Several older children at home. Pregnancy complicated by fetal hydrops. Already a poor prognosis for survival. At 22 weeks, the patient began exhibiting mirror syndrome. The pregnancy was literally killing her. She was Catholic. After a long consultation and hours of time for her to wrap her head around their quite sad situation, she consented to the abortion.

Her living children and husband deserve to have her in their lives.
