Mother Of Conjoined Twins Who Refused An Abortion Shares The Story Of Her Daughters' Birth And Short Life
Nicole LeBlanc was told early on that her daughters had very little chance of surviving after they were born. But she chose to give them life, even if they only lived for an hour.
We live in a culture that excuses abortion in a variety of circumstances. If a woman doesn't feel ready to be a mom, if a woman isn't financially prepared, or if a woman's baby has a birth defect, she is told by friends, medical professionals, and society to just go in for an abortion. After all, it's her body and her "choice." But Nicole LeBlanc decided to carry her conjoined twin daughters to term, despite their low chances of survival, due to their shared heart and other vital organs. A viral tweet announcing her pregnancy in December 2022 revealed the twins' condition and the high risk of miscarriage, soliciting prayers and support.
