Olympic Gymnast Rejects Doctors Call To Abort Triplets

Matthew 19:18 ESV “And Jesus said, “You shall not murder…”

Editor’s Note: Throughout the scriptures, God has made it clear that shedding innocent blood is murder, and no murderer will enter heaven. In addition to the death of the unborn baby, abortion also substantially harms the women and many times, families, husbands, boyfriends and a whole sphere of relationships connected to and surrounding each abortion. Often, lifelong guilt and other social, relational, spiritual and even physical problems follow the murder of innocent babes in the womb. Pastor Jim Bakker believes that this issue, abortion, may be the single most significant issue that brings God’s judgment on this nation more than any other.

A former Olympic gymnast for Great Britain is refusing doctors demands that she abort her triplets because of “potential health risks” to the babies.

35-year-old Jaime Halsey and her husband were thrilled in October to find they were going to be parents of triplets.  Doctors then began to pressure them because of fears the babies would suffer from IUGR: Intrauterine Growth Restriction.

“We had our first scan in Northampton at 12 weeks and were immediately referred to specialists at John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford,” she told the Northampton Chronicle. “They told us one of the twins is 25 percent smaller than the other and there’s a massive risk of further growth restrictions.”

“I also risk putting my body under three times the strain to keep them healthy,” she explained, “so they advised the termination.”

Halsey says that she flatly rejected the call of the doctors to abort two of the babies to let the third live.

“Everything went well at the last scan and all three babies are growing well,” Mr. Halsey told reporters. “The one twin remains smaller, but all three are extremely active, which is good news.”

Halsey was the UK’s first female to compete in trampoline when she appeared in the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games.
