'My parents might have aborted me'

Baroness Grey-Thompson said:"When I was born there weren't the diagnostics for spina bifida.

It's not known what causes the condition, but a lack of folic acid before and in the early stages of pregnancy is a significant risk factor.In most cases of spina bifida, surgery can be used to close the opening in the spine. But she said that operations like the one carried out to repair the spine of Sherrie Sharp's son Jaxson might not mean everything is"done and dusted", as people can become disabled later in life.Surgeons at King's College Hospital operated on Jaxson while he was still in the womb after a diagnosis at the 20-week stage of his mother's pregnancy

'and I'm cool with that'

Did she ask them or is this all headline grabbing supposition

Yeah and you would never have known or been bothered by it because you would have never existed. When its a human its a life and when its a chicken its an omelette.

But they didn’t so what is the point of this story?

As a second time around mum aged 42, I refused the results of my Downs Syndrome test but allowed it recorded for research. I would never have considered abortion had the test shown a high risk 💕😀

Can’t blame em.

My parents might have aborted me too, what a ridiculous headline

I Could have been aborted too! So could we all, but we wouldn’t know the difference!

And if they had we wouldn't be having this discussion, what is your point?

I think a more representative quote from the article would have been: Tanni Grey-Thompson 'I think you have to respect the family's right to make that choice.' But that wouldn't provoke such strong reactions now would it?

I’m no expert but I’d suspect they probably haven’t.

yes, and?

But they didn’t...see what’s your fucking point?

Why do you feel the need to say that - I must assume they have passed on - at least I hope so for their sake

But they didnt, so who cares.

SteveBrookesMBE did you actually ask them or have you made an assumption

Good old twitter everyone giving their ill informed comments without actually reading the article.

Every cloud and all that

Yeah but on the flip side you could have became a sieral killer too, but didn't.

And?

They didn't, so please move on.

The single most pointless statement 8ncludes the words “might have”... it always means something didn’t happen. Utter utter none story.

'Probably would of terminated...'. The BBC, ladies and gentlemen.

Glad they didn't u r an inspirational lady that proves the truth that all life is worth living

Mine didn’t either. 🤨

She also says that women have the right to choose. This title is click bait

So...?! That doesn’t mean other people in other circumstances should make the same decision.

BBC starting to push the (far right) abortion narrative now..

She’s lucky. Mine aborted me, the scoundrels

Have any of the responders actually read it? 'My parents could have aborted me...... IF they'd known about my spina bifida.'

Why is this news?

Mine might have [canceled] or [continued]....

We have no idea what situation people are during or situations leading to pregnancy. It should be up to them to decide what they do with their lives. I’m sure no one takes the decision to go for abortion easily.

But they didn’t so what’s your point?

Fairly sure they didn’t.

Unlike the Americans... rape or incest. Tough, you gotta keep it.

Glad they didn’t love you

But they didn't.

That’s true of everyone ain’t it?

billyrufc4

I literally don’t give a fuck.

... waiting for jokes...

I'm pretty sure they didn't.
