The Decision
Dr. Sam said to me: I dont know how to say this, except to come right out with it, Miriam. The tests we did last week show that there are abnormalities with the fetus. I recommend you consider an abortion.
I sat, hands folded together in my lap, numbed by his words. The world around me disappeared as I strove to absorb the dreadful news Dr. Sam was giving me. His voice came to me as if spoken in a tunnel, hollow and echoing. Could this be true? The baby inside me, the miracle created by love, wasnt perfect!
Your baby has a condition known as Downs Syndrome. The problems you will face if you dont terminate this pregnancy could be overwhelming, especially now that Paul is no longer with you. Here I was, thirty nine years old, pregnant for the first time, and my doctor, my trusted friend, was telling me I should kill this innocent life in my womb. I knew I had to respond but words escaped me. Finally, I was able to speak. I need some time to consider my options. With all that has happened in the past month and a half, I dont want to do anything without knowing all I can about this.
You dont have long, Miriam. You are eleven weeks along and its dangerous to perform an abortion after twelve weeks, try not to prolong your decision.
