Couple Rejects Abortion, Chooses Life for All Their Quintuplets
Liz Townsend lifenews.com As we near the end of our year-long “Roe at 40” series, I’m going to particularly emphasize stories that affirm the best in us. I hope you will pass this account along to your pro-life family and friends. This appeared in National Right to Life News in 2007. Faced with doctors’ dire predictions and advice to “selectively reduce” their five unborn babies, Jayson and Rachelle Wilkinson made the choice for life. After 34-weeks and a temporary move to receive the best care for a multiple pregnancy, Rachelle gave birth to five healthy babies July 31. Now the Wilkinsons’ Cedar Park, Texas, home is full of joy and the always hectic activity surrounding Kyndall, Ryder, Rustin, Kaydence, and Kassidy and their older brother and sister Riley and Kaiya. When an ultrasound at seven weeks into the pregnancy showed five heartbeats, the Wilkinsons were astounded... Immediately, however, doctors recommended “selective reduction,” aborting three of the babies to improve the odds of survival for one set of twins. “They told us that all five would die, or if they lived they’d have lifelong disabilities,” Mrs. Wilkinson said. “All the medical authorities were telling us one thing while our hearts and minds were telling us something else.”... They found out about a doctor in Phoenix with experience in successfully delivering multiples. Mrs. Wilkinson moved to Arizona, and was put on bed rest beginning at 18 weeks of pregnancy. The babies’ best chance of survival was to remain in the womb until at least 34 weeks, which would be July 31. They did just that. Mrs. Wilkinson delivered five beautiful babies, small but healthy, on the target date. They weighed a total of 21 pounds, 7.2 ounces, which is the highest weight of quintuplets ever recorded in the United States, according to the Austin American-Statesman. to read more click here: lifenews.com
