Actress refuses abortion: ‘He was my son and he needed me’

All too often, parents are pressured by doctors to undergo genetic screening, and even to abort their babies if it is thought they have a disability. Now a video where an actress hilariously relates how she resisted this pressure is going viral.

When actress Lynn Fergusson (most famous for voicing Mac in Chicken Run) became pregnant with her first child at the age of 37, she was surprised to find that her pregnancy was labeled "geriatric."

Her talk, published by storytelling website The Moth, is related with humor, and is a beautiful example of a mother determined to do the best for her son.
