life. Suzanne was told that her baby would most certainly die and that she could die as well.

The fact of the matter is that abortion is never medically necessary to save the life of the mother. See the Dublin Declaration, signed by over 1,000 medical professionals:

“As experienced practitioners and researchers in obstetrics and gynaecology, we affirm that direct abortion – the purposeful destruction of the unborn child – is not medically necessary to save the life of a woman.

We uphold that there is a fundamental difference between abortion, and necessary medical treatments that are carried out to save the life of the mother, even if such treatment results in the loss of life of her unborn child.

We confirm that the prohibition of abortion does not affect, in any way, the availability of optimal care to pregnant women.”
