A mother has shared her delight and relief after an abortion failed to kill her son. “He’s a miracle”, she said on TikTok, post-birth.

When she became pregnant, having already given birth to a son from a previous relationship, the mother decided to have an abortion because she believed she was not stable enough, “financially or mentally”, to have another child.

Taking an abortion pill at an abortion facility, then four more pills at home, the mother initially believed that the procedure had been effective.

But signs of pregnancy persisted, and the facility instructed her to take another course of pills.

Yet, the woman remained pregnant, which was confirmed by a practitioner at the abortion facility.

“So, I left, deciding I was having a baby”, she explained.

Her baby, who was delivered on Christmas Eve, was born with a club foot due to the effect of the abortion pills, is to have corrective surgery for the impairment.

While some people on TikTok doubted how the mother could love a son that she did not want, the mother has said: “You don’t have to justify yourself to anyone… I love my kid, of course I do, I decided to have him, I could have still got the surgical abortion.”

SPUC comment

A SPUC spokesperson said: “One of the tragedies of abortion is that it robs mothers of the joy of bringing newborns into the world and raising them.

“Preying on the natural concerns of women who are understandably worried about how they will raise a child, the abortion industry enables the worst fears of vulnerable women.

“But here we can see the joy that this baby his given this mother, despite initially believing she would not be able to raise him.

“We must push back against the anti-life, anti-child, anti-motherhood pessimism that the cynical abortion industry represents.”
