Disposable

By C. A. James

An expectant mother if faced with a life-altering decision. Her life and that of her husband – and nearly one-eighth of the world’s population – will ultimately be impacted by the decision she makes, a choice facing literally millions of women each year. In essence, she must decide the fate of her unborn child. Should she listen to the medical profession, who insist that the “flawed fetus” within her should not be sentenced to a brief and meaningless existence? Or should she rely on nothing more than an odd promise transmitted via a strange and troubling dream?
