UK mother recalls how she cradled her son after he survived the late- term abortion intended to kill him

 
 

A mother has recalled how she had to cradle her crying son and watch him die in a UK hospital after he survived the abortion that was intended to kill him. Mother, Sofia Khan, said: "The midwife went into shock. She was screaming for help, she ran with the baby into the corridor."

In 2018, Sofia and Shakeel Khan, from Bolton, decided to abort their unborn son after discovering he had spina bifda. 

At 25 weeks of pregnancy, medics at St. Mary’s Hospital in Manchester delivered a lethal chemical into the umbilical cord. Ms Khan was told that the baby’s heartbeat had stopped, and she prepared to give birth to a dead baby. 

Ms Khan described how, following the abortion, she still felt her baby kicking. 10 hours later, when she was due to give birth to her dead son, she was stunned to hear him crying.

Ms Kahn’s son, whom she named Mohammed Rehman, had survived the late-term abortion that was intended to kill him. Medics did not help Mohammed after he was born alive.

Ms Khan said: "The midwife went into shock. She was screaming for help, she ran with the baby into the corridor. They brought him back and said: ‘What do you want us to do?’ and I didn’t know what they meant. I held him and cuddled him and told him how much I loved him.  He was such a fighter. He had a huge hole in his spine and he was very disabled, and yet he hung on to life for an hour."

Abortion Survival

In 2019, state data revealed how atleast 40 babies had been born alive after failed abortion attempts between 2016 and 2018 across three American states.

The data exposed how that, following failed abortions, 19 babies were born alive in Florida, 11 in Minnesota and 10 in Arizona across a period of three years.

The US Centres for Disease Control (CDC) believe that at least 143 babies were born alive after failed abortion attempts in the USA between 2003 and 2014, whilst research compiled by the American Center for Law and Justice suggests that figure to be much higher, estimating that there have been 362 US abortion survivors between 2001-2010.

Whilst there are few official records in the United Kingdom that document born-alive abortion survivors, the recent data emerging from the USA, combined with the surfacing testimonies of abortion-survival in the United Kingdom, leads SPUC to believe that this issue requires more investigation.

A spokesperson for one of the UK’s largest abortion giants, Marie Stopes, has said that: "The chance of a termination failing is very low. In the UK, around 0.02% of women who have had a surgical abortion will require a further procedure."

According to the UK’s most recent abortion statistics, this would point towards an average of 19 failed abortion attempts per year.

John Smeaton, SPUC’s chief executive, said: "The impersonal response of Marie Stopes with references to ‘a termination failing’, and ‘0.002% of women … will require a further procedure’ reveals the lies and the heart of darkness at the centre of the abortion industry. ‘a termination failing’, actually means ‘an abortion failing to kill the baby’; and ‘a further procedure’ means ‘a second attempt to kill the baby’. On the other hand, Ms Khan’s response reveals the truth and the heart of a mother when she says of her son: ‘I held him and cuddled him and told him how much I loved him.  He was such a fighter.’

"Baby Mohammed fought for life to the end and this heart-rending story serves to increase SPUC’s determination to fight for life to the end".
