An article on YNET (one of the leading Hebrew-language dailies) reported on an Israeli couple that had numerous prenatal tests and doctors suspected their baby was carrying the chromosomes for Down’s Syndrome. The couple was urged to have an abortion, only to discover later that the baby was misdiagnosed. They are now suing three different hospitals.
Israel leads the world in sheer number of prenatal tests it offers to pregnant mothers. There have been numerous cases where the test results were incorrect. Yet, abortion is promoted as the quick and simple solution to any possible problem, without any consideration of the repercussions of that abortion on the woman or her family.
Sandy Shoshani, director of Be’ad Chaim Association for the Protection of the Woman and Unborn Child in Israel, writes: "My concern . . . is that children in the womb are not considered human beings unless they are wanted by their parents and by society.
"At Be’ad Chaim, we have been praying about lobbying in the government and press in order to further increase public awareness of the dangers of abortion to women and the value of unborn children. As a result of much prayer, we see early signs of this already taking place to a certain degree, yet we believe that further action needs to be taken. As a first step, we have decided to increase our advertising in major newspapers and to publish the testimonies of women who have been hurt by abortion alongside articles on those who’ve continued pregnancies despite difficult circumstances. Please pray for wisdom and resources as we pursue a major change in public opinion on abortion." Bead Chaim Life News
