UK: Cleft Lip, Club Foot Abortions 10X More Than Reported

In a shocking new report, the London Telegraph newspaper indicates European researchers show abortions done on babies with minor disabilities that doctors ca easily correct is ten times higher than previously indicated.

Although babies with club feet or cleft palates can undergo surgery to correct the physical problems, mothers and couples are still having abortions when the conditions are diagnosed in the womb.
