• With genetic, medical, and surgical advances, doctors can treat the fetus more precisely in the mother’s own womb—long before the baby is even born!

• Every day, parents are given the news that their baby has a medical defect or an incurable disease. For some parents, they hear a diagnosis of spina bifida. While surgery within the first few days after birth has demonstrated some effectiveness, doctors have discovered that performing revolutionary surgery to repair the baby’s defect before birth, while still in the mother’s womb, leads to better outcomes for the child.

• In a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, treatment of babies in the womb was so successful that the trial was stopped early, so that treatment was not withheld from babies randomly selected to receive standard postnatal repair.

Sadly, in North America, 1 in every 2 pregnancies with spina bifida diagnosis are terminated.

Yes, you read that right: 1 out of every 2 of these precious children are killed by abortion.

Why? Especially when we have this life-saving treatment available?
