I have recently read an article on the CNN web site called "Surrogate
offered $10,000 to abort baby." In this article, Chrystal Kelley explains
everything that went down between her and a couple that Chrystal was carrying
their child. The parents asked to be remained anonymous throughout this
situation. Chrystal's pregnancy was as normal as every other pregnancy. Until the
day she went in for her six-month ultrasound. The doctor was having trouble
finding the tiny baby's heart. She then suggested that Chrystal come back in a
week when the baby would be more developed. When Chrystal came back the
nurse then again told her that she was having trouble finding the baby’s
heartbeat. She then directed Chrystal to go to the Hartford Hospital. Before
Chrystal could make it to her first appointment at Hartford Hospital, she got
an unexpected call from the baby’s biological mother. The mother had told
Chrystal that the nurse from her previous hospital had discovered that the baby
had a cleft lip, cleft palate, a cyst in the brain, and complex heart problems.
The biological mother was terrified, she the offered Chrystal $10,000 to abort
the baby. When Chrystal declined the mother took legal action, forcing Chrystal
to either have the abortion or to hand over the baby at the time of birth so
the biological parents cold give it up for adoption. Chrystal fled the state so
they could not follow up on her and demand the baby back. The baby girl was
born and has been given two adoptive parents who love and care for her every
day even though she has these medical issues. Chrystal Kelley is still being
attacked by others saying that she should have listened because it wasn’t her
choice to keep the baby.
Personally I think that Chrystal did the right thing. I think it is
totally absurd for parents to pay someone $10,000 dollars to abort their tiny,
unborn child. I feel that abortion is wrong, no matter the circumstances. These
parents would definitely NOT receive the ‘parent of the year’ award in my book.
I agree with you! I find it crazy that they would tell her to abort the baby just because it had problems! Even though the baby wasn't going to turn out the way you wanted it to, that doesn't give you the right to just kill it! I think that Chyrstal did the right thing by not listening to the biological parents and taking the matter into her own hands.
ReplyDeleteWhy are people still mad at her? She gave the baby up for adoption anyway therefore she was listening to the biological parents. And I also believe that is was partially her choice too because the baby is inside of her, not them! I agree with you and I am also a person who believes that you shouldn't have an abortion no matter what. Chrystal defiantly did the right thing.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that she did the right thing. I feel that no matter what, there is never an excuse on why you should have an abortion. I don't think that the biological parents are very kind because they wanted to kill an innocent child because it had problems! I don't understand why people are mad at her because she did save an innocent baby's life.
