There is no "life-affirming option."
The baby is going to die. Period.
Either she dies immediately through procedural abortion or she dies in utero or she dies after birth, hastened by pain killers which suppress breathing.
TX Right to Life just wants to her to die their way.

Itโs selfish. You could prevent suffering, but you wonโt. Why? To fulfill some moral or religious need you have? A fetus has no religion. A baby knows nothing but whatever sensations theyโre capable of feeling. The idea of a babyโs entire life being suffering is an atrocity.
@ProTruth4Life
Babies w/Trisomy 18 don't necessarily die after birth. I support Kate Cox's right to decide on an abortion, but you're not being 100% truthful here.

A - You don't know that. While the survival rate *is* low (8%), there are people who have Edward's syndrome and are still alive.
B - Texas allows abortions if there's a 'severe and irreversible fetal abnormality'. She could have gotten it under that exception if she wanted.
