[tri-wings] work/terminations

at work and there is a memo from the boss saying that everyone will have to
look after people terminating pregnancies, I would not have a problem with
it if I believed that they had all the information but since in Bec's 14 1/2
years only one dr ever  asked me to speak to another mother..........how can
I in good conscience look after people terminating pregnancies when they
have not been told about the Rebecca's, Paige's, Dom's, Devon's, Becky's ect
who do live and bring so much to so many?  I don't have a problem with their
right to discontinue their pregnancy if they have been given all the
information,  but if given all the info some might continue and some who
would continue because the baby will die might decide to terminate because
they don't want the life in the disability world.  But the question comes
down to how can I be a patient advocate when I am 90% sure they have been
lied to when told these kids don't live? Also what a nice employer to say
that I have to participate in terminating a child with the same dx that my
child who recently died had, hopefully my co workers will be more
compassionate in the assignment of the patients
