Imagine being heartbroken after losing a much-wanted pregnancy, only to have a family member call you a murderer at a family gathering. That’s exactly what happened to one devastated couple. The wife had to undergo an induction abortion after learning their daughter wouldn’t survive outside the womb. The couple was still grieving when they attended a family event, where the husband had to break the tragic news. But instead of receiving support, they were met with cruel remarks from the brother-in-law.

Did He Go Too Far?
After losing their much-wanted pregnancy, this heartbroken couple faced cruel remarks from the husband’s pro-life brother-in-law at a family gathering. The husband fiercely defended his wife, calling the brother-in-law a ‘walking advertisement for abortion.’ While the sister initially apologized for her husband’s behavior, she also tried to justify it, leading to a heated argument. Later, the sister discovered the truth and was horrified, now considering leaving her husband. The internet is divided – did the husband go too far, or was his anger justified?
