Couple Wanted Surrogate of Twins to Abort One Baby After Learning He Had Down Syndrome
An Australian couple who was paying a woman from Thailand to carry their twin unborn babies as a surrogate asked the woman to abort one of the babies because testing had revealed one of the babies has Down Syndrome.
The couple enlisted the woman, whose family was heavily in debt, to become their surrogate and to use IVF to become pregnant. She was subsequently found to be pregnant with twins but the initial joy turned to rejection when testing showed a boy nicknamed Gammy was diagnosed with Down Syndrome.
The couple wanted the mother to have an abortion, but she refused and eventually gave birth to Gammy and his twin sister in Bangkok. The couple then refused to take Gammy back with them to Australia and left him in Thailand.
Now, a campaign to pay Gammy’s medical bills and provide support for him is spreading worldwide.
It’s time for us to face the horror and depravity of human abortion and begin to end this affront to our collective humanity.
