Pro-life activist Lila Rose went in for her ultrasound last week, and afterward tweeted about why she is finding a new doctor, and exposed a fundamental illness in our medical system.
She tweeted on Saturday that the medical system is on a “search and destroy” mission to find babies with disabilities and terminate them. You know, kill them.
Needless to say, she is finding a new doc.
At my 1st ultrasound, I was offered 3 tests whose sole purpose was to detect disability in my baby. I asked the dr, so what if we find something? She said we consider “our options.” Our medical system is on a search & destroy hunt for babies w/ disability. & I’m finding a new doc

She followed up.
For those asking, main option was “termination” (I was told the dr does it herself, despite saying she was “pro-life.”) Yes, ultrasound later in pregnancy can help prep a family for a baby w/ disability. But amniocentesis can cause miscarriage & is often done to enable abortion

And she had some important replies. The stories are simultaneously uplifting and infuriating and depressing.
We had the exact same experience. Same wording.
“So you can consider your options.”
How is this not discriminatory against individuals with disabilities? https://t.co/IhXWumCotj

That’s exactly what my wife chose to do. You are exactly right. One of her OB’s slipped her the number to the abortion clinic. Lila, it all STARTS with THEM. pic.twitter.com/D4thHWbp4F

I am a Mom of triplets. At my 1st two ultrasounds I was urged to consider selective reduction (fancy term for aborting 1-2 of my babies) from both the reproductive endocrinologist who impregnated me & the perinatologis because triplet pregnancies are risky. They turn 15 tomorrow. pic.twitter.com/snm7rlGiQC

There were dozens more.
By the way, Rose also tweeted the result of that ultrasound. The picture of a new life.
Our first ultrasound at 7 weeks, hearing our baby’s heartbeat for the first time.
How can any abortion supporter in good conscience hear this heartbeat and imagine ending it, not by a hired hitman, but by their own hands? pic.twitter.com/t00mGAroAs
