Choose Life… A Florida abortionist lost his medical license after he killed a healthy unborn baby while trying to destroy the baby’s twin diagnosed with Down syndrome. This was a legal but careless ‘selective reduction” for the parents who had used IVF reproduction. After the mistake was discovered, the parents decided to abort the remaining twin.  (NRL News, Apr/May, 2010)
