A mother was left with an agonising decision to make after being advised to abort two of her triplets in order to protect the third.

Elizabeth Brewer fell pregnant with Oriana, Dallon and Deacon but at just 13 weeks was offered a selective reduction.

Mrs Brewer and husband, Timo, were originally expecting twins, but later scans revealed the 41-year-old was carrying triplets, a pair of identical twins, and a third, separate embryo… Doctors at Kings College Hospital in London said there was a high risk the single baby could have Downs Syndrome and if the couple were to abort the twins it would give it a better chance of full health.

…the couple, of, Delves Avenue, took all three babies to full term and the babies were born healthy at 36 weeks and have just celebrated their first birthday alongside brothers Drew, seven, and Devon, five.

Good for her, but she got lucky. Doctors won't suggest an emergency abortion unless they think it's completely necessary

100 mothers have twins and problems with their pregnancy. If all 100 abort one of them, there is a 90% chance 1 can be saved, otherwise, there is a 90% chance both die.

50 choose to abort one, and 45 babies are born and 55 die.

50 choose to go the "natural" route and try to save both. 10 twin babies are born successfully and 45 sets (90 in total) die.

Who killed the 35 babies that would've lived had all 100 chosen to abort one? Christian logic: more dead babies is OK, because that's what God wants?
