Why did she abort him for most likely having one kidney?
That's an excellent question...
...if you didn't click the link.
"Percival's first son Thane died of multicystic dysplastic kidneys ? which causes cysts to grow on the kidneys of an unborn baby ? and her second child Lewis was born with serious kidney damage and currently has just one kidney, the Daily Mail reported."
""I was on the (birth control pill) when I became pregnant," Percival, 25, said. "Deciding to terminate at eight weeks was just utterly horrible but I couldn't cope with the anguish of losing another baby."
So her first child died of kidney related disease, devastating her. Her second child was born with serious health problems and will suffer his entire life with it. Her "aborted" child she became pregnant with WHILE ON THE PILL and she feared the outcome would be another unhealthy, sick baby that would die shortly after birth. I think seeing one of your children die and another one cope with lifelong illness is enough to justify wanting to terminate at 8 weeks. Note she's thrilled that he survived and will likely lead a normal life.
