Maybe I'll write something someday about my "first person account" - I found out by ultrasound that my baby had severe birth defects, yet I chose to keep him, although I was offered abortion, and although there is pain and sorrow, often quite a bit, the joy far outweighs it, and I can't count the number of people who have been blessed by my son and have told us so. I think those stories should be out there, too - I wonder if the magazine would accept my story?

I wonder what percentage of babies are aborted because of birth defects. I imagine it's pretty small.
